I'd say 4a

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

Two years ago. I wanted a change.

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

Cutting my relaxed ends was hard for me. It meant that I wouldn't have long hair. Once I cut it off I got over it.

5. What is your weekly regimen?

I wash every week. I wash my hair in sections. I two strand twist while my hair is still damp with Shea butter. And let it air dry. If I'm press for time I'll add leave in conditioner and pull my hair back into a ponytail using Eco styler gel for a smoother look.

6. What is your daily morning regimen?

Very simple. I remove my bonnet and fluff.

Add some Shea butter and throw on a bonnet.

Yes but not often. I'll use heat to stretch my hair. If I need a trim I straighten my hair.

Only for braid outs.

10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush?

Both

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

It's normally loose however I've been wearing my hair in buns recently.

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

The first time I got a Dominican blow out my hair texture changed. It became easier to maintain but I did not like it. It wasn't as fluffy. My hair was in shock. I got a shaping/haircut.

13. What's your biggest tip for maintaining healthy or long hair?

Keep it moisturized!!!!
