About Me

If you know me at all, you know how much the "about me" page isn't really my jam.

It's never really about me, it's about you. The whole reason I started this "curly" gig, was for you.

And.... because I moved to the rainy PNW, and ....because I got lazy in my old...ish age and... i can't keep fighting it anymore. 

It's about acceptance. Embracing. Being ok with. Maybe fall in love with. 

It's become so much more than just about the hair though. 

Right up there with body image, I've found this struggle with the hair you were born with, to be daunting for most.

The quest for "perfection"....not pretty enough syndrome...it's not professional...it makes my face look fat (my personal projection)...it's too poofy...I hate the frizz...I'm not lovable...I'm not valued...and on and on it goes.

It reaches far beyond just what your hair looks like. We start internalizing these thoughts and beliefs about ourselves.

I know, because I've fought it my entire life.

This is why I'm so passionate about teaching you how to properly care for your hair. 

It may seem like such a simple thing but it can have a profound ripple effect.

It's been said many times that the best way to overcome your own struggles is to help others.

If I want to be free, I will help YOU be free.

If I want to change, I will help YOU to change.

If I want to accept and embrace my own beauty, I will help YOU to accept and embrace your own beauty.

Help me, help you...(picture me saying this, in my sweats, in the kitchen...dancing around like Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire or just picture him since he's much hotter than I) 

Above all else, remember this...

It's not about your hair, it's about your life. 

Love,

Atoya
