I Spoke with CurlyNikki and She Saved My Hair
Last week, I met with hair guru extraordinaire Nikki Walton, aka CurlyNikki, and she basically saved my hair’s life. What was initially meant to be a Q&A sesh for a Mane Addicts story, turned out to be a personal crash course in haircare. Walton’s new book “When Good Hair Goes Bad” is the ultimate natural hair handbook. I read a great portion of the book prior meeting the curl queen, but the wealth of knowledge dropped on me during our interview opened my eyes to hair solutions to issues I’ve been dealing with for years. Catch some of the MAJAH KEYS below:
MAJAH KEY #1: Why your hair seems like it isn’t growing
“So a lot of women say ‘Oh, my hair hasn’t grown in three years!’ And to that I say, ‘Your hair is always growing, you’re just not retaining length.’ Which means, your hair is breaking off as fast as it’s growing out of your scalp. It’s most likely something in your routine [that’s causing the breakage]. It could be over manipulation of re-twisting your hair overnight or product build-up; it varies so much. Whatever it is, you’re doing something that is preventing that retention. So you have to assess, even if you have to write down your regimen and tweak a few things. Take notes and see what works. You will see growth as long as your protect the ends.”
MAJAH KEY #2: Portion control is so important
“The amount of product you use depends on you hair and the step of the routine you’re in. When I detangle I used all the conditioner, like the whole bottle! The tangles fall out with no problem. But when I’m styling my hair, I don’t use a lot of product. I used to use a lot, because I thought a lot of styling product would hold my curls better. But what actually happened is my hair took longer to dry and ended up looking cakey and flakey. So it’s all about getting the right styling products and using it light-handedly.”

MAJAH KEY #3: Protective styles aren’t always the solution — they can also be the problem.
“One that I touch on in the book is protective styles being the way to grow your hair out. Sometimes, it can do more harm than good. People with fine hair like mine, can’t rock those big luxurious extensions. My edges would come out and it would put strain on my scalp. It would definitely do more harm than good, and I wouldn’t see the length I wanted. You have to know what protective styles work for you.”
MAJAH KEY #4: How to beach/pool-proof your hair
“I’m a beach girl, I go to the beach like several times a year all over the world. Before I go into the water, I wet my hair and apply leave-in conditioner. That way if my hair is already wet and drenched with delicious conditioner, it won’t soak up the salt water. Or even in the pool, it won’t soak up the chlorine water. It’s just a great way to protect my hair on vacation.”
