5 My love for hair goes deep. I can talk about hair all day. Giving tips and helping others give me pure joy

6 I started my own hair journey in 2011 after I destroyed my hair. Relaxing & using bleach on my hair was not a great combination
7 I have been relaxing my hair since elementary school. I don’t know how my natural hair looks like

15 but one product that for ever will be in my routine is ORS Replenishing Conditioner

 

16 I am a ambivert, but I cling more to the introvert side. Love to socialize, but I enjoy my alone time way more
17 I work fulltime as a recruiter, but also braid hair on the side
18 my positive trait is that I am a natural cheerleader. I love to see others wins
19 my toxtic trait is that I don’t always speak up when I really need to
