What do you love most about your hair?

Kendra: Versatility! I love the fact that I can wear my hair curly or straight and not have to worry about getting a relaxer to straighten it.

What has been the most memorable part of your journey?Has it been easy or difficult or both?!

Kelsey & Kendra: We never really looked at it as a journey but instead a “New Hair Lifestyle”. We’ve never even took any before or after photos to track our transitioning progress. At first it was difficult transitioning because of the stringy ends but when we saw our curl pattern coming in we both were very excited.

What is your hair regimen (including fav products)?

Kelsey & Kendra: We experiment with different types of curly hair products; especially the ones that have all natural ingredients. We “LOVE” and promote all Curls products and are Brand Ambassadors. Also, we get sooooo many requests from our subscribers to do reviews on other curly hair products as well. We feel we owe that to them since they are the reason we exist and our subscribers like to see us switch it up a bit to see the outcome from our reviews to see if they want to purchase.
