Natural Hair Speaks- Interview of the Day- Wash n Go Hair

Photos submitted by Margaret D. of Illinois

I spotted this naturally curly haired woman at my typical hangout, a place where my children frequent.  Her beautiful curly hair made her stand out in a crowd.  Her curls are simply gorgeous.  I asked a few questions and here's the 411.

Barbaranaturallyspeaking:  Can you tell me how you get your curls so defined?  What do you do?

Margaret: When I wear my hair down I usually wet it, put pink oil moisturizer in it, and then put moose in it to hold my curls. 

Barbaranaturallyspeaking:  Have you ever had a perm?

Margaret:  I got a perm once in my life when I was 16 (27 now) and it was because I was in a pageant. I never got one again because I didn't like it. My curls went away for a lil while  and I hated that, and til this day there's one spot in my head that's not as curly as the rest.

Barbaranaturallyspeaking:  I'm glad that your curls let you know that they enjoyed being natural.  Your curls are beautiful, well-defined, and naturally you.  

Margaret:  Thanks!

Ok, I feel like I'm destined to give mousse a try.  I remember when my hair was relaxed I actually washed my hair and applied mousse.  I let my hair airdry and it actually looked like I had loose waves, similar to the way that it looks now before my curls shrink.  I haven't tried using mousse as a curl definer since going completely natural, however Margaret's hair makes me want to give it a try.  Hum-  I'm adding it to my to do list.  In the meantime, I'm going to wash out the henna that I applied 2 hours ago.  Enjoy the memorial day holiday weekend curlies!
