NC: What is the best thing about being curly?
CF: Being a Guyanese woman, my curls definitely set me apart. Most of the women from my country have straight hair. I don’t know how I got so lucky. I love the constant compliments and the best ones are when people think I use a curling iron!
NC: What would you tell others to encourage them to embrace their curls?
CF: My favorite phrase…DON’T FIGHT THE FRIZZ! A little bit of frizz is healthy. Don’t kill yourself trying to tame every single bit you find. Embrace your beautiful curls and stop relaxing/straightening them.
I also HATE to see that wet crunchy look because too much gel/mousse/hairspray is used. My hair has it’s moments and I embrace every part of it. Curl patterns from wavy to kinky-curly can be unruly and unpredictable but always beautiful. I prefer my hair to have more volume which usually means more frizz but I love it.
NC: Tell us about your current and upcoming projects!
CF: I have a fan page on Facebook that focuses on health, beauty and female empowerment that I am working on growing each day. I also just ventured out into the world of YouTube and I am working very hard on getting more exposure and growing my channel by getting more subscribers. I just created a new fitness/weight loss support group as well. I am also working on my very own website where I will incorporate all the things that keep me busy such as being a wife, mom, interior decorator and beauty blogger/vlogger. I wear a lot of hats but each venture is equally as important because I’m equally passionate about all of them.
You can find me on Facebook or on YouTube!
