Let's get this straight — the hair of most Indians falls on the textured hair spectrum. It may not be all tight curls, but it's also not poker straight. Most of us have some amount of wave in our hair. And yet society's beauty standards have convinced us otherwise. Curly hair has long been considered unruly, wild, untamed and unprofessional. In fact a recent study that surveyed close to 19,500 people across nine countries found that Indians who had wavy and curly hair, have reported higher cases of professional stress. Surprising? We think not.
Because we don't know enough about it, we don't know how to care for it properly. And if you think you're alone, you're not. Actress Taapsee Pannu is right there with you, "From struggling to comb them to trying to straighten them multiple times, I've really tested my hair for years because of lack of knowledge and help at that time. I cut my hair extremely short because I just didn't know how to deal with them. But curly hair has a mind of its own and if you fight with them they will fight back and the result won't be very pleasing to eyes," she says talking about the challenges she faced while growing up with curly hair. Since Pannu seems to have nailed her curly hair routine, Be Beautiful sat down for a chat with her to know all about how to care for curly hair.
