 Featured Naturalista: Benita Andrews


Hey Guys! Its a real pleasure featuring Benita as this week's Naturalista. Benita Andrews is the owner of the natural hair care product boutique Frize' Boutique. Enjoy her story below:

Where are you from?
Savannah, GA

What’s something we wouldn't know by looking at you?
I owner of a natural hair product boutique by the name of Frize' Boutique www.frizeboutique.com




How long have you been natural? I've been natural since 2009.


Did you do the Big Chop or did you transition to natural hair and When?
I transitioned for a little over as year and then I big chopped in 2011.

 Did you have a support system?
Not at all. By the third day I was regretting the big chop big time with no one to cry to!


What is more important to you - Hair Length or Hair Health?
Hair health is more important to me. Having long hair isn't doing you any good if it's not healthy.

What are some of your favorite natural hair products?
I have two staple products and I absolutely love both of them. I sell both products in my boutique. ATON's Natty products (Natty Butter, Natty Mist and Natty Moist) and Coco Curls Moisturizing Créme.


What is your natural hair regimen?
The longest I go without washing my hair is two weeks. I detangle with Natty Moist. I'm not married to a particular shampoo but my conditioner must be a moisturizing one. I usually use more Natty Moist and cover my head for about 30 Minutes before rinsing. My final rinse is a concoction of cold distilled water and ACV. I will then two strand twist my hair using either of my favorite products.

 What advice would you give to someone who is considering to go natural or a newly natural sista? Do your research. This is a journey...trial and error. Don't get hung up on those videos on YouTube. Your hair might not look like that the first time out of the gate (or ever)...theirs didn't either. Buy quality products, not just those products "because she uses them".

Where can we find you?
You can find me on Facebook, Twitter and my website at www.frizeboutique.com

INTERLOCKING ROTATION | 2 Point vs 4 Point Rotation On Locs Hi Loves, I always get asked about how do I interlock my locs and the rotation I used - whether its 2-point or 4-point rotation. Some people also use the term 2-way or 4-way rotation. In the video below, I illustrate on my own locs, the difference between the two methods. you can then compare for yourself, if there is a difference between the two by looking at my locs. Do you interlock your locs? Share below which rotation do you use?

DIY Moisturizing Spray For Locs And Natural Hair

Since I loc’d my hair last year November, creamy moisturizers have been a thing of the past. Anything creamy is the devil to locs because it causes buildup and can even grow mold in the loc (yuck!). So liquid everything has been my choice for hair products. I have been experimenting with natural ingredients to build a moisturizer that WORKS. I wanted a product that left my hair moist and not just for a hot second. I wanted it seal in the moisture and offer shine to my locs, my scalp and my loose natural roots (a few inches). I apply this moisturizing spray to my entire locs and squeeze it into my loc. for my scalp (when retwist not fresh) I spray liberally to my scalp and give my self a soothing scalp massage. My hair and locs love it. This formula would work wonders for loose natural hair as well (it's not just for locs). Below is what I use in my spray and I love it. In a 8oz bottle i add the following: 1/2 bottle rose water Mixture of your favorite base oils or you c
