I don't know who needs to hear this but your curls are gorgeous.

No they do not look less professional, no they do not look messy, no they do not look dirty, they look AMAZING.

When I was in School I used to straighten my hair daily because I hated my curls, I didn't like anything about them.
Then right about when I was 16-17 I stopped. After that i had almost 2 years of dammaged hair, wich was completely natural giving the almost 8 years of ironing. And then the magic happened my hair came to life and now I love it more than anything, not only because I like culrs but because it feels like myself. Straightening it know feels crazy, like why would I do that?

So if you are thinking of stopping ironing your hair this is the sign you’ve been looking for, DO IT, DO IT KNOW, the sooner you do it the sooner your hair comes back to normal healthy curly hair. You might have a bad streak, but don't give up its gonna be so worthy.
