· What is your name and where are you from?
Halima Bepo. I’m from Nigeria
· How long have you been natural or transitioned
I have been natural since 2007.
· Tell us a little bit about yourself and where you are in your life
Madam this is a difficult question o. I’m a Management and logistics graduate (wears educated woman badge lol). I’m a professional make-up artist and youth corper. I love watching documentaries (it’s the only time I watch TV). I love travelling and spending a lot of time with my family.
· Why did you decide to go natural?
I went natural for one reason….my hair / scalp could not stand a relaxer #fullstop.
· What are some of your favorite Hair products
I love Giovanni’s tea tree peppermint shampoo, desert essence coconut conditioner (smells so yummy), and I’m a big fan of ayurvedic herbs like: Amla powder, Tulsi powder, Brahmi powder etc. Sapote oil , oyinhandmade juices and berries leave in spray and burnt sugar pomade.
· What is your current hair regimen
I wash weekly now because it’s the only way I can handle my dry scalp.
Shampoo: Giovanni tea tree peppermint shampoo 2x
Condition: desert essence coconut conditioner or Giovanni deep moisture conditioner.
Moisturize: Oyinhandmade-burnt sugar pomade on both scalp and hair
Daily routine: spray oyinhandmade juices and berries, finger comb and put in a bun ( I wear a scarf 98% of the time so my hair is hardly styled) .
· What is the toughest challenge you have had to face with your natural hair?
My toughest challenge would have to be the length of my hair. I have never been a fan of my hair long and I get scissor happy. I have to cut my hair every 3 months because it becomes too hard and time consuming to wash. But so far I have not cut my hair since MAY because I’m trying to win the gift my mum promised me if I do not cut my hair for a year #phew.
· Do you foresee any changes to your hair?
At the moment none, I’m very simple when it comes to my hair and Bella Joya knows that. I will leave the funky cute hair for her.
· Words of advice for natural out there.
Keep it simple…the natural hair community
is growing at an alarming rate and everyone is coming out with different lotion and potions. Keeping it simple makes the journey simple, understand your hair and learn to work with it. We are all individuals never compare your hair to another lady’s hair.
