For the majority of my life, I didn’t understand I had curly hair. Yes, my daddy has curly hair, however I was taught how to preserve my locks by my mama, who has pin-straight hair. So, throughout my youth, I simply believed my hair was frizzy, triangle formed, and unpleasant. As a grade schooler, before I left for the day I stood in front of my mirror aligning my long hair with a flat iron. I desired my hair to be flat like I believed everybody else’s was. This continued throughout high school and the majority of college.

However, when I was a senior in college, my roomie had stunning, curly hair. And something inside me clicked. I understood I might make my hair appear like that too. So, with her suggestions plus the hours I invested in YouTube discovering how to handle curly hair, I found out that my hair is in fact curly! I oscillate in between 2c and 3a curls on many days.

In the 9 years given that discovering my hair is curly, I have actually completely leaned in. Now, I hardly ever touch a heat tool, purchase far a lot of hair items, and even encourage others on their curly hair journeys. So, now that I am a curly hair professional, I am geared up to share 5 simple hairdos I found out to do.
