Naturally Fierce Feature: Nia

1. Tell me a little about yourself and your hair journey. (Name, where you’re from, etc)
My name is Nia Walker and I’m from Maryland. I started my natural hair journey in 2009. My last relaxer was when my little sister got married.

2. What motivated you to go back to natural?
Nothing really motivated me. I stopped getting relaxers because in 2008, I started menopuase because of cancer. It caused me to have terrible night sweats and I was needing a relaxer every 2 months instead of every 3.

3. How would you describe your hair?
My hair is very soft, but my curls are tight. Yes, my shrinkage is very real! lol

4. What do you love most about your hair?
I love that I can create any style and just being able to go from curly to straight. And to think when I was younger I didn’t like my hair…

5. What has been the most memorable part of the journey?
Through my journey I’ve gotten all of my friends, clients, and family members to go natural as well.

6. What are your favorite hairstyles?
Cutting my hair into bob styles as it grew out and creating my own U part wigs.

7. Any memorable reactions from others?
Everyone loves my hair! People are always telling me I need to do videos or start my very own blog for hair tips.

8. What is your hair regimen?
I wash every Friday and 2 strand twist. The next day I take it out and its very short so every night I twist it dry so it becomes longer.
