Check out what Tiffany from New Jersey had to say about her natural hair journey as she shares her favorite hair products, accessories, and fav hair idol.
(Before)
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN NATURAL?
I started to go natural July 2011.
WHY DECIDE TO GO NATURAL?
I had two friends convince me and my mothers hair is very thin due to the perm so im trying to avoid that.
DID YOU DO A BIG CHOP OR TRANSITION?
I just did a transition since my hair was already short
WHAT DO YOU DO ON 'BAD HAIR' DAYS?
I usually take a stylish scarf and tie in a bow until my hair gets done
DO YOU HAVE A SIGNATURE HAIR STYLE?
My hair is short so there isn't much I can do with it but I love the cut that it's in
WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU GIVE SOMEONE WHO'S STRUGGLING IN THEIR TRANSITION?
Just to stick it out. It is rough in the beginning but the end result is amazing! Someone told me to get a rod set or straw set during the transition and that really worked
IS/ARE THERE ANY PRODUCT(S) YOU JUST CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT?
The products that I'm using Talia Wajid. It makes my hair very soft and it's not expensive.
DO YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR HAIR SINCE ITS NATURAL VS WHEN IT WAS RELAXED? IF SO, WHAT?
I feel that my hair is much thicker and healthier than before.
DID YOU RECEIVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FROM FAMILY/FRIENDS WHEN YOU DECIDED TO GO NATURAL? IF SO, HOW DID YOU DEAL WITH IT?
WHO/WHAT DO YOU USE FOR SUPPORT? (WHETHER STYLES, ENCOURAGEMENT, IDEAS, ECT) I received some negative feedback from my hair dresser and a friend of mine saying that I couldn't do it and I'll be getting a perm that next week. Well it's almost been a year and I'm still going strong and they can't believe it. I use my friends as encouragement and I love Solange's natural hair. Looking at her hair has really encouraged me to keep going.
I LOVE MY NATURAL HAIR BECAUSE ...
I love my natural hair because it represents being Black and being Black is beautiful.
