If you feel like managing curly hair is impossible–be it because of frizz, maintenance, or overall no idea how to even begin to make it look somewhat presentable. I’VE BEEN THERE. As a teenager, I had no idea what to do with my curls and turned to a straightener every. single. day. Not because I wanted to, but because I felt like I had no other choice. I knew next to nothing about what was good for my hair, how to clump curls together, and testing products felt like a neverending parade of failures. I was OVER IT. But as I got older and went to school to be a stylist, figuring out how to properly care for hair similar to my texture became something I was VERY interested in and could even study on myself! One day, I looked in the mirror and realized I couldn’t remember the last time I touched a straightener and took a closer look. My hair looked healthier than it had in years. I found products that helped my frizz, and cut my hair into a curly-friendly shape. I realized I appreciated my hair and even found it lower maintenance allowing it to go natural. Then I started getting compliments on my curls and went out of my way to market myself to others with curly hair so I could help them. I realized I wanted to be the person that helped others see the beauty in their curls without the years of education and frying with an iron it took me and my hair. And it’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.
