International Women’s Day Quotes: Our Editors Around the World Talk About their Relationship With Hair
How often do you wear your hair natural?
Quite often, especially in the past year. I used to style my hair with hot tools, now I even bought a styling foam for air-dry waves! I want to enhance my texture. -Fernanda Kuri, All Things Hair Mexico. Practically every day I wear my hair naturally. I only use heat on it a few times a month. -Caitlin Reddington, All Things Hair US. Almost every day! I usually let my hair dry naturally, but when I’m doing a Livestream on a weekend, or when I’m recording a video for my YouTube channel, I blow-dry my hair to make it look smooth and to give it a nice bounce. -Katherine Lopez All Things Hair Philippines. While I’ve been in quarantine, I’ve worn it natural nearly every day! I usually wear wigs and protective styles like box braids, but I haven’t been able to get my hair done as salons are closed. -Amra Markic All Things Hair UK. If you are focusing on wearing your hair natural, give it a boost with an air-dry product that will get rid of frizz. A product like Suave Air Dry Cream Heat Free Styler will help give you the best natural hair finish. It tames frizz and enhances your natural texture–without a stitch of heat!
International Women’s Day Quotes About Which hairstyle empowers you most?
I feel most empowered with lots of volume in my hair. My hair is naturally thick and wavy and embracing that part of my DNA and heritage makes me feel most myself and most empowered. -Miriam Herst-Stein, All Things Hair US. A low bun always makes me feel put together and formal. -Olga Nebodezhkina, All things Hair Russia. I feel the most empower when I do a top knot. There’s something about this hairstyle that reminds me of the Samurai. I love how it shows my face, accentuates my bone structure, and takes the hair out of my face. I usually wear this hairstyle when I go to industry events and need to be fierce. -Milena Prinzi All Things Hair US. I love long box braids and feel that they empower me the most, they make me feel so in touch with my culture and are so versatile to style. They are also protective, which is the best thing about them! -Amra Markic.
If you knew you’d never be judged what would your dream hairstyle be?
If I wouldn’t be judged and I had the bone structure for it, I would rock a pixie.-Miriam Herst-Stein. I’d wear a bob forever! Or pastel hair, maybe pink or lilac. -Fernanda Kuri.
Do you feel your hair is a strong part of your identity?
Yes! Despite having different lengths, styles, and colors, my hair always shows that I’m half Asian – and specifically that, not totally Asian. I love it! It’s part of who I am and my family’s history. -Erin Mizuta, All Things Hair Brasil. I love the mixture of soft and hard. It looks great on other women, but I’m working on believing that it looks great on me too. -Milena Prinzi. I would color my hair purple, whether as streaks or as peek-a-boo highlights. I think purple goes well with my naturally dark hair, so the result will be a quirky but also quite sophisticated look. -Katherine Lopez. Is your dream style a color you’ve been too nervous to try? Go for it! A new color could be the confidence boost you’ve been looking for. Maintain a new color with the right shampoo and conditioner duo. TRESemmé Botanique Color Vibrance & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner is a perfect duo specifically designed for colored hair. If you take that leap into a new color, don’t forget to add this to your hair care routine. My hair is a huge part of my identity. As an Orthodox Jewish married woman, I cover my hair with a wig or scarf when I leave my house. This choice reminds me of my commitment to my marriage and my religion and the belief that hair is holy. When I’m home, I uncover my hair, spray some dry shampoo for volume, and wear it naturally wavy. My hair reminds me of my heritage and the legacy of a long line of Jewish women before me both when it’s covered and when I’m wearing it out at home. -Miriam Herst-Stein. Absolutely! Everyone always comments on my auburn hair and red highlights. It’s a trademark of mine and it’s the reason that I have never colored my hair. I’ve loved embracing my natural color and appreciating how unique it is! -Marisa Haber, All Things Hair US. Yes! My hair matches my mood, so whenever I’m feeling discouraged I try to color it or style it. Having great hair is more than a trendy hairstyle. It empowers me to be and feel better. -Soe Kabbabe.
