I\u2019ve always been envious of those with curly hair. It seemed so versatile and I loved the natural volume that was lacking in my bone straight hair. However, aside from a few perms in the late 80s and early 90s, curly hair and me were just not meant to be.<\/p>\n<h3>The Journey of Curly Hair Begins<\/h3>\n<p>When we had our daughter, I was so hoping she\u2019d get some curls from Frans\u2019 side. Munchkin came out with straight hair that would only get a slight wave when wet. It stayed that way until just recently. As soon as she hit puberty, her hair suddenly started to grow in curly! We noticed this about 1-1\/2 years ago.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"4\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/mIb5FrJ9O-\/\" target=\"_top\">Puberty is so weird.

Studies have found that only 4 out of 10 little girls think their curly hair beautiful and only 10% of women in the U.S. feel proud of their curls. That\u2019s so sad! To encourage all women and girls to love their curls, Dove Hair has started a new \u201cLove Your Curls\u201d campaign. The aim is to help women to love their curly hair and pass that on that confidence to their daughters.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Love Your Curls<\/em> book is tribute to those with curly hair. Dove Hair was inspired by thousands of stories of real women and, together with author Taiye Selasi and illustrator Annick Poirier, created this lovely collection of poems. The intention is to \u201crepresent and inspire curly girls of all ages.\u201d You can get the hard copy of\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1HHzSPF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Love Your Curls<\/a><\/em>\u00a0on Dove&#8217;s site, Amazon, or iTunes.\u00a0Or, download the free e-book at <a href=\"http:\/\/promo.dove.us\/loveyourcurls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/promo.dove.us\/loveyourcurls\/<\/a>.
