Be REAL, Be YOU, Be HAPPY!

Hi curly sisters! First of, I apologize for my poor blog website. I'm not that gifted when it comes to designing websites nor good in writing. But since I've always wanted to share my thoughts, learnings, ideas and passions to others, I created this blog for all naturally curly girls out there (like me!) to teach everyone to learn to love their own natural hair. I've been through hair irons to hair straightening treatments such as "relax", so I guess I could relate to every curly girl who has to spend so much and suffer the pain of hair chemicals on their scalps every time they get their hair straightened. I was born with a curly hair together with an insecurity being different from my sibling(they all had straight thick hair). Because of that, I grew up with a hairstyle of only tying my hair back with matching hair gel so that my curly hair won't stick up and look messy in the middle of the day. I even remembered looking at myself in the mirror while brushing my hair for hours thinking that my hair would become straight if I comb it all the time. When I got to fourth year college, here comes the dawn of HAIR RELAX. Sad to say, I did give in to peer pressure. Good thing straight hair did look good on me! haha At that moment, I really felt beautiful and that I belonged, that I'm not different with the crowd. It was quite obsessing to see my hair that straight from being so kinky curly so every after 3 months, I always make sure to get my hair relaxed at the salon so that the newly grown natural curly hair will not be obvious. After almost 3 years of suffering, I realized my hair was starting to thin and my hair scalp had wounds that took so long to heal due to chemicals used in straightening.  That moment, I finally had the courage to stop getting hair straightening treatments, chop my hair so short (above shoulder level) and go natural. It was absolutely the worse phase in my life. I felt so ugly having short curly hair, plus, I didn't know how to manage it. But through time, I finally got to learn how to manage my hair and I couldn't be any happier and contented with what I have accomplished today. I hope that every post I make, I could inspire, motivate and teach anyone to love their own and nurture it. We don't have to look like the others to be beautiful. We are beautiful because we are different. Be REAL, Be YOU, Be HAPPY! See you in my next posts! Toodles!
