I am happy with my hair but sometimes it is quite difficult to find the right product, the one that can enhance what you naturally have.
The array of existing curl patterns is incredibly broad so finding what works best for you can be a tedious process.
Like for many other women, being in love with my hair wasn’t a given, it took time and I believe it was strongly linked to the lack of knowledge and hair education I had.
At a younger age, seeing women with straight hair would make me want the same thing, I would try different styling techniques to achieve their look but realised that it was far from being me.
During a hair acceptance journey, people around us will definitely have an impact on the way we perceive our hair and might also shape our willingness to embrace our naturalness. However, according to me the relationship you have with yourself as a person has the strongest power. This is what will help you achieve your natural hair journey in the best way, by acquiring more knowledge and experimenting.
I don’t really think about our level of representation as curly haired women but I certainly do think about the importance of complimenting each other! There are so many things that can be done with curly hair and it’s essential to highlight it in the best way, even if it’s just about saying to a fellow curly girl that she looks great!
Little things like this can help build someone’s confidence, and why would you straighten your hair and feel confident when your confidence could be tied with what you naturally have.
