Ladies of Venezuela, step away from your hot tools! President Nicolás Maduro is addressing the country's crippling energy crisis [1] in every way possible — including female beauty standards.

Though unruly hair is often unfairly considered "pelo malo" [2] in Latin America, President Maduro wants to see more women embrace their natural texture in the spirit of saving valuable resources. "I always think a woman looks better when she just runs her fingers through her hair and lets it dry naturally," he cheekily offered [3] after recommending that women only use a hair dryer on "special occasions."

It's unclear whether this will really help save the country from future energy-related issues, but it's a great excuse to finally embrace and rock your natural look. Need some inspiration? See our guide to fighting frizz [4] and all the latest Spring hair trends [5].
