I have been eyeballing this sista for a  while on fotki and I have been dying to get an interview from her, I am so glad I am successful. Meet Lukalomi, aside from her striking beauty, the unique beauty Lukalomi has to bring to the natural world is her creativity with styles, her hair progress over the past 3 years have been remarkable, I hope you all get as inspired as I am. Special thanks to Lukalomi for taking the time to do this interview.

1. How long have you been natural? how long did you transition?

- I have been natural a little under 3 years. I transitioned for 7 months before BCing.

 2. What are the pros and cons (if any) of being natural?

The pros of being natural are that I have been forced to learn how to care for my hair on my own.
I feel more comfortable in my own skin. I am more confident and I trust myself a bit more. It's a great conversation starter.
The cons are that I have become even more aware of how insecure some black women can be about hair. To point
of putting each other down.

 3. Please describe your hair texture and its behaviors ex. kinky curly coarse coil very dry....

- I have an assortment of fine to medium to sightly course hair it can be relatively cooperative. The curl pattern
varies greatly. Some curls kinks and waves here and there. It's normal to dry.

 4. What made you want to become natural?

I decided to go natural after several haircuts and dye jobs. My hair was dull frizzy and lifeless. I was spending
ridiculous amounts of money on stylists (for a student). I like to change up my look a lot. Straight hair just didn't
give me enough versatility.

 5. What is your hair goal?

My hair goal is shiny healthy hair with no split ends and no single strand knots. I can dream. LOL

 6. Name 4 fave hair products?

My favorite hair products are kinky curly knot today. burdock root butter from qhemet biologics. shea butter and sauve coconut conditioner.

7. What tips and advice would you share with us?  

My advice is to take pictures so you can see how your hair has grown. Be gentle with it and have patience.

 8. Where can you be found?

 I can be found at youtube:lukalomi for videos and at fotki for pictures.
 

 9. What advice would you give someone who is considering becoming natural?

To someone going natural I would say really research how to take of natural hair before you do it because it will save
you from heartache down the road.

 10. Would you say being natural affects your life? if so in what way?

 Being natural is a way of thinking and doing. It is life. It has made me more health conscious and makes me question every day life
