Welcome, I’m Keri, and curating afro-queen.com has been my labor of love, where I share my journey, struggles, triumphs, and all I’ve learned about the crowning glory of Afro hair.
From childhood, my life has been a fascinating dance with my curls. My early years were filled with learning and loving every kink and coil that sprang from my roots. But the moment I succumbed to a relaxer’s promise, my hair story took a turn. I quickly noticed the difference in not only my hair’s health but how I felt about it.
My epic hair revival began when I moved overseas. Without the familiar comforts and products back home, it was time to experiment. The beginning was tough, but I pushed through, discovering potent remedies and routines.
I didn’t just learn how to care for my hair; I learned to fall in love with it all over again, pushing past previous perceptions and embracing my natural tresses with pride. Now, I’m excited to help you do the same on your own journey to hair enlightenment.
Embracing the Natural You
I’ve come to realize that each curl has its own language, a unique way of expressing our identity and beauty. Learning to decode this language wasn’t just about getting the right twist out or mastering the wash-and-go technique; it was about understanding the very essence of my Afro hair. My experience with a relaxer was a turning point. Once I saw the difference in my hair’s health and vitality, I knew there had to be a better way to embrace its natural state.
You’ll find out about how I navigated through the noise of hair care tips and societal beauty standards to finally arrive at a place of love and appreciation for my once-misunderstood curls. This isn’t just about finding the right hair care regimen; it’s also about rewriting the narrative of beauty to include the diverse tapestry of Afro textures that so many of us were born with. I had to unlearn the perception I had of my hair earlier in life and start anew. After all, our hair is an extension of our identity, and nurturing it is akin to nurturing ourselves.
Saying goodbye to chemicals and heat treatments was the best decision I ever made for my hair. Now, I get to share with you the tips and tricks that work for me, and hopefully, they can help you too. I want you to know that no matter the curl pattern or texture, your hair is unique, and it’s beautiful just the way it is. In my opinion, every curl is a silent proclamation of our heritage and individuality—let’s wear it proudly.
More Than Just Hair
Hey, it’s Keri again! Now that we’ve journeyed through my hair chronicles, let’s explore what else fuels my day-to-day life. Beyond the twists and turns of my luscious curls, I’ve developed a sanctuary of hobbies and personal interests that are just as much part of me as my hair.
You see, through embracing my natural hair, I stumbled into a self-care ritual that extends far beyond hair care. It’s about nourishing the soul, cherishing the moments of calm among the bustling days, and finding joy in activities that recharge my spirit. Knowing that balance is key, I carve out time for the things I love – whether that’s curling up with a good book, crafting, or simply taking a serene walk in the park.
My experience has not only been about perfecting my hair routine but also about building a community. A community where I can share heartfelt stories, practical advice, and laugh about the unpredictable moments of life. It’s a space where we celebrate the undulating journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and empowerment.
