i grew up in Baghdad hiding my curls

then i became a curl specialist in NYC

then i found out that 4,000 years ago women from my homeland were adorning their curls with gold and their goddess Inanna, MY goddess, had flowing hair and zero apologies

i make content because i want you to feel what i feel, gorgeous, strong, connected to yourself in every single way

hey bestie ✨💕
ok so i used to think my curls were just bad. like genuinely thought i had difficult hair and there was nothing i could do abt it
then i realized i was literally doing everything wrong 😭
no gel. touching my hair every 5 mins while it dried. going to bed with wet hair. skipping wash days bc i was lazy. wondering why my curls looked dead lol
once i fixed these things?? completely different hair. same curls. just actually taken care of
swipe for everything i wish someone told me earlier 💕 save this for ur next wash day trust me

I’d also say about 3-4 months is good rule of thing to dust those ends off and get your shape back

The amount of times I’ve convinced myself I needed:

• a new routine

• a new gel

• a new technique

• a completely different approach

…when what my curls actually needed was consistency.

Curly TikTok can be inspiring, but sometimes it has us changing things that were already working 😭

Healthy curls are usually a little boring.

Same products.
Same routine.
Same techniques.

Again and again and again.

Be honest…

What’s the most dramatic thing you’ve done after one bad wash day? 👀

oiling my scalp, double shampooing, deep conditioning before i even get in the shower , these changed everything for me. and i’m putting ALL of it in my curly hair guide that’s dropping soon 👀

My hair has genuinely changed so much and I break down everything on YouTube
Covering scalp care and how to actually build a healthy foundation, length retention so you keep what you grow, and the vitamins and nutrients that support hair growth from the inside out. So excited to share everything

I love love love first time clients reaction to how curly their hair can get!!!

Healthy curls are usually the result of understanding texture, density, porosity, and choosing products that actually support the hair instead of fighting It. It’s so so so important to use the right technique and products for your hair type!!

I used to buy every product that worked for someone else’s curls… and wonder why mine never responded the same way. The answer was porosity. Once I understood mine, everything changed. Swipe through and find yours. 💛

If your curls are dry, frizzy, or just not responding to products , porosity is probably the reason. Swipe to understand your hair on a deeper level and finally shop smarter. 🌀
