Hello Beautiful People!
Meet my NNQ for the week...
Name: Ashley
Time Natural: Aprox. 1 year
Why did you go natural?:
What first inspired me was kelis, followed by one of my friends in cosmetology school. I always liked the exotic look but never had the patience. That all went away when I tried to color my blonde patch back to black and my hair broke off. I felt like it failed me, but really I failed it.
Did you BC, transition or both?:
I transitioned with weaves, I was too scared to cut it. After about 4 months I unleashed it and soon after shaved half my head. After three months of that I decided to cut it all off. I've always had the most ignorant phobia of "looking African" so this was my cure.
What response did you get once you BC'd?:
My reaction going natural wasn't always good, some people close to me made some rude remarks
What is your hair care regimen?:
Still Searching and Experimenting.
What is your hair type?:
My hair is medium coiled curls, the pattern varies throughout my head.
What works best on your curls?:
I'm still finding the right products for me, but right now Carol's daughter and clear gel is working for me.
What makes you a Natural Hair Queen?:
I think what makes me a natural hair queen is that I'm finally embracing myself, and not hiding it. This is me, this is Ashley.
