Introduce yourself!
C: My name is Chisom Selina Kalu. I'm Nigerian and reside in Lagos, Nigeria.
Why did you make the decision to go natural?
C: I went natural just because wanted my hair to gain strength and height. I was before now addicted to hair products so much so that even when my hair got in contact with water, it naturally curled but somewhere along the line, my hair lost beauty and started deteriorating and soon it was obvious my hair was damaged. There were a lot of advice and recommendations and stuff but I decided to try this out. I honestly didn't know it would be this cool. I will be 2 years natural on the 4th of November, 2016.
How would you describe your texture?
C: I am in the type 4 category of Coily/Kinky hair.
Describe your styling regimen over the course of the month.
C: Will I Flat Twist, I weave, I twist, I do bumps and whatever style my mind can lay hold on. Sometimes I do protective hair styles with hair extensions, but Generally to keep my hair in good Shape, I have learnt to make my own Coconut Oil, I shampoo and condition my hair, wash my hair especially when I do a twist, to avoid shrinking lol and moisturize and I use water! Hahaha yes water, very essential.
Describe your favorite go-to hairstyle for days when you don’t have a lot of time to style.
C: I simply comb, make a bump up and brush up. lol.
How do you combat shrinkage?
C: To combat shrinkage I just twist my hair into chunky twists all over my head to keep it stretched, or do a two-way weave down and twist at the tip.
What are some of your problem areas (if any) that require special care and attention?
C: Not much problem areas except its not always painfree to comb out and sometimes a little this and that and you get a knot. Lol. Regardless, I do have a very soft hair though.
What are 3 do’s for your texture?
C: The 3 do’s for my type of hair are water, Coconut Oil (makes it really Shiny) and shea butter.
What are 3 don’ts for your texture?
C: The 3 don’ts for my hair are Combing my hair from the root instead of combing from the tips, sleeping with my hair in its free state without weaving down or big twisting my hair and unnecessary hair products.
Is there a blog/webpage where we can find you?
C: Sure. I'll give you a few of them. You can find me on my Twitter: @Selinakc, Instagram: Soso Neya, Facebook: Soso Neya
