A: When I first started blogging that was my original screen name. I wanted to change the name of my blog to something more fitting. I tend to talk a lot about my coily hair and colorful things like make-up, my nails, clothes, and my crochet projects. Thus, I changed the blog's name to Colors And Coils.

Q: Do you miss relaxing your hair?
A: No, I do not! I don’t feel like dealing with chemicals and what they can to me (for example, being worried about scratching my hair or having scabs on my hair from the chemicals burning me). If I want my hair straight, I will just flat iron it or use weaves and wigs to achieve the look.
Q: What did your hair look like before you start relaxing it and before it got damaged?
A: It looked like this:

| This is how my hair looked around 1989 when I was not using relaxers. I am striving to look like this again–and possibly grow my hair longer than this. |
Q: What is your hair length goal?
A: I want my hair to be armpit length. Once I achieve APL it will be the shortest I plan on ever letting my hair be again. I might let it grow longer than that just to see how much growth I can retain.
