We are changed by what we see. Just as we are changed when we are seen.
Natural curly and Afro-textured hair is rarely ever seen in the cheer industry social media, let alone cheer brands. To many, this may seem unimportant but trust me when I say, I have had many chats and messages from athletes, coaches, and parents whose athletes have non-straight hair, who feel like they don’t belong or need to change themselves to fit in.
The lack of representation can be detrimental to these athlete’s mental health and may cause a self-hatred that can take years to heal. Please remember you are beautiful. Your hair that grows out instead of down is beautiful. Your Naturally, curly and Afro-textured hair is elegant and there is nothing on your body that you should be ashamed of especially not your hair.
Here is a hair tutorial on how to get the perfect Afro for a cheerleading competition.
