Why I Love My Curls And Making Sure My Daughter Does Too

Why I Love My Curls And Making Sure My Daughter Does Too

I love my naturally coily, curly hair. I’ve loved it ever since I embraced it almost 10 years ago. I have also tried to instill this love and acceptance into my daughter who also has curly hair.  At 20 she wears her hair mostly straight and I can see how her beautiful curls may begin to suffer as a result… so I worry.

You see, as women, it is hard living up to the impossible standards of beauty, body image, career/family balance and self-love.  We can thank a lot of the outside pressures from society for our warped desire for perfection, but we must find a way to overcome the singular perception of beauty.

Straight hair and fairer skin has been praised as a universal beauty for so long that many women who fall outside of that narrow perimeter lack the self-love they so desperately need. We all need to be beautiful as we are all ARE beautiful many are taking notice. So when Dove launched the  Dove Hair Love Your Curls  I was intrigued.  A huge company in women’s hair-care was embracing, announcing and promoting curly hair? I wanted to find out more about it.  


The campaign surrounds a fairly new line, Dove Quench Absolute, and I have fallen in love with the Ultra Nourishing Conditioner while my daughter loves the Intensive Restoration Mask.
