NC: What are your must-have products and tools?
SR: My wide tooth comb! I love that thing! And my silk pillowcase is good to my hair too. I really started appreciating my curls after I found Kinky-Curly Curling Custard and I’ve always been a fan of Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-In Conditioning Cream.
NC: What are your favorite hairstyles to wear with your curls
SR: I was the queen of hairstyling growing up. I did everything from braids to buns. My favorite by far is a side part with bang braids on each side joining in the back. But I just recently got my hair cut in layers, so right now I just enjoy wearing it loose.
NC: What do you do at nighttime for your hair?
SR: The pineapple or a bun. I always sleep on my satin pillowcase, but it usually ends up slipping off my bed in the middle of the night. Does anyone else have that problem?
NC: What reaction did you get when you started embracing your curls?
SR: When I started embracing my curls instead of just putting my hair up all the time, I got a mix of reactions…luckily most of them were positive! The guys that I work with LOVE my hair. They always tell me that it looks perfect and that every woman should be jealous. My dad, on the other hand, thinks that I tease my hair to make it big on purpose. “No Dad, this is just how my hair is.” He doesn’t get it…probably because he’s bald.
