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

I began going natural 3 years ago, I transitioned for 18 months and did the big chop on November 1, 2012.  I had been contemplating it for a while, but one day I sat in the mirror after my beautician had permed my hair and I noticed that it was thinning out and it wasn’t what it used to be.  So, at that moment I decided that it was enough.  I also, got my daughter to do it as well and she did the big chop and has been rocking it.

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

The in-between stage, when I didn’t know what to do with it, it was kind of depressing.

I deep condition weekly, I either do greek yogurt, Shea Moisture deep masque or banana and olive oil

I spritz it with distilled water and various oils.

I  usually have a twist out, I just spray with water and oil.  Water seems to keep my hair moisturized

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

I used it one time last year when I cut all the perm off and it damaged my hair so I didn’t do it again.
