To the Community
As a member of the natural hair community, I think it’s important to embrace our curly hair. Constant manipulation to our tresses can be damaging to our hair and our spirit. By consistently rejecting our textured hair we are teaching curly girls that the hair they were born with isn’t good enough. I’m all for changing it up and I love using hair as an accessory, but without seeing virtually ANY texture on the runway for the shows I attended during the Mercedes–Benz New York Fashion Week, I can see us curly girls have a lot of work to do! By sporting curly buns and other fashion forward curly hairstyles we can help usher in more curly styles for the runway and inspire curly girls and women everywhere!
I would like to sincerely thank Beautiful Textures and NaturallyCurly for picking me as their correspondent for the New York Fashion Week Adventure! The experience was unlike any other I have ever had. Opportunities to help keep curly-kinky-coily hair in the forefront of fashion keep coming my way because of this experience and I’m so grateful! This is only the beginning!
