Introduce yourself!
O:
Hey guys! Iโ€™m Olivia and Iโ€™m just an 18 year old girl waiting to finish high school so I can move up north away from Florida. ๐Ÿ™‚ 

How long have you been natural?
O:
Iโ€™ve been natural all my life until 3 years ago when I texturized my hair and lost a lot of length, biggest mistake of my life.

How and why did you transition into natural hair?
O:
I saw the damage that texturizing and heat did to my hair and I just decided to take care of my hair. I didnโ€™t do a big chop or anything but when my natural hair grew out on top of the lifeless texturized hair I just trimmed it until it was all gone. That process took about a year.

What are your must-have products for shampooing, conditioning and styling your hair?
O:
I canโ€™t go without my shea butter and Taliah Waajid Leave in. I love both products and can never do without since Iโ€™m a big fan of twist outs! Also I buy all Taliah Waajid shampoo and conditioner and for gel I use 100% Aloe Vera gel. Thereโ€™s no flaking and it works well with my hair ๐Ÿ™‚

What is your signature hairstyle?
O:
Iโ€™d say a big bun with a turban or scarf. I always wear it on a lazy day or when Iโ€™m just not up to doing my hair because itโ€™s easy and itโ€™s easy on the hair!

Did going natural affect your style choices at all?
O:
It did for a while. I was so used to straight hair that I thought wearing certain things didnโ€™t look as good with my big poof, but now I wear anything. I mean with growing up in general my style has changed from regular tโ€‘shirts and jeans to high waist shorts, jewelry, leggings, ect.

What are the three favorite things in your closet?
O:
Oh mann, one would be my leopard scarf! Itโ€™s the first scarf I bought and I just love leopard haha. Two would be my high waist shorts. I love them! They make your waist look super tiny and since Iโ€™m 5โ€ฒ2โ€ณ it helps lengthen my legs! My third would have to be my big hoop earrings. With a protective style, youโ€™ll always see me in big hoops just because I think theyโ€™re so feminine <3.

How would you describe your personal style?
O:
I think itโ€™s a variation of a lot of things but Iโ€™d say itโ€™s mostly cute and comfortable mostly. I love to throw on tight shorts and a top and wear a big jacket. I love high waist shorts and jeans and Iโ€™m hardly ever in a dress. Iโ€™m such a laid back individual so I think it mostly reflects on my personality :).

Is there a blog/webpage where we can find you?
O:
Sure thing! Itโ€™s Olivianoell.blogspot.com and thanks so much for featuring me :).
