As women, we’re often taught that the way we look naturally is wrong. No matter what we look like, we have something we should fix: our bodies, our skin, our body hair—and our hair. But the truth is that these messages come to us through advertisements meant to sell us products that will make us “more beautiful” while profiting the makeup, diet, and personal care industries.
So if you ask us, there are actually more reasons to embrace your natural hair—whether it’s straight, wavy, or curly. Here are just a few of them.
The Grass is Always Greener
If you have straight hair, you probably dream of bouncy, fluffy curls. If you’re a curly girl, you probably wish your hair would just be straight and smooth. Because no matter what we have, we tend to crave what we don’t. So instead of focusing your effort on changing your natural hair, why not put that energy into learning to love your hair for exactly how it is?
Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That
Speaking of your energy, have you ever thought about how much time, effort, and money it takes to straighten, curl, and blow dry your hair? Don’t you wish you could have that time to hang out with friends, or read a really good book, or take a nap? Well, if you choose to embrace your natural texture, you can.
