Let’s be real: my hair and I have a bit of a complicated relationship! I recently shared a video called “Starting My Curly Hair Journey But I Hate My Curly Hair,” and honestly, that title is spot on. Growing up, I never really saw my curls as something to love. They felt more like a hassle—something to fight with, tame, straighten, or hide away. Even now, as I’m diving into this curly hair journey as an adult, I often catch myself wishing for something simpler, something sleek that doesn’t need a whole routine and a pep talk just to leave the house.
But you know what? I’m done fighting my curls! This series is all about learning how to care for my natural hair from a place of curiosity instead of criticism. It’s my chance to rediscover the texture I was born with without trying to conform to someone else’s idea of “beautiful.”
In the video, I share how strange it feels to reconnect with something that never really got the love it deserved. I also talk about the moment I knew I was ready to try again, even if I’m still figuring things out. There’s no big “perfect curl” reveal in episode one—just me, a wide-tooth comb, some product confusion, and a lot of honesty!
✨ Here’s what to expect in this series:
– Real-time trial and error
– Reviews of products that actually work for super low-maintenance routines
– Haircare tips I wish I’d known sooner
– Messy wash days, emotional detangling, and those hard-won moments of growth
– And most importantly, a warm and welcoming space for anyone who’s ever felt not quite curly enough, not straight enough, just… not enough.
This journey is really personal for me, but I know I’m not alone in it. If you’re navigating your own relationship with your natural hair, whether you’re deep into your routine or just starting to let go of heat damage and denial: I see you!
Let’s grow (and hydrate) together!
