4c is a pest. We treat our kinky mane with love and respect, but does our hair love us back? We spend a fortune on enough products to open a drugstore, and our hair rebels back no matter how hard we try to tame the monster. We resort to chemicals in a bid to make life easier, only for bigger problems to surface. Yet you can’t part with the hair you’re born with because it’s you. A struggle I face everyday single day, as do many 4c sisters.

This is my story. One day, we shall win.
