- Have you always been
natural? If not what made you go natural?
I’ve not always been natural. I was once relaxed for a number of years. Then came 2013 when I discovered that there is more to my hair than it just being straight and that underneath al that was curly hair that was all mine. - Your hair always looks
so healthy, are you on a healthy hair journey? What inspired you to start
one?
I am indeed on a healthy hair journey mainly to inspire others and see what exactly my hair can be when left to its on devices.
I started a healthy hair journey to find myself and be free of the hectic schedule of maintaining relaxed hair and trying to identify with something that isn’t mine.
- Do you have a hair routine? How easy was it
getting into a regimen, knowing the right products etc?
I do have a hair routine, but it can be flexible and it’s dictated by how my hair feels at that given moment. Finding a routine that worked for my hair and me was a bit hard, took me almost 2 years into my journey to find what best works for my hair. And as for products, it is still trial and error for a few of them. - How do you fit hair care into your busy lifestyle?
It has been difficult to
fit my hair care into my lifestyle, but I was able to find a way to do it. As
long as I focus on keeping my hair moisturised, I can go up to two weeks
without washing it.
- Do you believe in such a thing as bad hair? Do
you believe that African/ black women have good hair?
There is nothing like bad hair. African women have amazing hair, we just need to drift away from the mind-set that our hair is bad an unmanageable and in actual fact it is the opposite. -And slowly but surely, more women are embracing their true selves which includes loving their hair. - What have you learnt about healthy hair care that you would love to share with African women, especially those who want to start a natural hair journey?
I’ve learnt to listen to my
hair and give it what it needs when it needs it. There is so much information
out there, but at the end of the day, one needs to find what best suits their hair,
because each and every head of hair is different.
- What goals do you have for your hair?
I would love my hair to
grow long, luscious and healthy to a point I no longer know what to do with it and
to be able to inspire my own children when I finally get the opportunity to
start my own family.
- Do you do your own hair? What is your
favourite natural hairstyle and why?
Yes, from the very beginning I have done my hair. To be able too understand ones own hair, one needs to be able to do it themselves.
Currently, I’ve been rocking twists to keep my hair protected and moisturised as I’ve been too busy to let it out. - Did you always believe that you could grow a
huge Afro? What changed your mind?
I never believed that I would till I finally tried. I believe that you don’t know if something will work till you try it out.
- Is there a product you can’t live without?
This is a hard one to choose, but if I had a gun at my head and had to choose, I’d have to say a good moisturising deep conditioner. - Do you think natural hair is expensive to
keep?
For my hair care routine and lifestyle, I don’t believe natural hair is expensive. As stated earlier, I do my own hair and each product I use doesn’t go beyond Kes. 500. Therefore, in a month I won’t use more than Kes. 2000.
