Imagine being a teenager in Greece, where a single haircut at 13 dramatically alters the way you perceive yourself. That's what happened to our dear friend Marilena, whose curly hair journey offers an uplifting story of self acceptance, especially after meeting Lorraine, who introduces her to the Curly Girl Method. Marilena’s candid recounting of her story not only speaks to the struggle of feeling “defective” because of her natural hair but also underscores the liberating power of embracing one’s true self.

In our Calling all Curlies segment, Evey asks the question many of us are curious about as we travel through the chapters of our lives. How do we keep the shine of our youth in our hair, without having to use damaging products or a blow dryer?Lorraine shares curl altering tips that people of all hair types will want to know.
