    When did you go natural?
    I went natural in November 2010
    
    
    What prompted you to go natural?
     I wanted to go natural because I have always dreaded getting a relaxer and I didn't want to put my self through it anymore. I started noticing a lot of women wearing natural hair and it motivated me to do it.

    Did you big chop? Why or why not?
    I did do the big chop because once I stopped relaxing my hair it became very damaged and started to break off. It was like my hair needed the chemicals to survive. I had no other choice but to cut off the relaxed hair. (I was not happy. I was very self conscious about having short hair)

    What is your regimen? 
     I don't really have a regimen. I wash my hair twice a week. After I wash it with Cantu shampoo &  conditioner I comb through Kinky Curly Custard (section by section). I let it dry and  my curls usually last 3 days. In the  mornings I spray it with twisted sistah to kind of fluff the curls and I use Eco gel around my edges. I sleep in a silk bonnet.
    
    
    
    What is your favorite thing about being natural?
    My favorite thing about being natural is not having to sit though getting a relaxer and having my scalp burning and itching.

    Who is your celebrity hair crush? Why
     I don't have a celebrity hair crush that I know of because most of them wear weave. 
    
    Who is your regular hair crush?
    My favorite hair crush would be Crystal Colón (Crystal from Crystal's Curls & Q's because her hair is long, thick, n curly. It looks really healthy. I can't wait to have my length back
    
    
    
    Thanks Trenell for sharing your journey with us.  Your length will be back in no time.
    Thanks for the compliment on my hair. I appreciate it so much.
    I love you girl, thanks for allowing me to feature you.
