What challenges did you face along the way?
"The first few months were rough. My hair started growing out, and the roots were thick and curly, but my ends were so stringy. So, I was walking around with two-textured hair and trying to make it look neat. I’d just pull it back in a ponytail, which I hate. Then, one day, I realized I could get my hair straightened with a roller set, so that the textures would somewhat match. So, instead of transitioning with curly styles, I wore my hair straight while my curls grew in." What are your go-to products?
"I’m trying Miss Jessie’s Super Sweetback Treatment. It’s really thick and helps me detangle in the shower. And for beginners, I really recommend Kinky Curly Curling Custard. Some people say it makes their curls too crunchy, but it gives the best definition, and if you fluff your hair after it dries, the crunch goes away."

What’s the best trick you’ve learned?
"Deep condition as much as you can. And if you find a product you like, take it to the salon with you, so your routine is consistent. I use Carol’s Daughter Monoi Repairing Hair Mask."
