Malinda Williams\r - Malinda Williams is currently rocking a fab, short natural 'do and her product recommendation works well for both straight and curly cuties. “I wash my hair three times a week and I’m constantly clipping my ends, so it can stand for me to wash it that often. If it’s a day where I don’t wash it, I take a little bit of water, put it on the edges, and add Keracare Foam-Wrap Lotion to slick down certain parts. Once it dries, I finger comb it,” she tells us. \r\r(Photo: Jeff Grossman/WENN.com)
