AS: Tell me about your relationship with your hair. Have you always been natural? If not, how did you come to embrace your curls?
JK: I had a perm, then heat and colour damage before and after going natural. My hair has always been a tool of self-expression, so colouring, cutting, straightening, [and] curling were all part of my routine from a young age. I think I got my hair coloured for the first time in seventh grade. Through the different trends and mishaps, I've learned a lot about my hair and appreciate its versatility! There's literally nothing I can't do with my hair, and that sense of freedom is really empowering to me.
