"I won't lie, negative comments gets to me." Mane matters with Linda Osuntade

Hello Naturalistas,

Welcome the lovely Linda :) Enjoy her interview. 

AN: Can you tell us who you are and what you do?

My name is Osuntade Linda, I'm a medical student.

AN: What's your thoughts about natural hair?

Natural hair to me is like having something beautiful which I hid away for a very long time. I dunno like having beautiful roses (with the thorns) but opting to flaunt plastic flowers instead cos they're " easier to maintain". I dunno if I'm making sense or if I even answered the question lol... 

AN: Why did you decide to go natural?

I went natural because I didn't like my relaxed hair. It was lifeless, scanty, breaking, you name it... I wanted thick rich natural hair. I did a lot of research and went for it.

AN: Did you do a BC or you transitioned?

I tried to transition but it didnt last (about 2 months), then I BCd

AN: Any fears about the BC?

I had no fears about BCing

The BC. Now we know your IG ID! 

AN: What has your experience been?

Its been great. I love my hair so much and treat it like a baby. I keep researching and researching, buying products, mixing concoctions lol.

AN: What was/is your biggest fear about going Natural?

My biggest fear is the discrimination. I love my hair but people always have something negative to say about it. I mostly hear. What is this? when will you make your hair? this is not a good hairstyle for a doctor... yada yada yada.

AN: Do you think you are in it for the long haul or is it just a phase?

I am in for the Long haul.

AN: Do you have any hair regimen you stick to?

I'm still learning about regimens but I'm into the LOC method in everything I do with my hair. I try to co wash every week, wash when I feel my hair is dirty or there's build up, I always wear my satin bonnet.
