1. Introduce yourself:
My name is Nikky. I was born in Brooklyn NY. I’ve lived in different parts of the county
and currently spend most of my time between California and NY/NJ. I’m of African descent, specifically Nigeria.
I have a B.S in Finance and I’m currently pursuing a M.S in Statistics, hence my
relationship with research lol.
2. What is your current hair status?
It’s important to test your complete hair type
rather than to assume. A better
understanding of your complete hair type will help you make better product and
handling decisions with your hair. Watch
my three part series that goes over (in detail) how to properly test your hair
and fill out your chart.

3. How long have you been on a hair journey?
 |
| Mini Twist Updo |
I have been
natural a little over 2 years. 2.4 to be
exact
4. Why did you choose to start up your youtube
channel?
To gather more information on how to care for my hair. I quickly noticed that there were and still
is tons of conflicting information out there.
This is not necessarily b/c people are putting out wrong information. The issue is that people often share their
personal experience and what works for them.
And as we all know, what works for one may not work for many. As a statistician, I understand the value of
research and fact finding. This channel
is not necessarily about my personal hair journey. My goal is to help our community become more
empowered in taking control of their hair, through the use of facts that I have
accumulated through extensive research, and through building relationships with
trichologists, chemists and cosmetologists. Not everyone
is going to agree with everything, and that’s fine. I only hope that at least one of my videos
teaches you something that you did not know and that your hair will benefit
from.
5. What single piece of advice would you give to
someone starting their hair journey?
Hair is a very important part of our external beauty. If I could only give a single piece of advice
to someone just starting out on any hair journey, I would stress the importance
of acquiring knowledge and fact finding.
It’s important to know exactly what’s going on, on a microscopic level
so you have a clearer and more realistic plan and understanding on how to reach
your hair goals

7. What has helped you most in achieving your current
length/ hair health:
I have documented and will continue to document all of the
knowledge I have gained on hair on my YouTube channel “Green Beauty
Channel”. These methods, I explain are
exactly what I have followed to achieve my length retention. It’s not difficult, it just takes and different
way of thinking. It a huge learning
curve, but the result is well worth it.
Once you understand the structure and the science of hair,
creating a method/regimen to retain length is clear. I will be uploading a video titled, “How to
Start a Natural Hair Journey” in the near future. It will include detailed instructions on what
to do if your goal is to retain tons on length.
