FAQ
The blog is always a work in progress but here are a few FAQ that I’ve already written articles about. Feel free to ask/email me any more questions or article requests at kcurly@newlynatural.com.
Kcurly, what’s your hair type?
I don’t put a whole lot of store into the whole hair typing thing. I could never figure it out, because our hair seems to diverse to just lump into several groups. If I have to claim something, I will claim 4a with a small amount of 3c and 4b.
My hair is dry and hard. Should I use a texture softener to make it more manageable?
What can I do about dry hair?
What can I do to protect my hair at night?
Having trouble keeping your hair protected at night?
What are the biggest mistakes people make when going natural?
What if I don’t have the money to spend on online products?
Are silicones bad for my hair?
Maybe. It all seems to be based on the individual. I am not a silicone user because my hair does not react well to them. It dries my hair out and makes it feel yucky. Some people can use silicone laden products all day long and be fine. It’s not up to me to tell you to use or not use silicones. It’s up to you to experiment and see what works for your hair!
Kcurly, I see that you review a lot of products. Now that I am natural do I have to use the same kind of products?
Absolutely not. You may very well have a totally different set of products (or make your own products) and that might suit you. I just review them for fun mostly. I love trying out new products and my readers reap the benefits of my PJ (product junkie) tendencies!
Is it possible that I have more than one hair type on my head?
Why did you decide to go natural, Kcurly?
I have always had long relaxed hair. How do you come to terms with feeling “like a boy” after the BC?
Kcurly, my forehead is just too big for me to BC!
High Foreheads-Don’t be “skurred”
Kcurly, I feel too self conscious about my weight to BC!
I am a vendor and would like you to review my product or I would like to host a giveaway. How do I go about doing this?
You can email me at kcurly@newlynatural.com for shipping info. I am happy to try out products and accessories. However, I will be completely honest in my reviews as I have a duty to my readers to do so.
You may contact me if you want your business featured on the blog,though I can not garuntee that it will be featured.
If you’d like to sponsor a giveaway, I will be happy to do so. I’d prefer for you do the shipping directly to the winner/s.
Kcurly, can I know more about your personal life?
I am so surprised about how much people want to know about my non-hair life LOL. Well, I’m a mother and a wife. My son is 3 years old and a handful. I’m a nurse for the neonatal population. I run, swim, bike, strength train, and enter races when I can (if you’re interested you can read my fitness blog www.runninginafatsuit.com/blog).
I love to read, scrapbook, and watch movies. I also like to help in the community when I can.

Hello,
I’m ‘newly natural’ and I’d like to know the best way to get rid of that white residue that most gels/curling products seem to leave behind when I attempt to do my curly wash & go’s? I’m enjoying my TWA so far, and my curly wash & go’s have been going very well, aside from this white residue problem of mine. Please help!
Thank you!
Aja, sometimes two products just don’t get along. Try using different product combination. I know I’ll get the white balls bad if I leave in my regular conditioner and then use a gel.
I need some help. I have worn my hair natural before, but now I have chosen to wear it natural because perms do not last more than 3 weeks. Of course I know I cannot perm my hair that often, but my natural hair is a straight up mess!!!! I believe some of my problem is the medication I’m on. How can I wear my hair natural and look neat and professional?
Thanks!!!
Michelle
Newly BC. Any help with thinning hair or thin edges? Thanks
