The Story
The Curl Story began when I straightened my hair one day, as I did for most of my adult life. My daughter looked in the mirror, stretched her curls, and cautiously asked me if straight hair was prettier. She was 7 years old. My heart dropped.
I understood then, that my caring for her curls, complimenting her curls, was not enough. She needed me to be a role model of self-love and proudly wear my curls to help her embrace hers as well. I just needed to learn how. It was time for a new chapter of hair love.
With naturally curly hair, a background in design, and a handful of hair tools, products, and accessories, I began my curly hair journey. Today, The Curl Story continues with a mission to celebrate the beauty of natural curls every day. Cheers to the curls!
