NaturallyCurly: Please introduce yourself!
Cassidy Blackwell: Hey Hey! My name is Cassidy and I am a P-R-O-U-D naturalista! I’m also the Marketing & PR Associate/Global Editor of TextureMedia.
NC: How and when did you start embracing your curls or have you always enjoyed/embraced your curls?
CB: It’s been about 2 years for me since I really started loving my teeny-weeny coils (named Lola”>. It was truly love at first sight- I haven’t looked back since!
NC: What is your current routine/regimen?
CB: I rarely stray from wash’n’gos and I like to my routine very very simple. I wash and style my hair about every 2-3 days and make sure to sleep every single night with a sleep cap.
NC: So from start to finish, on a curly day, what’s your process?
CB: I will cleanse with a gentle shampoo or a cleansing creme then condition with a moisture rich conditioner. If needed, I’ll detangle with the Ouidad Double Detangler (with the conditioner in!”>. Then I’ll follow with some sort of styling product. I’ve been really into products that act as a leave-in and styler all in one bottle. As I said, I like to keep it simple and the more I can cut down to just a single product, the better for me! Then I SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE my hair to fluff and set my coils and VOILA I’m done!
