"There is a social movement happening in our country right now with natural hair. In Brazil, 64 percent of the population is black, but we had no cosmetics for black people until five to 10 years ago. We always had to relax our hair, or try to mix one cream with another to see if it could work with our texture. Now women are wearing it more natural. I believe it's this globalization of the movement that's helping us love ourselves and the way that we are. The companies are now looking at this too and are providing us specific creams for us.
My hair is curly, but I prefer to use creams [targeted] for afro texture. Salon Line, it's a Brazilian brand, is the best. They have different types of creams for different types of curly hair. I use the blue line (like the Salon Line Definidor de Cachos Bora Definir ($23)) because I want my hair to look more afro and if I use anything else, it will weigh down it down."
