Left me with Insecurities!

“#My_daughter_will_never_know_relaxers
Such an important message and Initiative by the Hair Addict, as a mum of 2 it’s so important to change the narrative of what embracing your natural beauty is all about.
Growing up and surrounded by what the media portrayed beauty should be, I spent years blow drying, straight ironing, chemically straightening my hair because that’s just what I was made to believe that the epitome of beauty lied in having straight silky looking hair.
Fast forward to when I touched my 40’s the effects of doing all of that to my hair left me with insecurities about hair loss, thinning and damaged looking hair. I realized it was time to embrace my naturally textured hair and dig deep into the world of curls, how to nurture and look after them.
This message needs to spread far and wide, that the freedom you know what your hair texture, is what makes you unique and unstoppable. My children will NEVER EVER know relaxers.”
