Frizz is what you will celebrate and thank when your hairs go on holiday. It is what will shield your scalp and allow you to wear flowers in your hair still. Curly is gorgeous and grey curls are the best. This take it from me like it is the holy truth. And I love it that you can write about it.

Loved this! As someone with curly hair who has been through a similar journey of hating it to embracing it, I could relate to your post a lot. Now I wouldn't have my hair any other way, haha!

Raju, the moment I read the title, I knew I had to hear this piece. I saw your face as I heard your story and felt all the emotions through all the stages. This is a journey of love. Loving your hair. A relationship that took the time it needs, defying the forces of the world, till a rhythm, a balance, a new way to accept was found. Thanks for writing this. I'm sending you and your curls lots of pyaar ❤️

What an ode to wayward, defiant, autonomous curls and beings ♥️

This needlestraight-haired person spent years perming her hair in order to be seen as wicked, kutri, untameable, unpredictable. Learning to accept my good-girlness and my decidedly noneccentric, unmoody hair after soaking in the luscious otherness of your beautiful essay ♥️
