WHO: Tonya Thompson and Sharie Wilson,

What curl pattern, porosity, and elasticity do you have?

TT: I have 3b/3c curl type, medium porosity, and high elasticity.

What tip do you swear by for building a curly hair routine? 

SW + TT: The key to achieving any hair routine starts with a healthy scalp. When your scalp is clean and free of any buildup, including dandruff, natural oils, and excessive amounts of product, for example, it leaves a fresh canvas to style your hair as desired. To create the perfect routine for curly hair, it is vital to make sure your hair is moisturized so that your curls are hydrated, minimizing breakage and damage. 

What curly hairstyle do you swear by? 

SW: My go-to protective style is braids, but I love embracing my natural curls with a quick wash-and-go when I’m taking a break from my protective styles.

TT: My go-to is a nice, neat ponytail, but I’ve been playing with my natural curl pattern and wearing it freely a lot more lately.
