This eclectic Queen was spotted at 'Fro Fashion Week. She was one of the attendees in the Korporate Kinks workshop and actually won a free 'do on All Tressed Up. Prior to getting her coils, she was rocking her TWA in a massively cute way with a nice deep red hue and she was rocking a wooden flower on the side.
While twirling the comb, we had some interesting conversation and that is when I learned that this woman is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. And get this...that flower she was rocking originated from a necklace that had actually broken. Now, that's my type of girl right there!
Let's meet our most recent Queen of the Week - Constance also known as Connie.
Who does your hair?
Right now its just me, myself, and I. My cousin lets me know if its a hit or miss when it comes to styling it.
What are your three favorite products? Why?
- Wen Cleansing Conditioner
...My 1st 30 Day supply came in Sweet Mint which scents the whole upstairs when I use it --- My hair feels great when its on and feels great when I rise it out. The light tingle gives me a clean feeling too.
- Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Edge Control
--- It's great for laying down fly always and makes my afro's that much neater.
- Hawaiian Silky Miracle Worker 14 in 1
--- I love how soft this keeps my hair throughout the day. I like it better than just water when refreshing my hair because my fro shrinks less.
Please describe your hair routine.
My routine is to wash about once a week, special treatment comes in when I use too much product trying new styles and that will call for a wash the day after. After using Wen, I towel dry a bit and apply Eco Styler Olive Oil Styling Gel and work it in. If for the rest of the week I'm just puffin it up for work I just sprits water add my 14-1 and work that in. Band it, throw in some crazy flowers and I'm ready to tackle the day. If my edges don't feel like laying down I grab my Edge Control and smooth some on and then add the band. I also use the Edge Control to help with keeping my flat twists neat.
Other than that I'm still on the hunt for cute styles for my short hair. I tried repeating the comb twists that I won with Kenyada, but I have yet to hone in the virtue of patience with myself. They definitely haven't looked like they're supposed to.
What is your favorite quote of the moment?
I have 2. LoL
"Live, Laugh, Love" and "Vision without action is a daydream. Action with without vision is a nightmare." -Japanese Proverb
How does it feel to be selected as the All Tressed Up Queen of the Week?
It feels amazing to be selected as the Queen of the Week. I am TRULY HONORED. I'm also in love with crowns and I consider myself an African Queen and in my dreams it comes with land and a hunk of a King next to me. LOL. This is something I would never imagined to be asked to do and it came from taking a step in a new direction for me and embracing myself and the Hair God gave me...whoda thunk it. :)
Is there anything you would like to promote or share with the world?
"I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well." Psalm 139.14.
I am still learning to LOVE ALL of Me. Don't doubt You. Embrace Yourself and take care of You...but with everything measure...don't let Ego take over. :)
