The 5-Minute Beauty Secrets Syesha Mercado Learned From American Idol

PS: What's your biggest challenge with the natural curls?

SM: Consistency. The curl pattern changes every single day. My hair is supercurly, and when I was younger, people always thought I had a Jheri curl. When it's wet it's really short, that's why I blow-dry it sometimes to have the volume. Especially with humidity and being from Florida, I had no clue how long my hair was until I got to California because there was no humidity there! So, I guess my main things are shrinkage and consistency, but that's also what I love about having natural hair: it's just different all the time. You just never know what you're gonna get.
