1. What have your curls taught you?
The confidence to love myself for the person that I am. I spent so much of my life relaxing and damaging my hair and then when I finally went through the process of letting that go, I found myself a little vulnerable, but at the same time growing stronger. I look in the mirror and I’m like yeah, that’s me, those are my curls.

5. Have you ever tried to change your curls?
My curls have gone through an evolution. I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to relax my hair and when my mother allowed me to do it at the age of 12. I permed my hair 3-4x a year until I was 19 years old (I couldn’t afford to relax my hair while I was in college). I still managed to straighten my hair without a relaxer but as the natural hair movement became a trend, I was tempted to unlearn the beauty standard that I was exposed to and reconcile with my natural texture. I wasn’t confident enough to chop my dead hair, but I spent years scrunching my ends and testing different products and new style methods that would achieve the best hair styles for me. My natural hair is now 4 years old and I’m 28 years old 🙂
