Meet Salot. She was a young kid who was born with curly hair in a community where most people are accustomed to seeing people with naturally straight hair. Beauty is valued according to social norms. That if you're morena, you're not attractive, if you have curly hair they’ll say that having straight hair will look great on you, and if you're different, you should try to blend in. Growing up, I tried my very best to blend in, I even straightened my hair since people, especially here in the Philippines, felt too comfortable pointing out my “kulot” hair like it’s a bad thing I had to rid off. This just goes to show that name calling is simply not just teasing because these words made me so insecure. But now I am a woman who uses her intellect and passion to alter how society views beauty, that’s why I built Curlssential! To teach & provide products to curlies to help them feel confident with their natural self 👩🏻‍🦱 Swipe to meet Zahraa, who’s always here to help you feel good not just about your hair but you as an imperfect but capable person. #StopTheNameCalling #DovePH
