Gone are the days when curls and coils were seen as inherently unfashionable, or even unattractive, but there’s still a lot of catching up for society to do when it comes to celebrating and understanding natural hair in all its glory.

As a curly hair advocate, UK-based Hannah Mendez wants to do just that.

The content creator shares tips, tricks, and product recommendations for curl care on her various social media pages to try and help people get the very best out of their textured hair.

Aside from curls, Hannah loves to cover all things beauty too, from sharing her skincare routines to product reviews and recommendations for melanated skin.

When asked what the one product she can’t go without is, she had this to say…

“I saw everyone talking about African Pride Moisture Miracle Aloe & Coconut Water Pre-Shampoo product before I finally went out and bought it.

“When I did, all the hype made sense. I’ve been using it for the past year now and it will always be my go-to.

“I usually use it for emergency detangling on wash days as a pre-shampoo treatment when I have left my hair a little too long between washes.

“It really is a miracle product. My hair gets so knotty that I can’t even get my fingers through it, but this makes my fingers glide straight through.”
