Queen Sabrina ~ Queen Of Kinks, Curls & Coils® (Neno Natural)

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

My name is Sabrina Greene and I’m from Alexandra, Virginia (DMV area).

2. What is your hair type?

​Overall I would say i'm 3C type.

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

I went natural in November 2015.  I big chopped after transitioning for 11 months.  Prior to going natural, I started to dislike my relaxed hair.  That straight, damaged, lifeless mess was boring.  

​I noticed that I loved the thick and natural curly look.  Every naturalista I would see, I would compliment.  Then I thought, what the hell! Girl, go natural! Never in a million years would I have believed I was hiding such beautiful curls!

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

Deciding to cut when I did. I originally planned to transition for a year and a half, but was tired of dealing with the two different textures whenever I would take a protective style out.  So, I cut sooner than I planned. My hair was long all my life. So to go from long hair to basically a couple of inches of hair was shocking but I loved it.

I embraced it and in the end was happy with the decision I made. Cutting my hair sooner allowed me to learn what products worked for me etc. Also, it helped step my makeup game up, lol… Couldn’t have a short 'do without a lightly beat face. 

5. What is your weekly regimen? 

If my hair is not in a protective style (i.e. braids or cornrows) I deep condition once a week, do a wash&go and when it gets old I just wear my hair in a high bun for the remainder of the week.

6. What is your daily morning regimen? 

Add a little water maybe leave conditioner to a previous wash&go, fluff hair out with my hands and last, add jojoba oil to seal in moisture.

7. What is your daily night time regimen? 

Throw a bonnet on and go to sleep.

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

Only time I use heat is: before getting box braids (my hair gets blow dried before braiding), when deep conditioning (sitting under hooded dryer) and when I diffuse (low heat or cool setting).

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

I get my hair braided about 2-3 times a year.  I leave braids in for no longer than 2 months.

10. Wide-tooth comb or Denman brush? 

I use a wide-tooth comb when detangling in the shower.  I purchased a denman brush but haven’t put it to use yet because my curls define when I rake leave-in conditioner in with my fingers.

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

When it’s cold, in a protective style most of the time.  When it's warmer I like to wash&go.

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

No, I haven’t. Newly natural so… Was thinking about color but scared it will ruin my curl pattern.

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

​Deep condition weekly, moisturize daily, protective styles, trim when needed and patience.
