Name: Tamara
My hair is kinky, coily and coarse depending on the section of my hair. It appears to be very thick but my individual strands are very thin and breaks very easily.
I've been natural for a little over two years. November 2008 was my BC month.
I was tired of damaging my hair with relaxers, weaves, braids and all around ill-practices. I began searching the internet for hair advice and tips because at that point I had sworn off all hairstylists. In my search I became more exposed to natural hair and its beauty, versatility and flyness. It took me about two failed transition attempts before I finally got the nerve to do the big chop. I planned to transition for 18 months but only made it to seven months before I BC'd. I haven't looked back since.
What is the main difference between having natural hair vs chemically relaxed hair?
Versatility and for me personally over all health. I love that I can wear my hair in a fro, twist out, braid out, straight all in one week.
I'm a twist out girl. it takes me no time to twist it up and night and even less time to take them down it the morning. Bobby pins have become my best friend also, I love to just throw my hair up in a chic free-style updo from time-to-time. It keeps things fresh and exciting.
Do you accessorize your hair? What accessories do you use?
I don't use accessories in my hair often at all. I can count on one hand the times I've put something in my hair, twice. I'm not really a flower in the hair type girl but I will do it for a festive occasion. My type of hair accessories would be to completely cover it with a hat or scarf. LOL
- Shampoo with Giovanni Golden Wheat Shampoo
- Deep Condition with Giovanni Smooth as Silk Conditioner or Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose
- Leave-In Conditioner with Giovanni Direct Leave-In
- Twist my hair using Carol's Daughter Hair Milk or Bee Mine Curly Butter
- Seal in Moisture with Raw Organic Shea Butter and Coconut Oil
What is your hair regimen? How often do you wash/co-wash?
I wash once every week to week in a half. I deep condition after every shampoo. Sometimes I co-wash, sometimes I don't. I used to try and do it consistently but I am noticing that my hair really doesn't need it.
Blogs and youtube has been a God send. They have helped me with my journey through inspiration, overall knowledge, reviews and tutorials. I am so grateful for those two sources.
