Beautiful Curls

🌷A young lady, with kinky hair, grew up believing that her hair isn't beautiful! She was called names like "kulot" (curly), "Aeta" (indigenous people of the Philippines with kinky hair) which seems to be just words. But, believe me, in the Philippines' society, these are very offensive.

🌷She's in a susceptible age, and so, she had her straightened...sad. I wonder if someone ever told her she looked wonderful in her natural, dark, kinky hair.

🌷When I was young, I also believed that natural kinky hair is less beautiful. Were we made to believe that straight flowing hair is the standard beautiful hair???

Whatever reasons there maybe, it's time we break this culture or chain of believes on what beauty is.

🌷We are existing in a modern society where beauty is as diverse as it can be. It should never be standardized. Don't you think?
