ESSENCE and My Black is Beautiful correspondent Gia Peppers gets the scoop on the hair regimens of stylish New York women.
Transcript
00:00Hey, guys, it's Gia Peppers here for My Black is Beautiful and Essence, and today we are in the streets of New York City to find out all about hair.
00:19We all love talking about it, and we might not know enough about it, so we wanted to ask New Yorkers how they keep their hair so fresh, how this summer they are looking fab.
00:28So if you guys are ready, we are too.
00:31The best part about living in New York City is seeing girls with amazing styles in their hair and their fashion wardrobe.
00:38So tell me about this hairstyle.
00:40Well, I was tired of my natural hair, and it's, you know, just really easy to do, but you can do so many fun different styles.
00:48Easy, right? Getting up in the morning and wrapping it up and going, right?
00:50Yeah.
00:51It's also my favorite style for the summer as well because you can obviously make little different changes.
00:55I wear a bun on top of my head. Don't know why. I just do.
00:59You're fabulous.
01:01So tell me about your hair. It is gorgeous.
01:04Thank you. I really appreciate it. I'm natural, obviously. I have very defined curls.
01:09I just use a lot of oil. I condition to the max. That's probably the best way that I go about it.
01:13Well, we have a great product here that I think you might want to try, Pantene Pro-V Non-Aerosol Hairspray.
01:20It's great for the summer because it's humidity-proof, and as Kyra and I know, the humidity can get crazy.
01:25It's crazy, definitely. It looks like it. I would really enjoy it.
01:29So how long have you been natural?
01:30I actually just went natural last year. Right now, I play around with it because it's a little bit longer.
01:36While you're growing it, what products do you use that you live by as a naturally-stuff?
01:40I might use some coconut oil if I'm going to do a flat twist the night before, and I'll wet it, and I use the coconut oil to twist it out.
01:47So much to learn and so much to do. What has been the most difficult part for you?
01:52Deciding to do it was really hard. My sister had gone natural, actually, and she had huge hair.
01:57Well, thank you so much. Your hair is beautiful. I can't wait to see how it grows.
02:02Now, what difficulties do you run into with your everyday hair routine?
02:06I would say the most difficulties are when I first wash my hair. It's a little bit drier, so it almost has to be dirty to be really curly.
02:14Since we're here talking, I have this amazing Pantene hair serum, and it really, really helps with making it more manageable.
02:21It has argan oil in it, and you know how we love argan oil.
02:24It's really good.
02:25Argan oil saves lives.
02:27Yeah.
02:27What I do is I usually just put, like, two little squirts on my hand and just spread it out in the hair and make sure you get the scalp.
02:33What I really love about this product in particular is that it really makes your hair manageable, and afterwards, you can put it up in any twist style.
02:40I know you're growing your hair, so I know styling is really important, so it makes it so much more manageable.
02:46I would definitely try this.
02:47Well, we're glad we can help you out, and hopefully you love it and tell all your friends about it.
02:51I will.
02:51I will tell all my friends.
