Is there anywhere we can find you? Youtube, twitter, facebook, blog?
You can find me primarily at www.LoveBrownSugar.com. I’m also a social media addict so I tweet at Twitter.com/LoveBrownSugar and post updates to my Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/LoveBrownSugar/265959727218
I’m slowly getting into the Youtube thing. I want to start tutorials soon, but right now it’s mostly my celebrity interviews from fashion week and beyond: Youtube.com/LoveBrownSugarTV
Tell me a little about your hair journey–when did you get your first relaxer? What inspired you to big chop, etc.
I got my first kiddie relaxer when I was in 2nd grade. I remember because I came into school the next day bouncing and smiling because I could shake my hair around like the girls on the Just For Me commercials. And I maintained relaxed hair all the way up until my senior year in high school. After my senior prom I had severe damage to my strands from wearing weaves and extensions, so I decided (since I was going to college and wouldn’t have the $ to maintain a relaxer) I would just grow it out. So I did and I stayed natural for all 4 years. Until I graduated and became part of the “grown up” world, working in Corporate America and scared I might not fit i with curls. So I relaxed again, and less than weeks later I regret it. And so in November 2010, I decided to Big Chop for the second time. I’m convinced this will be my last!
Thanks for the shout out! 🙂
