Introduction

Iam Zena E. Glover, 28yrs old, brooklyn NY born and raised lol. I work for the government and I am also a makeup artist. I have been natural for most of my life. Unfortunately I begged my mother an father to allow me to perm my hair before high school and they did. So i had a perm first year of high school then throughout college and two years after then i went to my most favorite MY CEASER CUT!! and back to natural I went!

What or Who inspired you to go natural? Did you bc or transition? I inspired myself. I realized that eventhough my hair was health in all states of being permed it just wasnt me. I got no inspiration from it. No life no hauteness no fearlessness. I technically i went to the big chop my ceaser from a short permed hair style.

Top three products and prices.

Shea Moisture shampoo-moisture rententionor the Jamaican Castor oil shampoo-$12
Extra Virgin pure Coconut Oil $2.99
Infusium Moisture Conditioner $8
Only three 🙁

Fave go to hairstyle.

Well- i have a love affair with my natural curl pattern. I love to pick it out some making it more afro textured instead of soo curly. It gives it the height lol

If you had to give your hair a name what would it be?

Purple Giraffe lol well thats all of me but yes purple giraffe

If you hair is colored what do you use to do so?

Umm its a mixed secret lol. rinse with bleach under the rinse and professional permament color for the remainder lol

Sum up your natural hair journey in three words.
Courageous
loving
Awesome

Any advice to the natural newbies?

MOISTURE!!!! Dont listen to everything you hear not all advice is good and natural products are the best. Also find what works for you. The interesting thing about being natural is that not everything works for everyone. Its kind of like a science project with an objective, hypothesis, and conclusion. Try different things becasue everyone is different!
