I would question myself: I would never put myself down, so why was I being so abrasive towards my hair? I learned to embrace my hair and new growth of curls and found beauty in every ringlet. It is funny to me that now I prefer to stand out than blend in. I wanted to fit in as opposed to stand out. I did find during my university years, I struggled with embracing my curls in comparison to other south Asian girls who had silky, straight hair.
The road to recovery from excessive heat damage to restoring my curls, which I love to call “my locks of love”, made me realise how unique my hair is and is a part of me. My mum used to have the most beautiful curly locks I ever did see, but growing up, I could never achieve what she had. It was actually my dad who encouraged me to love my natural hair. Growing up, I used to straighten my hair everyday and sadly lost my curls in its entirety due to heat damage. Apart from my love of Sri Lankan Tamil food - I love the culture, colours and curls my motherland has given me. I’m a Sri Lankan island “gyal” (haha!) born and raised in London, UK. My Instagram ( ) is my little page of all things curly hair related from sharing my tips and tricks, hairstyles, products and little snippets of my personality and quirks.įor example, curly hair meets hat hair? I’ve got you covered with 5 hairstyles to rock snapbacks galore… Something a little different from my usual blogging of human rights issues and current affairs…during lockdown I embarked on a little venture of embracing and helping girls around the world learn to love their curls!
