Captured Curls: Simona

Please, introduce yourself!

            I’m “The girl with the big hair” as most people like to refer to me as, however I am Simona to most! The girl you would never know is from Ghana. I’m an Afropolitan in love with all things PR, campaigns and special events! I love to host events, parties and networking extravaganzas! Also I’m a Howard University lady!

What is your current hair care regimen? 

            I wash my hair and deep condition weekly, but I use leave-in conditioner daily. It helps my hair stay nourished, and keeps my curls looking fresh.

What is your hair type and what works best for your texture?

            I have very thick curls, therefore I like to make sure my curls not only look bouncy and full, but is and looks healthy as well.  For my hair I use products that are geared towards natural and curly hair.  Products like Miss Jessies , Mixed Chicks or Cantu. Miss Jessies Curly Meringue and Curly Pudding is awesome! Curly Meringue is my favorite, it has sweet scent and softens my hair. Cantu leave in conditioner is definitely a good one, and Mixed Chicks shampoo and deep conditioner is amazing! I combine all three products.

What reaction did you get when you first decided to go natural?

              Well people fell in love with the big hair, and when they realized that I no longer had the straight hair , they got used to it! Now I don’t think anyone remembers what I look like with straight hair! Even I don’t!

 Did you BC or transition, if so when or for how long?

   I definitely did not BC because I have a lot of hair and it’s long, and I was not willing to part with Momo ( that’s what I call her), so I transitioned. I could not imagine the BC! It took like 6 months to transition. I had to find the right products, to figure out what worked best, what made it look dry, what made my hair sticky and frizzy. It was a process but now I am used to it and I love it!

What makes you love your kinks, curls and coils?

        What I love about it is that it is MINE! It’s unique and it fits my personality. It’s wild, carefree and loveable however what I particularly love is the attention grabber and a conversation starter quality. I have built many fabulous relationships because of my hair and I find I am more memorable with her. It’s the best accessory! I don’t know who runs the show, me or my hair?!
