Aisha Beau.“My relationship with beauty is an interesting one. At an early age, my mom would tell me how beautiful I was and taught me how to take care of my hair and skin. But when I ventured out into the world, I was often met with commentary on being too skinny and just ‘pretty for a dark-skinned girl.
My hair has always been very thick. When I was 7 years old, my mom relaxed it to make it easier to manage. I quickly learned how much society valued long, straight hair. I started to feel it was the only thing that made me beautiful. I spent a lot of time going to the salon or on my own ensuring it was always silky straight, so much so that when I got into my late 20s, I noticed my hair began to plateau. It wouldn’t grow past my shoulders anymore, and I saw a lot of breakage at the crown.
At first, I was so shocked by how much of my face I could see and didn’t know exactly how to style this new texture. I didn’t post any photos on Instagram for a month because I felt so uncomfortable not knowing what to do with my hair for the first time in my life. After a while, I knew something had to give. I decided to do this big chop, so I had to embrace it.
I started to experiment with different products and eventually found my tribe. From there, the rest has been history. In the process of loving my hair again, it helped me to love myself even more. To learn what works, what doesn’t—to be more patient, and embrace my natural beauty.”
