KiK: Why do you love your hair?

Morgan: I love my hair because it is apart of me. And I love me. Hair is beautiful and appealing, but at the end of the day it's just hair. In the large scheme of things, I realized I did not need to change my hair texture, burning my scalp every 6-8 weeks to change a part of me. My hair is beautiful straight but it is more beautiful kinky.

KiK: What's your hair regimen?

Morgan: When I am not being lazy I follow this regimen once a week.

• Shampoo with Yes To Carrots shampoo
• DIY deep condition with Yes to Carrots conditioner, honey, olive oil and castor oil
• Use Oyin Handmade's Honey Hemp Conditioner as a leave-in,
• Part my hair into 8 sections
• Detangle
• Two strand twist with Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie

I normally wear my hair in either a twist out or a styled two strand twist up-do. 

KiK: And your favourite products?

Morgan: I'm really into using organic and natural products on my hair. My favorite products would have to be Oyin Handmade's Honey Hemp Conditioner, Yes To Carrots Conditioner, Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie, and Olive Oil. Oyin and Yes to Carrots conditioners are extremely moisturizing. Out of the two, Oyin's is my absolute favorite. It is multi-purpose and therefore I  use it as a conditioner and detangler. The comb glides right through my hair when I use this prior to detangling.

KiK: What would you say to someone who thinks that natural hair is too hard to handle?

Morgan:  Are you afraid of a challenge? Yes natural hair can be challenging at times but so can relaxed hair. Deciding to go natural is about discovering things about yourself and your hair. I guarantee you will prefer taking care of your own hair more than sitting in a salon for four hours.
