Not only has my hair evolved, but so has a different love and confidence that I never had for myself. I have been heat, color-free for three years, meaning my hair is virgin now.

I feel like every person should be able to feel beautiful within themselves without believing that they have to follow a certain guideline, and… they should be able to say, "This is beautiful," and most importantly, if it's me and what I want. My godmother, for instance, has golden locks and long hair. I spend a lot of time admiring other people's beauty instead of my own. Hair has been such a vital part of my life. My name is Jennifer, and… you know me as the curly-haired girl in the room. įlat, dry, we don't know her! Curls, moisture, definition, volume… mmm. Jennifer: Girl, your hair looking good, juicy-who you, mami? I don't get these curls for free, chica. “I grew up with this thought in my head that my curly hair was unrefined, messy, because it was curly and long.” ![]()
