Healthy Hair Icon: Clare!

1. What city can we find you twirling your hair? NYC!

2. Favorite food? Carbs and candy. If it falls in that category, it is my favorite :)

3. Relaxed or natural? Relaxed!

4. How do you keep your hair looking fly? What's your hair care regimen?
I have learned that leaving my hair alone is best so I do not do a lot of crazy things to my hair. However, every time I wash I always deep condition for at least 30 minutes (I just use drugstore shampoos) I have been trying to air dry more but when I don't air dry, I blow dry and flat iron. In between washes I use conditioners like Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave-in and Moroccan Oil. I ONLY use heat on my hair once a week. No exceptions. No "touch ups" with a flat iron, I just let it be. Then at night I tie it up in a scarf. I do not wrap it, I just twist it & tuck it in the scarf.

5. What's the craziest thing you've ever done to your hair? Oh gosh WHERE do I begin?? I used to curl my hair every day, multiple times a day. I used to brush it vigorously and wrap it tightly every night, I used to relax every 4 weeks. Gosh I used to DESTROY my hair. It would literally break in my hand it was so damaged. It is truly a miracle I have hair.

6. What are your fave hair products? Natural oils and anything light that doesn't weigh down my hair! I love Moroccan Oil and light leave ins. I used to use heavy moisture creams on my hair but now I only use light moisturizers and I never moisturize my scalp directly.

7. What is the hair product, tool, or accessory that you absolutely can not live without? Probably my flat iron. I like how it smooths and shines my hair. But I try not to use it often.

8. Favorite hairstyle? The top knot

9.What's your favorite color? Pink -- or black

10. The best season for your hair is summer because it is a season for wild hair... and my hair is ALWAYS wild

11. The worst season for your hair is winter because my hair is naturally VERY dry and requires a lot of pampering. The cold hair and constantly taking hats on and off makes my hair break.

12. 3 words that describe your hair's personality. Crazy, traditional, dense haha

13. The best thing about my hair is the color, it has lots of pretty natural highlights.
