NaturallyCurly: Please introduce yourself!Kim Windvogel: Hi, naturally curlies! My name is Kim, aka Blazing Empress. I am a writer and performer.
NC: How and when did you start embracing your curls?
KW: My journey with my curls was always hot and cold, until two years ago. I think that was the time when my hair became more than just hair. Without chemicals, it became a political statement, my first love, and an extension of me.
NC: What’s your current routine?
KW: I wash my hair with dread shampoo. Because this tends to dry out my hair, I am careful to moisturize properly. I use a mixture of jojoba oil, coconut oil, and hemp oil. A good, glistening conditioner also helps lock the curl.
NC: From start to finish, on a curly day, what’s your process?
KW: After washing with shampoo, be it dread shampoo or any other shampoo, I condition my hair and comb through it. Afterwards (if I have time”>, I let my curls air dry and then scrunch with my oil mixture. If I am in a rush, I quickly diffuse my curls, which adds great volume!
