Her Hair, Her Story is about celebrating Black women and their hair. I played with different styles, colours, and nostalgic looks to explore how hair holds memory, identity, and personality. Each hairstyle tells its own story of beauty, creativity, and the joy of self-expression.
"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
