NaturallyCurly: Please introduce yourself!Nora Huber: My name is Nora (also known as shalimarcat”>. I’m 22 years old and I’m a medical student and YouTuber from Switzerland! My hair is a mixture of 2c and 3a curls, coarse and fine and really prone to frizz!
NC: How and when did you start embracing your curls?
NH: I have always had a love/hate relationship with my hair…like a lot of other curlies, I suppose! I tried to go natural three times without success, and it was only a year ago that I fully accepted myself as a curly girl. Before, I only felt pretty when my hair was straight because everyone I knew and looked up to had straight hair. One day I realized that the only person I had to measure myself against was just… me! At that time I started to love myself for being me, and my hair was suddenly gorgeous!
NC: From start to finish, on a curly day, what’s your process?
NH: I’m a bit of an experimenter with my products, but I have a basic routine that I truly LOVE: I haven’t used shampoo for two years, and I clean my hair with the As I Am Coconut Cleansing Conditioner. I use another conditioner to detangle my hair (the Darcy’s Botanicals Pumpkin Seed Moisturizing Conditioner in the winter, and the Jessicurl Aloeba in the summer”> first with my fingers, than with my tangle teazer. I rinse out the 60% of the conditioner, scrunch my hair to remove excess water, and with my hair parted in two sections, I apply my leave-in (I’m truly in love with the Kinky-Curly Knot Today“>. I rake, shake, and scrunch, and I repeat those steps with my styler (I adore the Kinky-Curly Curling Custard“>. I let my curls air dry in the summer, but I diffuse in the winter because 23 inches of hair is a LOT!
