Very often an indication of people’s background and ancestry, textured hair has for long been seen as different, unmanageable, unprofessional and unpresentable.

This mindset, still deeply ingrained, impacted several generations of women who felt pressured to look a certain way.

Coming from a diverse range of countries, backgrounds and ethnicities, women share their realities and reveal what it means to have textured hair in a society where the standard is otherwise.

Characterised by struggle, pride, misunderstanding or unconditional love, these stories define what it means to be different because of an element that is still seen as a condition for beauty: hair.
