NC: What are your favorite hairstyles to wear with your curls?
KW: Usually, I leave my hair to hang and bounce and do whatever it pleases. Every now and again, I wear a top knot, the pineapple style, or I loosely tie my curls at the back of my neck.
NC: What are your must-have products and tools?
KW: A wide-tooth comb, conditioner, jojoba oil, coconut oil, hemp oil and occasionally, a diffuser.
NC: What do you do at nighttime for your hair?
KW: I apply gel to my hair. This might sound strange, but it helps to keep the curl locked during restless nights.
NC: What reaction did you get when you first decided to go natural?
KW: Everybody reacted positively, although my mother was skeptical at the beginning, always wanting me to straighten it or tie it or do something to it that wasn’t natural.
NC: Did you big chop or transition and for how long? Did you ever have any curly girl insecurities?
KW: After relaxing my hair for ten years, I let it grow out for a bit before deciding to chop off all the relaxed hair. It took my hair two years to get to its “prime curl.” I had a lot of insecurities at the beginning. Was my curly hair curly enough? Why was my volume not on par with hers? But you soon get over all that.
