Reasons to Love Your Kinky Textured Hair!
I, for one, am a lil more than tired of hearing women with kinky textured hair complain about all the things their hair can’t do all while panting over the looser curls of another natural.

Is there any way to change the perception of naturally textured hair for these little beauties? #LoveYourCurls, the latest initiative by Dove, aims to do just that. The bottom line: Love your curls and they will too! When this video came up in my Facebook feed the other day, I watched immediately and knew I just HAD to share! It may be the preggo hormones (LOL!) but it had me tearing up. Simple beautiful! Watch and see if you don’t feel the same… What stood out to me is that a full range of curls are represented from loose waves to tightly-coiled kinks.
