Feature Friday!

We haven't done a Feature Friday post in fo eva!so without further ado, we present Monique! a newly natural who was tired of breakage and damage. Here's her story:

1) How long have you been natural and what make you do so? Also, How do family and friends react to your hair?

- I have been natural now for about 7-8 months.

2) What do you like about being natural?

- It gives me a sense of freedom and appreciation for the history behind my hair texture.
- Also, it's fun to do creative things with my natural hair that express my feelings (without worrying about chemical damage).

3) How would you describe your hair? (loose/tight curls, waves, 3b-3c 4a-4b, if you know,etc...)

- My hair has tight curls in the front and loose curls in the back. The top, front part of my head is straight but more curls are starting to appear.

4) What products do you use to maintain your hair?

- Currently I am Using:
--Burt's Bees Very Volumizing Shampoo With Pomegranate


--Burt's Bees Very Volumizing Conditioner With Pomegranate 

--Africa's Best Ultimate Herbal Oil

--Sometimes I use Black Castor Oil And Shea Butter

5) What is your hair care routine? do you co-wash? (conditioner only) how often do you co-wash? do you blow dry or air dry? etc...

- I don't use heat on my hair. I like to co-wash, but not often. I also like to limit the amount of shampoo I use in my hair because it makes it dry.
- I try to co-wash once a week but I'm not sure how often I should wash. (Any Suggestions?)

6) What are your favourite styling products?

-Africa's Best Ultimate Herbal Oil

7) What is your best kept hair secret?
-I don't really have one.
8)  My natural hair is beautiful because....?

-it's a part of me.

9) Is there anything else you would like to add?

-Thank you so much for choosing me. I look forward to learning from you. :-) 

 

 We suggest that you take a look at your shampoo to see if it is too harsh for your hair, try  sulphate-free or moisturizing shampoos like KeraCare Natural Textures Cleansing Creme or  Jane Carter Hydrating shampoo check out these reviews here and here. 

You should try pre-pooing as well. JoJo's go too product for dry hair is KimmayTube's Leave-In Condish! FABULOUS! Co-wash when you feel your hair needs a little moisture or needs a little cleaning and you dont want to use shampoo too often. 

Find what works for you, keep a hair diary, track how your hair responds when ever you wash your hair, and what you use to wash it with. Your hair will tell you exactly what it needs!
