The Journey
What inspired you to return natural?
My name is Sarah and I'm from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, a city in the North East of England.
If I'm being really honest, the main reason I decided to stop using my straighteners was that, like many others, I was trying to find something to keep myself busy during the pandemic, and going on walks wasn't cutting it. It started with "I can't go anywhere or see anyone so why bother doing anything with my hair" and a year later, looking after my hair is something that brings me so much positivity and happiness that I could never imagine going back to regularly using my straighteners or (ironically) curlers.
Watching my hair go from breaking off and damaged to healthy and shiny has massively helped my mental health and self-esteem, it has been like I'm finally realising that my hair always had the potential for curls, I just didn't know how to take care of it.
Through embracing my hair, I have been learning about curly hair, the origins of the curly hair movement, educating myself on the important history of hair and connecting with people around the world. Curly hair is a topic I could talk about for hours and I've still got so much to learn.
What were the challenges (if any) along the way of your healthy hair journey?
Like many starting to embrace their natural hair texture, I really struggled with understanding what my hair wanted. It would react completely different each time I washed it and that is still something that I'm working out to this day. No wash day is the same, but that is something that makes curly hair so unique.
What is your number 1 curl tip?
Your curls will never look exactly the same as someone else's, stop wishing it did and start embracing your hair as it is. Hair is as individual as the person whose head it grows on.

These products make my hair beautiful...I've never had "day two" curls before and I am able to wake up, refresh and go with gorgeous curls. I have truly tried it all and this is my stopping point. Love this stuff, thank you!
The products are amazing!! My hair was do soft and frizz free!! I love the curl mist really reactivated the curls I used to use water but found it really dried my hair out but this makes them luscious again!! I will be purchasing the bigger sizes and I adore the shower cap!!! Great to keep all your hair together while you leave the conditioner in. Very impressed . Only thing I wasn't keen on was the pump of the conditioner I ended up removing it to get the product out but no drama. The product itself is like I said gorgeous.
Pretty much the best curl enhancing products I’ve tried - but the bar is pretty low. Doesn’t give the results shown in the ads, but still miles better than anything else.
Lightweight on my fine hair as well as my baby’s hair!
I got a perm last year and bought this product to help moisturise my hair - and have kept on using it since! It deeply moisturises and is lightweight on my fine hair - and I even use it on my baby’s hair to help comb it as it’s very curly. It’s fantastic ! I don’t have to use much so it lasts for ages too. Also smells lush!
