1. What's your name and where are you from? 

My name is Staci Tyson and I am from Kansas City, MO

2. What is your hair type?

My hair falls between 4B and 4C

3. When did you go natural and what made you do it? 

I big-chopped on 13 April 2011. My first born daughter inspired me to go natural. At that time she was almost 2yrs old. I decided if I wanted her to embrace her beautiful texture, then I must lead by example so I went in the bathroom and cut all my relaxed hair off!

4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? 

Learning to manage my new texture and gaining the understanding that my natural texture was completely different than my relaxed hair. I was on YouTube faithfully looking for natural beauties that had similar textures as mines.I quickly became a product junkie, searching for products that worked best for my hair.

5. What is your weekly regimen? 

I really don’t have a solid weekly regimen other than making sure my hair is moisturize at all times. However, I do co-wash my hair bi-weekly and I deep condition monthly!

6. What is your daily morning regimen? 

I start off by moisturizing my hair with water and oil ( evoo, coconut oil or Carol’s daughter Lisa’s Hair Elixir), I then fluff, take down twist, and or pin up my hair. It really depends on the style I am rocking! 

7. What is your daily night time regimen? 

I always moisturize my hair before bed. I use a hair lotion or one of my favorite oils and a spritz of water. I try not to ever go to bed with my hair completely out, that's just asking for a detangling fight. I twist my hair into about ten twist or I will bun it up, ensuring my ends are covered then I finish off with a satin bonnet.

8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? 

Yes, I straighten my hair once a year to check my length and the condition of my ends. If needed I take this opportunity to trim my ends.

1. What's your name and where are you from? 

My name is Rikki Danielle and I am originally from Kansas City, Mo., currently residing in Hawaii. 

2. What is your hair type?

My hair is a mix of 3c and 4a. 

3. When did you go natural and what made you do it? 

I went natural on January 1st, 2005. I transitioned for 4 months prior with micro braids and kinky twists (those were super popular then!) and did the big chop for the new year. It was my senior year of high school and I was soon to graduate. I wanted to start my new chapter with a change. My sister transitioned in her middle school years and her hair is beautiful. We have they same parents so I thought to myself, " I know my hair is just as pretty! We have the same genes!!" 

4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural? 

Gosh, the change! Having relaxed hair seemed so much easier at the time. Trying to find the right products. In 2005, there weren't all the natural hair brands like now. No stylists in my area knew much about caring for natural hair. It was a lot of trial and error! I did wash/go's every day. 

5. What is your weekly regimen? 

Right now, my regimen consists of weekly washing & deep conditioning, then I finger coiling my hair. That is what I'm known for now! I love them because I can do the coils and not have to do it again for a week! I also love the definition and how polished my hair looks. I'm not a fan of the frizz! I love the way polished natural hair looks on me.  

6. What is your daily morning regimen? 

In the mornings, I unwrap my hair and use a bit of water to bring my hair back to life. I may have to recoil a few smashed coils, but other than that, I'm good for the day! 

7. What is your daily night time regimen? 

I simply put a little of an oil  on my hair then wrap it with my satin scarf. Super easy! 

8. Do you use heat on your hair at all? 

No! I will not use heat until I've grown my hair out a couple years. I know how damaging heat can be and I want to retain as much length as possible! I didn't use much heat when my hair was relaxed and it did well, so I know my hair will be even better without heat being natural. 

1. What's your name and where are you from? 

Hey curl friends I am Rajeeyah Sahar and I am from Saint Louis, Missouri!

2. What is your hair type?

I have two different curl patterns. The sides and back are 4b and the front and crown are 4c with an S curl.

3. When did you go natural and what made you do it?

I originally went natural back in 2007 when I decided to loc my hair. But I made the wrong decision to relax it after I combed my locs out in December of 2009. I wasn’t educated on the care and techniques for kinky hair. After wearing a relaxer for a year. I just got tired of the breakage and started watching Youtube videos and got the inspiration from some veteran naturals. I big chopped on Feb 19, 2011. It was the best conscious decision I’ve made.

4. What was the most challenging thing about going natural?

The most challenging thing about returning natural was finding hair styles during that awkward stage between 3-6 months.

5. What is your weekly regimen?

I keep it simple with my regime and people are still amazed at how my hair stays so healthy. I shampoo every 2 weeks using my line of RSNs Cleansing Shampoo which is sulfate free. I deep condition every 2 weeks are well. I mainly use the LOC (Liquid, Oil, Cream) method which is applying water first, then an oil to seal, and finally a cream which is my Hy-Definition Twist Butter.

6. What is your daily morning regimen? 

I wear my hair out a lot, so in the morning before work I untwist or unbraid my hair and apply an oil to it and GO.

7. What is your daily night time regimen? 

At night I always wrap my precious curls with a scarf. It’s important to use a satin or silk scarf to allow moisture to get to your hair.

8. Do you use heat on your hair at all?

I very rarely use heat and when I do it just to lightly stretch my curls.
