Hello Beautiful Readers!
Here is the NNQ of the week
Enjoy her story!
Tell me about YOU:
Well...I'm Annastazia Mendez. I'm a Wife and a Mommy and I'm learning to get better at both. I'm a freelance Makeup artist and i consider myself to be a fairly artistic person. I like fashion, music, and makeup. I also love people and being out and about, though I rarely get to go out and meet new people, let only the people I already know.
My ultimate goal is to be successful at whatever I put my mind to. I want to be a makeup artist at The New York Fashion Week, so that's what I'm striving for. Now i do work for Fashion and Editorial Shoots. I love the work that I do.
I especially hate when people put you down or look you over because your not super popular or I the right crowd. Ya know what I say to that "You can sleep on my now, but you'll be lookin for me real soon!"

Tell me your hair care regimen:
Right now my hair is short, so it's not a lot of fuss. I start my day off with a conditioner wash and I follow up Taliah Waajid's Protective Mist Bodifier and Body Shop's Coconut hair oil. I mostly wear comb twists in my hair, then throughout the week I separate them till I end up with a curly TWA.
Tell me your texture and what works best on your hair type:
I have a tight curl to my hair, so I mostly use anything that will moisturize and soften my hair, like Miss Jessie's Buttercreme.
Tell me the reaction you got when first going natural:
I've been natural before for a year, but when I decided to move to NY I got a relaxer and cut it short to have, what I considered, a more conservative look. But when I had my twins my husband and I decided to grow our hair so that our kids would both have a positive image of natural hair. Our children our Bi-racial and we wanted them to be proud of they're uniqueness.
Did you BC or transition:
The first time I went natural i transitioned... That took to long. I'm not scared of cutting my hair so the second time around I chopped that joint. My mother is a hairstylist and she taught my not to be so protective over my hair. She told me, "Anna your hair is really waste and proteins. Don't be to vain, because God forbid something happens to you and you lose your hair you'd be devastated." So I didn't. There are women with cancer who can't grow an inch of hair.
What makes you a natural hair queen:
For one I'm proud of my blackness and

Go gurl! We must teach the children to be proud of what God bestowed upon us and what the ancestors passed down. Not all parent share this vision. Your story was very inspiring.
