Tell me, who is Alicia?
A wife, a mother, a sister, a singer, and a natural hair enthusiast. 🙂
What made you decide to go natural?
I decided to go natural, because my hair was badly damaged, and literally falling out of my head.
How long have you been natural?
I have been natural 3 years and four months, not including my 7 month transition.
What is your hair care Regime, and favorite Hair Care Products?
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Herbal Essence Shampoo and Conditioner
These are the only products I use on my hair
I co wash and do deep conditioning weekly when my hair is out. I shampoo at least 1-2 times a month.
I do my protein treatment once a month. Protective styling is a big part of my regimen. When I am wearing my two strands I moisturize every 2-3 days spraying the ends with water and sealing with oil or shea butter. I try to keep them in for 2-3 weeks.
What is your Hair Type?
4a/4b
Is there anything new you have discovered about yourself and your hair since going natural?
Well, I was definitely shocked to know that my hair could actually grow. Once I passed bra strap it was pretty crazy! 🙂

When did you first come to love music?
I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember!
Tell us what is your sound?
My music sounds like life, love, hurt, inspiration…. if you could hear it…..
I sing about anything that I’ve heard, saw, experienced. I sing about things that make you feel something, empowered, happy, sad. 🙂
If you could sum it all up for new naturals what advice would you give them?
I would say learn your own hair. There are so many different women out there with so many different types of hair. You have to really figure out what your hair likes and doesn’t like to have a successful journey. Also, do what makes you feel good!…some may like it, some may love, it and some may absolutely hate it!
