My #TreLuxeCurlStory
Although I've always known I had curly hair, growing up I hated it so as soon as I could I started straightening it. I didn’t like standing out in a crowd and straight hair allowed me to blend in. It wasn't until May 2018 when I randomly decided to let my hair dry naturally that I realised the damage I had done. My 3c curls were gone and I was left with barely even a wave. It was in that moment that I went onto Google and typed "How to get curly hair back" - Needless to say I fell down the rabbit hole! I devoured video after video and trawled through every website I could find.

I had images of doing my first "curly" wash and my curls springing back to life. It didn't even enter my head that this might be a long process. I purchased some products and away I went to the bathroom. Two hours later I was in tears. My hair looked exactly the same, dry, frizzy, not curly, not wavy, just limp and stringy. There was just so much damage that my hair wasn't going to play ball. As women our confidence is tied into our hair and in that moment I thought about just going back to straightening it. How was I meant to leave the house like this? My hair looked like fried noodles! I walked into the living room and my daughter who was 4 at the time looked up and innocently said "I like your hair Mummy" I just laughed but in that moment I decided that I was going to commit to getting my curls back. To show her that it doesn't matter if you have straight hair or curly hair, it's just important to embrace what God gave you.

About 18 months into my journey I discovered TréLuxe. I had been seeing these products all over and the reviews were amazing, however I was so worried about buying a non-drug-store product. What if I spent $14 on a shampoo and my hair hated it, just like it had hated every other product? I eventually caved and purchased the Curl Renew & Restore [Cleansing Rinse] and the Hi! Definition [Curl Enhancer Styling] Gel. I remember the first time I used them and I came on Instagram and wrote "Have you ever waited so long to try a product and then kicked yourself for not trying it sooner?"  My hair adored these 2 products and I was finally able to achieve consistent results and curls that I felt confident with. My scalp was happy, my curls weren't weighed down and were holding. I eventually added the whole line of products to my collection and to this day, if I know I need an amazing washday then those are the products that I choose. I can use their [products] and not have to touch my hair for 5 days. As a busy Mum that's a game changer! Being able to know what you're going to get at the end of a washday and then not having to think about your hair in the days following. It's one thing ticked off the mental load that women carry. I may have been worried about making a non drug store purchase but it's paid off with something worth much more than money.. Confidence, acceptance and a love for my curls. You can't put a price on that.
