What nobody told me about curly hair after 40: - It may need more moisture. - It may need new products. - It may behave differently than it used to. But here’s what nobody really talks about: Your curls aren’t failing. They’re evolving. And you’re not alone! What’s something you wish someone had told you sooner about your hair?
