I used to hate my natural hair. Like… genuinely hate it.🥺💔
I was born with curls - soft, bouncy curls - and I spent YEARS destroying them with constant straightening. Why? Because one day my ex looked at me and said, “Your curls look terrible.” 🤔
And it literally got stuck in my head for years. I believed him. I changed myself because of one careless sentence.
But when I moved to LA… something shifted. This city taught me confidence in a completely different way. It made me fall in love with my nature instead of fighting it. I stopped straightening my hair, let it breathe, let it heal - and my curls came back.Now they’re super smooth, healthy, and actually gorgeous. I can’t believe I wasted so much time trying to hide them. 🩷✌🏼And honestly… healing my hair healed a part of me too.
Why do we let someone’s insecure opinion shape the way we see ourselves?
Was there ever something about yourself you tried to change because of another person’s words? And did you ever get it back?😤
