MILLENNIA
Hairstyle: Braids
Time Taken: 5 hours
Hairstylist: Sam Roman
Growing up I was constantly told that I'd look more attractive with straight hair - basically having my hair in a Weave. I hated my hair so much as I thought it made me look ugly. I had low self-esteem, anxiety, and my hair became really unhealthy. The people I grew up with would usually say "Milly would be so peng (beautiful) if she had straight hair and wasn’t so black."
I reached a low point in my life where I ended up shaving off my hair. It was a blessing in disguise, as I was able to fight off my demons and learn to love myself. Now, I couldn't give a damn what you think. This is me. Accept it or Leave it!
