This photo of Corrine represents her transition back to natural hair. She paced herself through the process and took a year to learn how to take care of her natural tresses (including what products work best for her hair type and the benefits for her overall health). Corrine says, “Today I’m rocking a ‘fro, which is something I didn’t feel comfortable with a few years ago. I’ve grown to love me, which started with loving my hair! Going through this journey helped me realize I can accomplish even more.”

How inspiring is she? We definitely love how this Phoenix loves herself first. What courage! Thanks for sharing your story, Corrine. Keep shining!

Happy Friday. Love who you are fiercely!
