Mane Chic Deana

According to Merriam Webster’s definition, a mane is long and heavy hair on a person’s head. 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 Deana!

How long have you been natural?
I have been natural for almost six months (Big chop was on March 12, 2010) I wore weaves for a long time and continuously got relaxers. My hair started to break off and was really damaged, so I decided I needed a change.

What is your goal for your natural hair?
I just want my hair to remain in a healthy state and to get more vibrant and beautiful as I continue my journey.

How does your natural hair make you feel about yourself?
It makes me feel exotic and beautiful for my hair to be natural.

If you could go back and change anything about your natural hair journey, what would it be and why?
I’m still kinda early in my natural journey, but if I would have to say anything that I would change it would be that when I first got my big chop I wore a wig for 2 months because I wanted to grow my hair out a little bit more. I wish I would have had the courage to wear my twa earlier because it really was beautiful.

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?
1. AfroVeda Shea Amla Butter 2. Extra Virgin Olive Oil 3. Organic Root Stimulator Replenishing Conditioner 4. HollyWood Beauty Castor Oil with Mink Oil and 5. Water because it is essential for your hair.

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.
Twist Outs/ Side Twist with a frohawk. It looks really good plus I get so many compliments regarding the style no matter how many times I do it.

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.
AfroVeda Shea Amla Butter is also really good for your skin for moisture.

What tips/advice do you have to share about natural hair?
