Hi! I’m Barbara. I started my hair journey back in 2015 when my hair was severely damaged from heat tools and color treatments. It wasn’t easy adjusting to life with damaged hair and waiting until my healthy curls reached a length I was comfortable with but definitely well worth it. I never knew my hair could look like this. Now that my curls are thriving and in their healthiest form I can proudly say that my curl type is 3c with high porosity. Let my curly hair page inspire those of you who are beginning you natural hair journey, for motivation to stay on track, and see how some of the best hair products work with my curls.
