On going natural…

I chopped off all of my hair in 2008. I’ve been natural for 2 years.

Hair care regimen…

I wash my hair twice a week and I let the conditioner sit for an hour.

On styling…

I like to wear my hair wild and free. After I wash and condition my hair, I usually just let it air dry and eat chocolate cookies and milk.

On trimming…

I get my hair trimmed every month.

On heat…

I let my hair dry naturally and I only use flat irons for special events.

On color…

I dye my hair every 2-3 months and I like colors like honey blonde to compliment my skin tone.

After this photo…

I just cut all of my hair off so I’m like India Arie when she first cut her dreads.
