July 26, 2007, marks the date Elisa Dobbins got her last chemical relaxer and she hasn't looked back since! After 20 years of relaxers, over processing, and heat damage, she decided to take matters into her own hands, chronicling her natural hair journey through a blog, From Dyed and Fried to Happy and Nappy. She is also contributing writer aka the ingredients connoisseur for The Coil Review where she focuses on getting to the bottom of ingredients in hair products, as well as, products that can be used in homemade mixes. Elisa is a self-proclaimed product junkie and loves to try to share products in hope of helping other curlies make educated purchases. When it comes to hairstyles, she will try it all and share the results whether good or bad! If you aren't paying close attention, her hair color and style might change with the blink of an eye!
Elisa lives in the Washington, D.C. area near family and friends. She has a great boyfriend and is in the process of applying to business school in hopes of pursuing a career in both beauty and marketing.
