According to Merriam Webster’s definition, a mane is long and heavy hair on a person’s head. Me personally, I don’t think it has to be long and heavy. If you have hair growing from your head, then I consider this to be your mane. Chic (pronounced sheek) is defined as smart elegance and sophistication. With that being said,
Meet Mane Chic Gathia!!
How long have you been natural?
Hello, my name is Gathia Lewis. I have been natural for 8 months and counting! I love my hair and so excited about it's growth.
What is your goal for your natural hair?
My hair goal is to grow a massive fro! With that length comes many style possibilities.
How does your natural hair make you feel about yourself?
My hair makes me feel confident and proud of my genes and heritage with no regrets.
If you could go back and change anything about your natural hair journey, what would it be and why?
I would not change anything about my journey. I have loved the transition from month to month. I have enjoyed the trial and error of searching for products that my hair respond well to.
If you were to go on a hair product diet for 6 months (summer through fall) by not using more than 5 products on your hair, what products would be in your stash?
The top five products that I cannot live without at the moment are as follows: my Shea butter recipe, Miss Jessie's curly pudding, Cantu leave in conditioner (with added EVOO), and almond liquid castile soap.
What is your staple style? Give a quick tutorial on your staple style. If you have a picture your staple style include it as well.
My staple style would definitely be my fro with a flower or headband.
What is one product that you have found to have more than one use and you used it on your hair? For example, you look at the ingredients of your favorite body lotion and decide that it can be used as a great moisturizer for your hair.
Almond oil and almond castile liquid soap are the only products I use on my skin. I turned mental cartwheels when I found out that my hair loved it as well!!
What tips/advice do you have to share about natural hair?
My advice to share about natural hair is to follow advice from other naturals with the same or similar curl patterns and hair texture. I figured that out tons of products into my journey, but experience IS a good teacher!
If you had to choose one word to describe your mane, what would it be and why?
Thanks Gathia for sharing your Mane Chicness with us!
