Personal hair journey began with straightening curls due to societal beauty standards. As a Latina, learning to embrace natural curls involved confronting these norms. Influencers on social media provided valuable insights into curly hair care, leading to a growing community. Despite discovering a suitable routine and the empowerment it brought, the pressure to achieve perfection became overwhelming. Ultimately, opting out of the curly-hair industrial complex offered freedom from societal expectations and a deeper appreciation for natural hair textures.
Throughout my childhood and early adulthood, I consistently straightened my hair, neglecting its natural beauty. Only after embracing my curls did I challenge societal beauty standards and explore self-acceptance.
As social media exploded, countless influencers offered guidance on how to care for and style curly hair, shaping a community that empowered individuals to embrace their natural textures.
While I enjoyed the benefits of learning to manage my curls, I began to feel bogged down by the demands of maintaining them amidst the pressure to adhere to beauty trends.
Ultimately, I recognized that opting out of the meticulously curated curly-hair industrial complex allowed me the freedom to appreciate my natural hair without the burden of societal expectations.
