NC: What are your favorite hairstyles to wear with your curls?
GD: My favorite hairstyles are wash and gos because they are easy and quick! I also use flexi rods and do twist outs on my hair.
NC: What are your must-have products and tools?
GD: I must have my Cantu Shea Butter and my olive oil. I would be lost without them!
NC: Do you color your hair?
GD: I would say that coloring my hair is my guilty pleasure. Right now, my hair is a brownish-red. I get it colored professionally at a salon.
NC: What do you do at nighttime for your hair?
GD: At night, I simply sleep with my lovely cheetah-print satin scarf!
NC: What reaction did you get when you first decided to go natural?
GD: Most people asked, “Are you sure you want to go natural?” I had a lot of pressure…people told me to continue getting relaxers because, “you aren’t going to know how to take care of your natural hair.” Transitioning was definitely the hardest part of the journey. People would ask, “When are you getting another relaxer?”
NC: Did you big chop or transition? For how long?
GD: I transitioned for a year. It was difficult, but totally worth it in the end!
