Ep. 116: Sylvia Kerali is a London-bred, Digital Strategist and Online Branding expert, with roots in Uganda.  She is also a natural hair advocate.  In that role, she founded, Curls Understood (http://curlsunderstood.com/)-- a platform that delivers inspiration and information to the curly, natural hair community with a special focus on new naturals (those just starting to embrace their curls).  Her mission is simple: create and curate reliable content from around the web then organize it so that the Natural Hair Community can have the information it needs at its fingertips.

Now Sylvia has published an eBook called Know Thy Curls (knowthycurls.com).  It is is broken into 2 parts. The 1st part explains how to determine the curl pattern, porosity and volume of your hair (and those of your kids). The 2nd part is a full blown product ingredient dictionary with each ingredient including a safety rating, description and recommendation for the best curl texture/hair concern.

So, take a listen as Sylvia and Alex talk about natural hair, the challenges faced by those transitioning from chemically-treated to natural hair, and the issues confronted by parents who do not have naturally curly or coily hair when styling the natural hair of their kids.
