Introduce yourself!
H: Holly Ann Clayton (Freedom). Freedom is my alter ego last name.
Why did you make the decision to go natural?
H: I’ve been natural my whole life. My mother didn’t wanna put that “creamy crack” in my hair.
How would you describe your texture?
H: My hair is a mixture between 3c and 4a, the majority of it is 3c. My hair behaves well when tamed lol and it’s ridiculously THICK!
Describe your styling regimen over the course of the month.
H: My hair regime varies. Most of the time you can catch my hair in a bun or a french twist just because I get lazy and they’re quick easy styles. My go to products are Aunt Jackie’s Knot on My Watch Instant Detangling Therapy, Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Edge Control, EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and Aunt Jackie’s Curl La La Defining Curl Custard.
What does wash day look like for you?
H: Lately I’ve been using the Shea Moisture line and unfortunately I’m finding their products to be a little drying to the hair. So I add a little extra virgin olive oil to the conditioner. I tend to co-wash most of the time. Once I feel like my hair has a lot of build up, I’ll pre-poo using the Shea Moisture line.
Describe your favorite go-to hairstyle for days when you don’t have a lot of time to style.
H: Go to style? Hands down “Ninja Bun”.
How do you combat shrinkage?
H: I really don’t have too much shrinkage, so I embrace it!
What are some of your problem areas (if any) that require special care and attention?
H: Areas that I used to have to pay a lot of attention to were the nape of my neck. Now that is shaved off. I find the back of my hair to be a little dry though, so I make sure to keep that area extra moisturized.
What are 2 do’s for your texture?
H: Do two strand twist.
What are 2 don’ts for your texture?
H: Don’t sleep without a bonnet and/or a silk scarf.
Is there a blog/webpage where we can find you?
H: Tumblr: hollyannsoul.tumblr.com

Pretty hair petty girl. Go Pats!
Lol thanks! R.i.p Aaron Hernandez
One day on tumblr about a year ago I saw that photo of your silhouette while leaned against blue ceramic tile!!! I thought it was absolutely gawgeous!
Me TOO!! Dare I say.…..Tutorial!?
Me three! OMG! OMG! OMG!
I remember that picture from years ago and I’ve always wanted to see a full picture of the style. Would you ever consider doing a tutorial? Oh, pretty please! I’m so happy you were finally featured.
Also, the shaved nape — gorgeous!
p.s. If you do decide on the hair tutorial, might as well toss in the eyebrow and make-up tutorial too.
I’m saying! Sharing the wealth is good for us all! lol
Awww man thank you so much ladies yeah I honestly didn’t think anyone would like that up do as much as they did. It was such an easy style. I’m thinking about creating a YT account simply b/c I’ve gotten so many request on that particular style.
So pretty! All that hair…and the cut! Love it all!
Agree, I love her hair!!
Thank you! ????
Gorgeous!!
Wow! So you’re the one in the pic with the blue tile?!I always wondered who that was.. I love your hairstyle in the pic.. its so hot 🙂
Her hairstyles are so cute. I wish she gave more information on her styling regime though. I want to know how she achieved those gorgeous curls.
Which curls are you referring to? 9 times out of ten it’s either 2 strand twist Bantu knots or flexirods.
She has sooo much hair — the style is nice but does it require that length to recreate it?
No it actually doesn’t the key to that style is bobby pins.
Love it!!
wow beautiful girl! do you blow dry your hair to do your twists outs? (i assumed it was twists outs)
No I typically do it on damp hair b/c it drys a lot quicker.
America’s Top Model!
Thanks hopefully one day.
what a pretty girl and her haiiiiiiirrr <3 🙂
Gracia!
Gorgeous hair on a gorgeous girl!
Miss HOLLY!!!!! You are FAB! But seriously tho, can us fellow natural sistas get a tutorial on the hairstyle with you leaning on the blue tile?! Please share lol!
Just for you yes I promise !
Yay!!!! Can’t wait!
That haircut in the back is fierce! And she’s from Boston? I may need her as a hair buddy to help me tame my crazy kinks lol. Plus she’s pretty.
Gorgeous lady and that updo with her leaning on the blue tile is so elegant and classic. In one of the photos she reminds me of Jodi Watley. Anyways, please get a Youtube channel going.…makeup and hair and whatever you choose to share.
Beautiful hair young lady!
