KIDS WITH CURLY HAIR: Embracing it & Loving it

As parents, we all want our children to feel confident and proud of who they are. And for those with curly hair, that can be a challenging task. Society has often portrayed straight hair as the standard of beauty, and as a result, many children with curly hair may feel self-conscious or ashamed of their natural locks.

But it's crucial to teach our children that their curly hair is beautiful and unique. We can start by leading by example and embracing our own natural curls. Show them that curly hair is not something to be ashamed of or hide, but something to be celebrated. It's why I embraced mine.

Encourage them to express themselves and embrace their individuality. Give them dolls, books, and movies that feature characters with curly hair, and point out famous people with curls, like Solange Knowles, Yara Shahidi, and SZA, who are all proud of their natural curls and embracing them.
