CN: What are your staple hair styles? How do you achieve them?
Yvette: If it were left up to me I’d wash and wear my hair just wild and crazy. But as I mentioned above, it’s pretty thick and it can get really BIG. I don’t know if polite society is ready for all that. LOL! So I usually put it up in a full ponytail on top of my head. If it’s a fancy type of event, I will bobby pin it into a bun of some sort. It’s usually big and messy, but again, big hair is cool with me! If it’s a busy day and I don’t have time to fuss with my hair, I just slick it back into a low pony tail with lots of gel. It’s usually a helmet by the time it dries (lol!”> but it’s easy for a day when I’m running errands, etc. And my methods are simple, I don’t like a lot of fuss. I just use large headband elastics from Goody. I think you can get 8 of ’em for like $2.50 from a drug store.
CN: How do you protect your hair at night?
Yvette: I’m the worst when it comes to protecting my hair. I’ve heard that silk pillowcases are awesome. I keep telling myself I need to invest in one of those. I don’t really do anything at night. I don’t wrap my hair, pin curl it or anything else. I just lay down and go to sleep. I know, that’s horrible, right? What tips do you guys have?
CN: What’s the best thing about being curly?
Yvette: The best thing about being curly is that I can just wash my hair and go. Don’t get me wrong, I like to sit under the dryer because the dripping drives me crazy, but on a day when I’m rushing, I can truly just wash my hair in the shower, towel dry it, put a quick dab of a leave-in or curl souffle type product on it and walk out the door. Also, whenever it’s unruly, a little water and a elastic band and all is well. It’s the easiest hairstyle I’ve ever had!
