We always knew fashion-smart music star Kelly Rowland was fabulous—and apparently so does Caress! The award-winning singer and style icon has been named one of this year's new Caress Fabulistas. Kelly is sharing how to put a fresh spin on everything from beauty to style to music and more, all to celebrate the launch of the new Caress Fresh Body Wash Collection that brings freshness and features revitalizing fine fragrances. "As an artist, I am always looking for inspiration and to find the beauty in all that surrounds me. For me, it starts in the shower with a great fragrance that gets me in the right frame of mind and sets the mood for my day," she said, citing the new Caress Emerald Rush Body Wash as a current favorite.

Introduce yourself!
S: My name is Sarah Angel Adesiyan. I am from Bolton, England.

Why did you make the decision to go natural?
S: I've been natural my whole life. My mum always steered me clear of weaves, and relaxers… My mum is just obsessed with my hair.

How would you describe your texture?
S: I don't know my hair in terms of 3a, 3b, etc., but I'd describe it as reasonably soft, and manageable as long as I remember to brush it and put conditioner or oil in it.

Describe your styling regimen over the course of the month.
S: Every day I usually just wash and condition my hair with the One N' Only Argan Oil Restorative Hair Mask, then blow dry my hair. I'm always mixing up the products I use so I wouldn't say there's a particular 'right' product for me. I'm currently using Argan Hair Mask. Sometimes I will tie my curls all on top simply using clips or a bobble. Due to a manageable texture I don't need to put any additional products in my hair when styling.

What does wash day look like for you?
S: I apply the One N' Only Argan Oil Restorative Hair Mask and just brush it through my wet hair during my morning shower. I sprinkle some water on it so it lathers a little, then blow dry my hair.

Describe your favorite go-to hairstyle for days when you don't have a lot of time to style.
S: I tie a bobble around my hair and split my curls so my hair looks frizzier. That's it really.

Tell us about your hair color?
S: I love dyeing my hair! At the moment it's a brown, ginger and blonde kind of colour… it all started with me dyeing literally a 12th of my hair, if even that! I did it myself with my best friend's help and we used Live Color XXL Max Blonde to get it this colour. I've dyed it on top around 7 times, I'd say. It has changed my hair texture, but not much.

What are some of your problem areas (if any) that require special care and attention?
S: My hair knots super easily, so I try not to sleep without it tied up unless I want super curly hair the next day.

What are 2 do's for your texture?
S: Don't forget to condition! Also if you have time, braiding your hair quickly before bed is helpful not only for your texture, but also for strengthening your hair.

What are 2 don'ts for your texture?
S: From my experience, as long as you keep brushing and conditioning you don't really have to hold back.

Is there a blog/webpage where we can find you?
S: I have a modelling page on a couple of sites and there is always my Instagram!
