"My hair journey started on bad terms i used to hate when people brushed my hair i use to throw a tantrum it was so bad that my mum had to make me choose between maintaining my hair or deciding to cut it so I decided to cut it the pain of getting my hair done was way worse than cutting my hair that’s when I found out that I was tender headed which didn’t make anything better once my hair grew back I never liked it’s natural texture I would always go and straighten it in the hair salon till I was 14 when I turned 15 I tried to maintain my hair as much as I can. Today, I love my curls, but maintaining them is such a hustle. I’m still trying new things, but it’s not easy. I’m proud of the texture of my hair, and I’m not scared to try new styles." -Manzi

"I’m lucky enough to say my hair journey has been fairly easy. I grew up fully natural and never put any chemicals in my hair; my family taught me to embrace my natural curls, and I was around people who did the same. I’ve always wanted to have long hair an honestly, that’s probably the only struggle I’ve had with it over the years. I love to get it done, to wear it out, and I especially love a good dye. It’s definitely gotten easier as I’ve gotten older, as I know better hair care and have learnt what’s good for my hair and what’s not. The only downside is how expensive it is to get done now." -Kelissa
"My hair means a lot to me. It’s a part of my identity and feels like a reflection of who I am. Even though it can be unpredictable at times, it’s comforting to know it’s uniquely mine." -Emeline
"So my relationship with my hair is very up and down; some days I wake up, and it works, and some days it doesn’t. I think what I’m learning now is to love it regardless of the good and bad." -Shanice
