After having done the hair of over 5,000 curly haired women, I can assure you that no two heads of curly hair are alike. Your curl pattern is absolutely 100% unique to you. This is one of the amazing things about curly hair that I find so exciting. I often listen to my curly clients tell me which of their curls they like and which of their curls they dislike and wish were different. I find this amusing because I think that all curls are great. Most people with 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A and 3B curls seem to prefer their tightest curls and dislike their loosest ones. Most people with 3C, 4A, 4B and 4C curls prefer their loosest curls and dislike their tightest ones. I believe that if you could form a circle of 100 curly girls and ask them whose hair they wanted, they would all point to someone and say “I want her hair!” Our mission at Devana Salon is to inspire and EMBRACE natural hair, beauty and spirit. Wouldn’t it be great if we all accepted our own God-given hair? I, for one, am glad that I still have the few hairs that I have left on my head. When a client tells me that she wishes her curls were different, I try to reassure her that she is lucky to have the exact curl pattern that she has. Wishing that her curl pattern was different is like wishing that she had a different fingerprint. “Be grateful that you have curly hair,” I usually tell them. “It could be straight, after all, and then you would really have something to complain about.” To me, all curly hair is beautiful. The fact that over 65% of the human population has curly hair shows that curly hair is a dominant gene. The reason there are so many curly haired people is because those with curly hair are having more babies. Do you know why this is? It is because other people find them attractive and want to have sex with them. If you have curly hair, any type of curly hair, whether it is wavy, curly, super curly or something else, please embrace your natural hair texture. Be grateful for your unique curls. And make more curly haired babies while you are at it.
