Week after BC
What is your name?
>Sequoia
What is your Kinky Girl name?
>Twisted Vixen
Why did you decide to go natural?
>Going natural was something different from what I was use to. I decided to go natural unexpectedly and I wanted to see how long my hair would grow when it is natural compared to having a perm.
What was some of the feedback you received once you informed friends/family about your decision to go natural?
>There were a lot of people who did not believe that I was going natural and had a lot of negative responses. The main thing that everyone said was "Why would you do that when your hair is beautiful” and the response I gave was “It will be beautiful and healthy all in one!”
What do you love most about being or going natural?
>I love how healthy my hair looks. When I was getting a perm I needed to add a lot of grease to get the shine that I already had naturally. Also I love how diverse my hair is now; I can wear it curly or straight and the different styles I can wear are great!
What are your favorite products for your natural hair?
>Right now I am still experimenting with different products, but the main ones that have been consistent are Eco Styler Gel, Herbal Essences Conditioners (Totally Twisted & Length and Strength), Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and finally Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.
~~BC (Big Chop) was done January 25th, 2010 after an 11 month transition~~
