I'm on Facebook & Twitter: http://facebook.com/ShidaNatural http://twitter.com/ShidaNatural Hi, my name is RASHIDA a.k.a. ShidaNatural. I am a trained Cosmetologist, but I do not consider myself a hairdresser. I consider myself more of a "Natural Hair Care & Styling Consultant." I am constantly educating myself on naturally curly, kinky, coily hair, natural hair health & products that make our natural hair thrive. Everywhere I go, I get asked about my hair and what I do to get it to look like that... and if they don't ask, they just stare (probably wondering what others verbally ask). I love getting asked about my hair because I can't wait to respond and share information about my natural hair care routine. I find great pleasure in helping people get through their "Natural Hair Journey" without the frustrations of having dry, brittle, unmanageable natural hair that is prone to breakage & split ends (if not given special care & treatment DAILY)... "Good Hair is Healthy Hair" ***IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN KNOWING HOW MY NATURAL HAIR CONSULTATION BUSINESS WORKS OR WOULD LIKE TO SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION APPOINTMENT, SEND AN EMAIL TO: CurlsKinksCoils.Rashida@yahoo.com AND, WITHIN ONE DAY, I WILL EMAIL YOU INFORMATION ON "CURLS-KINKS-COILS NATURAL HAIR CARE & STYLING CONSULTING". ***I AM A NATURAL HAIR PRODUCT RETAILER AND MOST OF THE PRODUCTS YOU SEE ME USING OR REVIEWING IN SOME OF MY VIDEOS CAN BE PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM ME. IF INTERESTED IN PURCHASING HAIR PRODUCTS, SEND AN EMAIL TO: CurlsKinksCoils.Rashida@yahoo.com WITH THE PRODUCTS IN WHICH YOU'RE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING AND, WITHIN ONE DAY, I WILL REPLY BACK TO YOU WITH THE TOTAL COST. PURCHASES CAN BE MADE THROUGH PAYPAL USING MY EMAIL ADDRESS ABOVE OR OVER THE PHONE USING YOUR VISA OR MASTERCARD BY CALLING KIN HAIRITAGE SALON AT (609) 404-4800. NOW FOR THE REASONS WHY I CREATED THIS HAIR CHANNEL... In the year 2006, I finally decided to embrace this gift that God gave me, this head full of Naturally CurlyKinkyCoily hair (and yes, I have all 3). The year 2006 is when I did my BC (Big Chop). I felt like I was freed from bondage that day I cut off all my relaxed ends. It was such a huge relief & exciting moment to have my hair back in its "all natural" state. I love my natural hair cause I can do so many things with it, and I get so many compliments, plus it just goes with my free-spirit, outgoing personality & trendy, bohemian-chic style. I am a CJ (Conditioner Junkie) but I finally learned which products, styling methods & techniques make my hair thrive and which products I will take with me on a deserted island... lol. Most of my YouTube videos are of how I care for, maintain & style my naturally curly 4a/3c (with a little 4b) mix hair and how I keep it healthy & growing. I also do product reviews and give my opinion on certain hair products that are currently on the market. You may also see a few videos of me blogging about other stuff or singing. I hope you find that my videos are educational, entertaining & enjoyable. Sit back, relax, watch, and learn.
