'I love my curls because they taught me to love myself for who I was. I relied on heat so much because I did not know how to maintain my hair on my own. I would press my hair every two weeks because I thought I was "ugly" without straight hair.

After researching and learning about ways to keep my hair healthy, I never turned back. I realized how hurtful heat was to my hair and I no longer wanted to have that stigma of being "ugly" because my hair wasn't straight. Now, I plan to educate and encourage girls/guys worldwide that you can embrace your normal state of hair!'
