Love your hair

Our Story

From a young age, we are pressured to change our appearance and strive to meet society's standards for beauty.
This is especially true for black women in regards to our hair.

Around 2010, I began the journey of self-acceptance and embracing my natural hair.
This journey has helped me embrace my culture and love myself more fully, without letting others dictate how I should look.
While embarking on this journey was empowering and enlightening, there were still many moments of frustration and sadness which made the routine of caring for my hair feel like a chore.
But embracing this ritual as self-care has helped in changing my experience with my hair routine and my relationship with my hair.

While not every hair care session is perfect (I'm still human 🙂), caring for my hair, like exercising or taking a relaxing bath, is one of my favorite ways of practicing self-care.
The act helps me slow down, feel refreshed, and boosts my confidence.

Our Mission

VeryWell Mind defines self-care as “a conscious act a person takes in order to promote their own physical, mental, and emotional health.”
Practicing self care can come in many different forms, like exercising, journaling, or caring for your hair.
Here at Love Your Hair, we recognize that self-care has been commercialized.
This community is not about selling you products you don't need, striving for society's ideal, or meeting another person's idea of beauty.
We hope only to create a community that uplifts and promotes self-love, embraces hair care as self-care, and guides women in crafting routines they enjoy, which help them celebrate themselves and feel their very best.
Because we all deserve to! 🤎
