There are so many myths about embracing your natural curls, and it’s time to set the record straight! For years, we’ve been bombarded with media messages telling us that curly, wavy, or coily hair is unkempt, messy, and unprofessional—basically, undesirable. And if that wasn’t enough, we were led to believe that straightening our hair was not only the easier option but the only option. All that talk about how difficult it is to wear our hair curly—ugh, who needs that kind of negativity?
Well, guess what? It’s time to flip the script! Here’s why embracing your natural curls is a game-changer, no matter what anyone says.
1 – Curly hair is healthier hair! 🌿
Using heat tools like flat irons is one of the worst things you can do to your hair. All that heat breaks down your hair’s natural structure, leading to split ends, frizz, and even changes in your curl pattern. Ditching those damaging heat tools and letting your curls shine naturally will help reverse the damage, giving you healthier, bouncier curls.
2 – Naturally curly hair saves you time! ✨
Back in the day, I was glued to my flat iron every morning, spending hours trying to make my curls go poker straight. But now that I’ve embraced my curls, styling is a breeze! I only spend time on wash days—just a quick 5 minutes to apply my styling products, 15 minutes to diffuse, and voilà, I’m good to go. Most days, all I do is shake out my hair from the loose pineapple ponytail I slept in, and I’m out the door in no time. Easy-peasy!
3 – Less breakage, more love for your curls! 💕
With curly hair, there’s no need for daily brushing, which can weaken your strands over time. Instead, you can minimise breakage and keep your curls stronger by only detangling on wash days with a good conditioner. Less stress on your hair means less breakage—how awesome is that?
4 – Curly haircuts last longer! ✂️
Since curly hair tends to be less damaged and doesn’t need as frequent trims to stay healthy, you can go longer between haircuts. Plus, curly cuts aren’t as precise as straight ones, so they look great even months later. Many of us curly folks only head to the salon every 4-6 months!
5 – Curly hair is less frizzy than you think! 🤯
Believe it or not, frizz is just your curls’ way of showing their true colors. By embracing your natural curl pattern instead of trying to smooth it out with heat, you can blend those frizzy bits into your curls and even use them to boost your style. More volume? Yes, please!
6 – Embracing your curls inspires the next generation! 🌟
Remember being a teenager and wishing you saw more people with hair like yours in the media? By rocking your natural curls, you’re helping to change the narrative for the next generation. Let’s show the world that curly hair is professional, beautiful, and totally worthy of the spotlight!
7 – Natural is more fun 🤭
Ok, I might be biased here, but natural is SO fun! Popping open a new product and taking a whiff, applying an enriching deep conditioner, brush style and watching those little beauties bounce. Natural never gets old! It is genuinely so much fun. Then of course the entertaining remarks you get are just added bonus: “so do you curl it?” “how is it like that?”
