Rebecca Is Naturally Glam!

Were you a slow transitioner or a Big
Chopper & why? (tell us your natural hair journey)

I had been blow drying/flat ironing my hair
straight for 15-20 years. In 2011,
on a sightseeing trip to Rome, we were on the go from 7am to 7pm, so there was
no time for blow drying or flat ironing!
I just wore my hair in its natural state for a week (it was much shorter
then). I liked it so much that
when I got home I just kept it that way; it hasn’t been straightened in over 2
years!

Had you always embraced your texture?

Unfortunately, no.

How did family and friends react to your
decision to go natural? How did they react to the new you? What was your
response to them?

The reaction was universal: “Why had you been straightening it for
so long??” Everyone loved it, and
that only strengthened my resolve to keep it curly.

Describe your hair (fine or
coarse, thin or thick, highly porous, low, etc.)

My hair is a little coarse, thick and highly
porous.

What’s your current hair routine?
How often do you wash, condition, and style? favorite products! Deets!

I wash and condition twice, sometimes three
times a week. I dry my hair
(gently!) with a microfiber towel.
I use DevaCurl No Poo and DevaCurl One Conditioner or sometimes I use
NYC Curls The Curl Conditioner. I
also use DevaCurl Styling cream.
Sometimes I’ll use the blow dryer on a low setting if I’m in a hurry.
