2. What is your hair type?

I have 4B type hair!

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

I went natural 3 years ago after leaving a corporate sales job to pursue my writing career. I felt so free!

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

Maintain the length that I was growing, but since I've been wearing a lot of protective styles that have been helpful.

I use shea butter to style and plait my hair in small braids.

I take the braids out in the morning and style. I may or may not add more moisture to my ends.

I usually re-braid my hair into larger braids and wrap them in a scarf before bed.

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

Yes occasionally when I need to trim my hair or wish to wear it straight. I go to a salon to do and they use heat protectant.

9. Do you braid your hair? If so, how often do you do so in a year?

Yes I do. I wear my hair in braid during the summer months.

10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush?

Because of my hair texture definitely a wide-tooth comb made from tortoise-shell.

11. Is your hair normally loose or in a protective-do?

It depends on the season. Loose in the spring and autumn and protective do either braids or a extensions in the summer and winter.

12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it?

Yes I was in a rush to take out my braids and accidentally cut my hair. A large tuft square in the middle. Big-chop Part 2.

To always condition and moisture your ends. This helps not lessen the frequency of trims.
