            <!--[endif]-->Introduce yourself! I’m Dorian ‘D. Marie’Johnson. Originally from Richmond, Virginia, currently living in Norfolk, VAfor the past 5 years for undergraduate studies and now graduate studies atNorfolk State University. I love it in Hampton Roads. I do miss home a lot, butbeing by the water is awesome.

How long have you been natural? Wow, time has definitelyflown by, but I have been natural for a wonderful 2 years and 3 months.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->            <!--[endif]-->Did you transition or big chop? I big chopped! When I saybig chop, I TOTALLY cut ALL my hair off into a low-cut Caesar. It was great!Sometimes I really miss the length I was at, being that it was so easy andcarefree…I wouldn’t trade it for the growth I’ve obtained now though.

            <!--[endif]-->What’s is your regimen? My regimen varies from weekto week. I wear a lot of protective styles in my hair so that can throw aregimen off a bit. To be honest, that’s one thing I need to be more consistentwith. As far as products go, now that’s something I’m consistent with! I use aproduct line named ‘Naokeidoe Creations’ (www.naokeidoecreations.com). Iespecially love their hair lotion and shea butter. Leaves my hair feelingnothing short of amazing! Check it out for yourself ;-)

Did going natural change your personal style? Going natural definitelydidn’t change my personal style. I’ve always had my own uniqueness and twist onthe way I dress and wore my hair. Being natural just ‘Upped-the-Ante’ a little,lol, as far as hair goes.

If your hair could talk what would it say? If myhair could talk it would say, “Why Wasn’t I This Way Sooner?!”

Do you consider yourself a Knotty Girl? and why? I certainly do! I loveeverything about my hair. From the way it shrinks and it tightly coiled, to thedefinition it carries when I do a twist-out. Each day brings new challenges that I conquer and it tugs at my creativity to the 10th power. Not to mentionit has saved me so much money in the past two years! I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Whatdo you love most about your good head?(HairEveryone Adores & Desires) I would have to say the onething that I love most about my good head is my texture. No matter how one mytry to ‘type’ or ‘classify’ my hair, it’s made for me, designed the way it’ssupposed to be.
