HoneyBeChat with five-time All American #AngelaDavis (@shapewithAngela) after a one hour intense workout in Dallas Texas at #Klyde Warren Park as a part of #Megafit for Megafest Dallas 2015.

Q:How do you keep your hair from not getting in the way of your workouts.   

Angela: I keep it in its natural state instead of trying to process it and I wear it natural. That's the key. A good routine and a great conditioner to keep it quenched and heathly.

Q: What is the key to keeping your hair healthy especially after an intense workout like this?

Angela:  Natural hair will get dry so conditioner is important. Preferably leave in conditioner. I don't just use the same conditioner all the time because my hair starts getting used to the same product so I (often) change it up. (currently using Biolage) but I enjoy  switching it up all the time.

Angela on Mind Body and Soul: 

"We make choices all through our day and at the end of the day, we become those choices which affect our mind body and soul."
