MG Spotlight - Shereena

Q: Where are you from and how is the natural scene there?

A: I am currently living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and throughout the city there are a lot of people that are wearing their hair natural (Men, women, children etc.)

Q. How has your experience been with natural hair?

A: I have been wearing my hair natural for the last three years (since 2007). I started the transition and then about half way through I did the big chop. It was hard at first, but overall I had a lot of support.

Q. Did you have any support?

A. During my natural hair journey, I received lots of encouragement. When I got frustrated a group of friends started a group on Facebook to support me during the process. They provided me product suggestions and suggestions for natural hair websites. The group has been a great help to me!

Q: In your opinion, what has been some of the best things about having natural hair?

A: Really just having healthy hair and a moisturized scalp, which is both very important to me!

Q: What is your weekly hair routine?

A: I condition wash once per week and shampoo/condition once or twice per month. I use Kinky Curly products and Pantene Relaxed and Natural Moisturizng Conditioner and Shampoo.

Q: What advice would you give someone who was thinking of going natural?

A: You may get frustrated at the process but try to stay patient. Once you get used to working with your natural hair again, it is worth the wait and the work!
