In my green plastic basket, there are mounds of bumpy brushes. The clear bottle of gel sits half open and slimy on the bathroom counter. Next to it, there is a bottle of curl cream that spills over leaving the texture of yogurt and the scent of coconut blueberry milk covering my fingers. Running my hands through my soaked slippery hair, I completely cover every strand. My now pruny hands, reach for a bright green brush and twist and coil all the separated glossy curls.

I began my hair care journey when I was 11 years old and I realized that my hair wasn't frizzy and messy, I just had curly hair. I realized that my hair needed maintenance that the other girls at my school didn't need. I started by putting any type of hair product I could find in my hair to tame the mess and going about my day but there was no consistency in the appearance and I didn't feel confident wearing it natural. In middle school, I became exhausted and began flat ironing my hair everyday to avoid the time consuming job of treating my hair and in turn, improving my self esteem.  I ended up with permanent damage from the heat and I had to chop it all off if I ever wanted to go back to my natural state. This brought me to start my research and helped me gain the 6 years of knowledge that I have now about my curly hair.
