How to Love Your Afro: Your Holistic Natural Hair and Self-Love Guide – From the Host of the Texture Talks Podcast

“More than a hair manual – it’s a mindset shift.” Zeze Millz
“The embodied and tender guide that every Black woman needs.” Kelechi Okafor

At fourteen, Paige Lewin begged her mum for her first relaxer – convinced that straight hair was her ticket to beauty and acceptance. Years of damage, frustration and disconnect from her natural hair followed, until she realised she was hiding from her true self. Now, as host of Texture Talks, Paige has reclaimed her Afro hair and uncovered deeper truths about self-worth, identity and healing.

Inside How to Love Your Afro, Paige will teach you how to:
– Shift your mindset and language to transform your relationship with your hair
– Break free from beauty standards and embrace self-acceptance
– Choose the best products, tools, and techniques to nourish your Afro
– Understand the link between hair health, diet and wellbeing
– Work effectively with hair professionals

With insights from psychotherapist Tasha Bailey, dermatologist Dr. Yvonne Abimbola and Revlon curl specialist Rio Agor Watts, How to Love Your Afro offers a holistic guide to embracing your natural hair – blending emotional healing with practical care. For anyone who’s ever doubted their curls or struggled to feel “enough,” this is your empowering companion to self-acceptance and authentic beauty.
