I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about hair tools in my life
My relationship with my hair has been a bit of a journey to say the least.
A bit of my backstory, I grew up in a small country town and also didn’t have my African side of family close to me. Mum used to braid my hair, we’d work things out as we went (and when I say we, her ha)we did the best with the information and products we had at the time. This was before social media, before YouTube tutorials etc and before you could jump online and find someone with similar hair to yours showing you what products to use or how to use them. Also, so much of that knowledge is often passed down through family and community and when you don’t have that proximity, there can be a lot of trial and error.
Even now, there are things I’m still learning about my own hair which if i’m being honest is only really starting now.
Which is why I was so excited when I discovered Dyson had released a multi styler specifically for textured, afro and coily hair. Because if I’m honest, products designed with textured hair in mind still feel like the exception rather than the norm.
One day I’d love to wear my natural texture more often, but right now, between a toddler, a business and life ATM, I’m always open to anything that might make the process a little easier while i’m on my journey to learning about how to care for my hair.
And to any brands reading this, whether it’s hair, beauty, fashion or beyond, people of colour aren’t an afterthought. We’re here, we have money to spend too, and we’d love to see ourselves reflected in the products being created
Anyway, this is part one.
Part two is coming in a few weeks because my girl is going to teach me how to use this (for my curly sisters, we’ll make sure we film some content and give you a little demo and review)
(and a shoutout to Jaz and for always having my back through many chapters of my hair journey)
