A SWEAR-BY BEAUTY TIP 

 I personally love to add oil to my body lotion. Jojoba or almond oil. Not sure if that’s a tip, it’s just something I like to do!

A SWEAR-BY HAIR TIP 

 I always leave most of the conditioner in my hair. I give it a light rinse and keep the rest in for extra moisture

A SMALL JOY 

Drinking tea. In the morning, afternoon, and evening. All day. Black, green, herbal, all flavours. I love it

HAIR WASH ROUTINE 

Very simple. Most of the shampoo in my roots and rinse. Maybe sometimes a little second round if there is a lot of product build-up. Conditioner all the way through and brush it through with the large wet detangler  brush by Tangle Teezer. Then rinse briefly from the roots and let the rest sit in my curls. Done!

WHY DIZZIAK 

 It’s just so nourishing. I have dry hair and skin that absolutely soaks up moisture. Both the hair and body conditioner seem to have enough of that for my dry needs. The scent is perfect and there’s no nasty stuff in there

GREAT HAIR MEMORY 

When I first started to wear my natural curls. I was 17 and had been relaxing and straightening my hair since I was about 12 and just scraping it back in a bun. I was nervous but I decided to cut off all the damage and wear my hair in a short cute afro. Everyone loved it and I learned to as well. And ever since me and my curls have been living in harmony

NIGHTMARE HAIR STORY 

I’d finally managed to grow some decent length. A hairdresser somehow got distracted and trimmed half my fringe off and for about a month it was so short it just stuck straight up. They also decided to take off all the length I’d worked on and set me back about 5 years. My hair grows slowly! I was gutted

FAVOURITE WAY TO STAY ACTIVE 

I love lifting weights

ONE THING YOU WOULD LOVE TO DO

BEST PIECE OF ADVICE 

Be nice, be yourself and don’t worry what anyone else thinks
