Heidi is a busy, ambitious college student and soon to be member of the Peace Corps but that doesn't stop her from finding time to express her eclectic style.
KiK: What is your favorite natural hairstyle and why?
Heidi: A hybrid between an up-do, and a mohawk. lol. It shows my eccentricity*
KiK: What products do you use to achieve it? Heidi: h20 & Jane Carter Solutions
KiK: Do you have a style icon or inspiration?
Heidi: Yaya from Top Model peaked my natural interest... lol...then jade.I love that that she never compromised, despite whatever drastic makeover they planned for her, (red carpet, photshoots etc..) She was strong about maintaining her afrocentricity.
KiK: What do you want people to know about being natural?
Heidi: That I think our hair should be CELEBRATED. Not pressed, permed or altered to look like anyone else's. It's been imprinted in our minds that curls & kinks are unappealing--but its not true, our hair is beautiful, because its rare--and we shouldn't strain to make it look like the common.
