What makes you a Curly Deviant?
I am a Curly Deviant because my personality shines through everything that I do from my hair down to my accessories! My personality is very bubbly. As a full figured woman, I exude confidence regardless of what im wearing or how my hair is.
How would you describe your style?
I tend to not follow fashion trends because most fashion is geared toward skinny women. As a full figured woman, I have to find items that accentuate my curves and highlight my best assets. I have a lot of random items in my closet that I can mismatch and place together to make the the perfect outfit. I have recently discovered that decorative scarves can really bring an outfit out. It is also a fun way to play with my locs and really open up my face. I love being creative with eye shadow and earrings!
How do you normally style your natural hair?
I have found that coloring my locs has really jazzed my hair up. I love the way they make my locs stand out. I love using bantu knots to achieve a curly set of hair and I love pinning them up in different ways. Bobby pins are a girl’s best friend. I look at my hair as another accessory to add to my overall style.
Do you have a daily regime? If so, what is it?
I try not to tamper with my hair so much when it comes to using products. I might spray some braid spray once every two days to help with the locing of my hair ; my locs are still young. I see my stylist once a month and she conditions it, trims and retwist it into cute styles.
What are your interests? Career?
I am currently in grad school obtaining my Masters of Arts in Teaching with a certification to teach Secondary English. I want to teach overseas for a couple of years and then return to the U.S to possibly obtain a Ph. D in Educational Leadership.
A Special Thank you to Alicia Smith Jr. for being Curly Deviant of the Week!
