@jamiefrombklyn shares her lazy natural secrets for caring for long, curly hair.

“I kept seeing all the girls with beautiful curls and remembered that I once too had pretty curls. At that point it just became my mission to recuperate my curls.”

More than the products, it’s the technique that matters. Once you get a hold of the technique, you will definitely get good curls with minimum products.

“Curly hair is gorgeous and being different is cool, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!”

“Don’t be so hard on yourself. Most of us were taught to hate our hair, so we have to learn to love it and when you do, it’ll show.”

“I never dreamed the one thing I despised the most would transition to become something I love and now cannot imagine changing about myself.”

“The curly hair journey is not a trend, it’s a lifestyle.”

“In order to love your natural beauty, you need to love yourself and that can take time.”

“Going to therapy pushed me in the direction of self love, which also meant appreciating my naturally curly texture.”

“Coming to the realization that I had accomplished my goal and had a new appreciation and love for myself was my most empowering moment.”

“As I began to learn about and embrace my curls, I knew very quickly I was going to have to let go of a couple things.”

I know it is hard to say goodbye to a straightener, but you will only ever feel like the real YOU when you will finally embrace what nature gave you.
