Please introduce Yourself!

How long have you been natural? Did you big chop or transition?
I
began my natural hair journey back in 1998. I stopped relaxing for 6
months before doing the big chop. It was the first time my hair was so
short and I loved it! After a few months, I began texturizing my hair
because I didn’t know what else to do with it. I wasn’t happy with the
texturizer and big chopped a second time. I started blow-drying and flat
ironing my hair. My hair became straight and thin from all the heat so I
big chopped a third time in June 2006. This was my last big chop and
I’ve only straightened my hair a handful of times.
Tell us about Wonder Curl.
Wonder
Curl is a line of natural hair products created with the needs of our
natural curly hair in mind. Our hair tends to be dryer and not always
have defintion or shine. The products deliver definition, softness and
shine without weighing the hair down or making it feel greasy. It was
paramount that Wonder Curl products work with all textures, helping each
individual to achieve their desired style with minimum effort and
maximum results.
What inspired the name Wonder Curl?
I
was brainstorming different names for a website and Wonder Curl sounded
so much fun to me. After I bought the domain name, a friend of mine out
of the blue called me a ‘wonder curl’ I knew at that point that it was
the right name.
There are many product lines that claim to benefit “natural” or curly hair. What makes Wonder Curl different?
Wonder
Curl products only uses ingredients that serves a purpose, whether it’s
to strengthen the hair like Virgin Organic Coconut oil or nourish the
hair like Neem oil. Since I use the products in my hair, I want my hair
to not only look & feel great, but to also grow as strong as
possible. The products are also versatile meaning you can use them to
achieve any style you’re going for whether it’s a twist out or a
wash-n-go and they work great for all textures.
What’s in the future for Wonder Curl?
Right
now, Wonder Curl is available in 5 different countries and I’m looking
to expand and make Wonder Curl even more accessible to curlies
everywhere!
What advice do you have for transitioners, those who are curious about
natural hair, or those having difficulty embracing their natural hair?
Using
Wonder Curl products helps take the guess work out of what products to
use because they all work well in any hair type. If you’re
transitioning, the products will help you achieve the styles to keep
your hair strong while maintaining a uniform look.
