A Day in the Life of a Curly-Haired Model
As a model with natural curls, I’ve learned that my hair isn’t just a style—it's a statement.
Every curl tells a story. From high-fashion runways to editorial shoots and streetwear campaigns, my curls add a touch of individuality and softness that straight strands just can’t replicate. But behind the beauty, there’s a journey of love, patience, and learning
Growing up, I often felt pressure to straighten my hair—thinking it looked "more professional" or “easier to manage.” But the truth is, once I embraced my curls, I embraced myself. Now, my curls are my crown. They bring uniqueness to every shoot and set me apart in an industry that’s finally celebrating texture and diversity.
💧 My Go-To Curl Routine Before a Shoot:
-
Hydration is Key – I deep condition twice a week and never skip my leave-in cream.
-
Diffusing Instead of Air-Drying – It gives volume and bounce without frizz.
-
Silk Pillowcase Magic – It keeps my curls defined and prevents breakage.
-
Scrunch, Don’t Brush – I use my fingers to detangle, always.
✨ Styling Secrets on Set
I always carry my curl cream, a travel-size mist bottle, and a wide-tooth comb.

Sometimes hairstylists aren't familiar with curly hair care, so I speak up (respectfully) and guide them. Confidence comes from communication!
