Dark Curly/Wavy Hair

by Helena
(Orange County, California)

I come from a Mexican background and I was never comfortable with my hair when I was younger. I saw it as ugly and would always wear a ponytail to disguise it.

Into my mid teens I finally accepted my hair and began to wear it down. I ceased using so many products and shampooing daily. Thus, my hair regained its health and shine.

Now I absolutely adore my full bouncy curls and see them as a mark of femininity and beauty.

* I shampoo once a week, and wash it with conditioner 3 times a week. Also, the only products I use are a leave-in conditioner and a bit of hairspray for special events. I have only straightened my hair once in my life.
