Featured: Big Chop! Newbie Natural Sista

day after big chop

Hey Every meet Renee Ffrench. A new natural sista who did the big chop and began her natural journey.

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 for five months now; I decided to go natural because I wanted to change up my sense of style. At first when I had cut off my hair it was a shocker but most of my friends and family members say that I’m rocking the short hair perfectly.

2) What do you like about being natural?

 I have less breakage when I bleach my hair often, it stays intact as oppose to when my hair was relaxed

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

2 months

My hair texture is 4A .

4) What products do you use to maintain your hair? (Please be specific, thank you!)

Most times I don’t use anything in my hair but when I do I rub the clear gel in, I use tropic isle living black castor oil shampoo to wash my hair on a weekly basis or at least every two weeks, I also use their hair food or their strong roots red pimento oil to moisturize and or oil my scalp.

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 try to comb out my hair every week but because my natural curls as so tight it doesn’t really make a difference but I do anyways to get rid off all my dead hair. But what I do almost every morning is wet my hair or rub a little gel to keep my curls neat and fuzzy free. I don’t co-wash my hair but when I do wash it I strictly air dry.

6) What are your favorite styling products?

My favorite product is the tropic isle living strong roots red pimento oil. Why?  It helps to thicken my hair especially how I bleach my hair roots regularly.

7) What is your best kept hair secret?

4 months

I really don’t have any

8) (Please finish the sentence) My natural hair is beautiful because ....?

…I’m a true natural Sista!

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

I only use tropic isle living products.
