As a child, my mom used to call me Shirley Temple<\/span><\/a> because ringlets sprang out of my scalp like the famous child actor.<\/span><\/p>\n

My hair was so curly, people would ask my mom if it was real. I got compliments about my curls all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

But when I entered middle school I started to hate curly hair and I straightened it to look like the celebrities I saw on TV.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever I saw a girl with straight hair I\u2019d immediately find myself wishing for it and telling her: \u201cyou\u2019re so lucky you have straight hair!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I brushed my curls out as much as I could and style it in ways only people with straight hair would. I wore an excessive amount of gel but even that couldn\u2019t control the frizz.<\/span><\/p>\n

When my freshman year of high school rolled around I discovered that I could straighten my hair by using a flat iron.<\/span><\/p>\n

SPENCER JOLIBOIS \/ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019d wake up two hours before school everyday to straighten my hair, even if I had to blow dry it first.<\/span><\/p>\n

My close friends would ask me why I didn\u2019t embrace it, but I\u2019d simply shrug my shoulders and say that I didn\u2019t like the curls.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those who met me during my freshman year of high school didn\u2019t know my hair was naturally curly and only found out when I grew tired of waking up everyday at 5 a.m. to straighten it.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was at the end of my freshman year when I decided to let my hair air dry and kept the curls.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, that determination didn\u2019t last long. I discovered that after having straightened my hair for so long it was frizzy with no curl pattern and full of split ends. Soon, I started braiding my hair every night into two Dutch braids to hide the damage.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d wake up with beautiful waves and receive compliments for them but I knew they weren\u2019t natural so I never took the compliments seriously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After graduating high school in 2020, I spent a lot of time watching YouTube videos featuring girls who talked about their curly hair journey and how they got their beautiful curls back.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was determined to get mine back even if it took me years. So I finally cut my long damaged hair and I started using only curly hair products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My curls<\/span><\/a> slowly started forming again. Now I regularly cut my hair every season, do weekly deep conditioning treatments, brush my hair in the shower with a Denman brush, wash it only once or twice weekly, style it with lightweight gel and diffuse it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also continue to educate myself about the best ways to treat curly hair and follow people on social media that encourage me to embrace it.<\/span><\/p>\n

While my hair doesn\u2019t have the curl pattern I want it to have yet, it\u2019s all part of the curly hair journey. I can proudly say I love my hair\u2014even when it looks like a fluffy cloud.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re having a hard time learning to love your hair, be patient. You\u2019ll get there and you\u2019ll come to love your natural hair while feeling empowered.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn to be happy about the process. Understand that your curls WILL turn poofy after spending a day out in the South Florida humidity and laugh when it gets stuck between someone\u2019s fingers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It makes life more fun. Embrace every moment of it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
