Well, this beautiful woman I have known for quite some time.  Over these past few years I just kept seeing this glow about her and soon thereafter discovered that she was loving on her natural hair. Yayyyy!!!  Her style of choice is not a twist-out, 'fro or any other naturalista favorite.  She wears a little something else.  Let me just tell you...that little something else looks good!

Let's meet our Queen of the Week - Teanesha Washington!

Who does your hair?

My stylist is actually my cousin.  Her name is Teresa Terry and she currently has a storefront called “From Her Head to Yours: Virgin Hair Boutique” which is located at 217 E. Clay Street, Richmond, VA.  Her number is (804) 716-1468.  She’s the certifiable BOMB!!!  PLEASE check her out!

What are your three favorite products and why?

Hands down, the one product that gets the most use in my hair care regimen is virgin coconut oil!  Since winning it in last year’s All Tressed Up blogoversary drawing I have been totally addicted.  My family and I use it on our hair, our skin and even in our bath water.  Being natural for the past 4 years it seems to be one of the only products that keeps my hair shiny, moisturized and soft (I have super kinky type 4C hair) and in my opinion has helped tremendously with growth retention.

Some time ago, we tweeted letting our followers know that we would love to feature their natural hair story.  Well, this NATURALbella_ responded and let me just tell you that her hair routine is full of natural hair vocabulary and acronyms.  Get ready!  Let's meet NATURALbella_!

Who does your hair?

Since my BC 14yrs ago, I along with my stylist and sista-friend, Renee are responsible for the daily care & up keep of my tresses. Usually I visit the salon 2x/month, but I've developed my own hair regimen, which allows me to care for & maintain my hair on my own successfully!

What are your three favorite products and why?

Mmmm three favorite products, that's hard because I'm a fan of great hair products however recently my hair has developed a love affair w/ Shea-Butter. I currently use a homemade Shea-Butter mix I adapted w/ the help of @Nap85 and my hair loves it and has responded so well to it! JBCO (Jamaican Black Castor Oil) is another favorite, it has really thicken my new growth at my edges & nape. I've always had thick hair but I see great improvement since I've experienced some damage to those areas :( . Oils are staples w/ my daily regimen & another staple is Coconut Oil not only does it make my hair smell amazing, but it gives my hair such natural sheen & seals in moisture.  (Side Note- I use either Vatika brand or Whole Foods 360 brand).
