Learning to not only accept, but love your curly mane can be a really challenging journey for some. One of our beautiful guests struggled with tight, coily curls for most of her life; desperately trying to subdue and tame the mass of locks she had been made to feel ashamed of. From using an ironing board and iron to straighten her hair, to keratin treatments that didn’t work and damaging extensions that didn’t suit her hair type; she had tried everything. The problem is not only was she causing damage to her hair, creating breakage, frizz and dehydration, she was trying to hide a beautiful part of herself. She got to a point where her damaged, unruly curls fought against the poor quality, straight extensions.

The day she finally decided enough was enough and removed her extensions left her distraught. What was left of her curls was short and damaged and she was too overwhelmed to even look at herself in the mirror. The journey to self-acceptance and to healthy, gorgeous curls was a slow one!
