NaturallyCurly: Please introduce yourself!

Gisela Garcia: Hi my name is Gisela. I’m twenty five years old and expecting my first baby, a girl, in January 2014.

NC: How and when did you start embracing your curls?

GG: I always enjoyed my curls although I definitely had days when I wished I had straight hair. I really started embracing my curls in my teens, when I was able to experiment with different hair products and styles. 

NC: What’s your current routine?

GG: I try to keep it simple with a shampoo and conditioner for curls. I just started using L’Oréal Paris EverCurl products right after I shower; I use it twist sections with my fingers and define my curls. Then I let my hair air dry. My hair is soft and frizz-free, which I love. I don’t like to use a hair dryer because I feel that it damages my hair. 

NC: From start to finish on a curly day, what’s your process?

GG: I wash my hair and comb it while it’s still wet. Then I put my products in, usually with my hair flipped forward. I use my hands to scrunch and make a tighter curl, or I twist sections for a looser curl.
