“Straight hair is excellent hair, and wavy, curly, or kinky hair is “pelado malo,” or bad hair, if you’re familiar with the dynamics of a Hispanic household. Nowadays, things are improving for the better. However, textured hair is still not considered ‘normal.’

“That’s the trend now,” says everyone when asked why my hair is so big and curly. “I’m not a fashionista; I am my own brand. To put it another way, my hair is an extension of who I am as a person and what I stand for. It’s not just a part of me; it’s also a significant portion of who I am.” — Janibell Rosanne
