This week, I am highlighting the beautiful curly haired people I am lucky to have in my life. I decided to ask some of my friends to do the #CurlyHairTag that has been popular for beauty channels in recent years on YouTube. I have 7 standard questions that will hopefully help you to see the diversity in curly hair and experiences.
- What inspired you to go natural or wear ur hair natural?
- If you could only have one product for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
- What would you change about your hair/curl pattern?
- How did you feel about your hair growing up?
- Secret ingredients that are the best for your hair?
- What are your favorite combinations of products for your natural hair routine?
- What is your go to hairstyle when in a rush?

– I have just always been natural my entire life.
-If I could only have one product it would be a leave in conditioner because twists are my go to style.
-I have always liked my hair, so I wouldn’t change it.
-Growing up I just always got my hair braided so I didn’t really think about it. When it was out, I wore puffs and people called me Mickey Mouse
– Favorite combination is definitely the water and gel so I can just put my hair up quickly.
-My go to hair style is putting my har in twists and pairing it with a hat.

-What inspired me to start wearing my hair more natural was watching Youtube videos from curly hair influencers like Azlia Williams. Seeing other girls comfortable like that and confident made me want to give it a try.
-If I could have only have one product for the rest of my life I’d for sure want it to be the Mielle Curling Custard.
– I’d change my curls in the front. The curls right there are tighter than the ones in the back. Overall I wish my curls were looser similar to 3b type.
-Growing up I hated my curls because I didn’t understand how to manage them and the little girls around me had perfectly straight hair so I began to want that as well.
– Anything with Argan or Moroccan oil makes my curls feel super moisturized and look super good.
– My favorite combination is applying the Mielle Curling Custard and then Coconut Curls Moisturizing Mousse.
– My go to when my curls are acting up so it causes me to be in a rush is a slick back into a low ponytail or bun. Now if I was running late because I woke up late, I’d most likely do a high bun with laid edges.

-No, I have not always worn my hair curly. I started to wear it curly in about 10th or 11th grade
-I would probably use Deva Curl Ultra Defining Gel because it always makes my curls look bouncy
-I wish my curls were less frizzy, I feel like my hair needs more hydration
-I hated it and always felt like the only thing i could do was straighten it
-I use Shea Moisturizer and then crunch deva curl ultra defining gel in my hair with my head flipped. I then crunch it with a microfiber towel and use a defuser to dry it.
-Curl cream and gel
-My to go hairstyle when im in a rush is a pony tail or bun
