The funny thing is, people only know me for having straight hair for work, but I live in Atlanta where it's hot and humid in the summertime. So when I'm home, I wear my hair natural. My hair is naturally curly; I don't have a relaxer.

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.

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.

My hair is a safety net for me, so I love to have it down and full and relaxed.

I try to always have a hair cut that I don't have to style every day, so I'll usually just let my hair air dry.

My hair is naturally curly, and in the 80's, even though I experimented with different lengths, I generally wore it curly. Since then, I've learned how to use a blow dryer and flat iron.

My natural hair texture is very kinky.

You must understand the texture of your hair before you choose a style.

My hair is naturally straight, and I maintain its texture. My weekly indulgence is an egg-white and olive oil hair mask that deep-conditions and adds incredible shine.

I don't have much choice these days in how I have my hair.
