My natural hair texture is very kinky.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You must understand the texture of your hair before you choose a style.
When I do my hair down, it just does not look good. It's just stringy, and it's like a hot mess.
I actually love my natural hair when it's in a twist out and it's been slept on for five days and revived by the steam of the shower.
My hair is capable of doing a lot of different things.
I'm always hairy. I swear too much.
I think it's huge that I'm wearing my natural hair texture on ABC in prime time. As Dr. Rainbow Johnson on 'Black-ish,' I think my hair is part of the reality of this woman's life. She has four children and is an anesthesiologist and a wife. She doesn't have a lot of time to fuss with beauty, so her look is pretty simple.
My hair is like flat baby hair after I wash it, so it needs something in it to get that 'day after' texture.
I strongly prefer to keep my hair loose and wavy, leaving it as natural as possible.
I decided to start embracing and wearing my natural hair, but there was only one problem; I didn't know what to do with it or how to style it. Growing up, all I knew was my relaxed, processed hair, so I had to go through this learning phase.
I have no detectable hair style.
