This episode is for the curlyheads who haven’t found a way to express themselves through their hair and the ones who are waiting for a helpful push in that direction. This is a way for you guys to learn how to understand your hair and embrace every inch of it. It's important to talk about black hair care because it’s up to us to find healthier alternatives to help our hair flourish. Not a lot of people have guidance when it comes to that, but I’m here to provide something that could help you in some kind of way. We all had to gain the confidence to wear our natural hair and try new things with it. If you haven't started now, what's stopping you?
