8 Beauty Lessons We Learned From the Mother Figures in Our Lives

"My mother molded my beauty ideals. One of the biggest beauty lessons she taught me was that it is important to get to know my hair texture. 'Not everyone's hair texture is the same, and how you care for your hair will be different from your classmates,' she would remind me. For my medium-coarse waves, she always emphasized the importance of masking and making sure they were hydrated." — Jesa Calaor, assistant beauty editor
