NC: What are your must-have products and tools?
SL: I must have Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm, a rich and moisturizing conditioner. It is my holy grail and I have not been able to find anything else that works as great! My hair is so dry and frizzes easily, but this product helps to tame and moisturize my hair. Another must-have is SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie. It is very thick and moisturizing…and overall it works great on my hair!
NC: Did you big chop or transition? For how long?
SL: In early 2013, researched the Curly Girl Method thoroughly and I immediately stopped using sulfates and silicones. I also gave up flat ironing my hair and decided to go all-natural and embrace what I was given!
NC: What reaction did you get when you decided to go natural?
SL: Most of my friends didn’t know that I had curly hair! I got a lot of compliments and glances. My husband cheered me on and was very glad that the natural curls stayed for good. It felt great and I was excited to see my curly hair’s potential.
