Author: Curly Courtship

Hi, I'm a thirty-something, Arizona curly girl who moonlights as a storyteller about #momlife, curly hair and many random encounters along the way. Ultimately, my goal is to create a hair love affair for my sweet curly girl and my rambunctious curly boy. I didn't always appreciate my natural curls, in fact, during most of my college years I only wore it bone straight. I believe my hair is still recovering from that heat damage. Thanks for checking out my blog. I'd love to know what you think about my stories. Feel free to follow, react, comment and/or use #CurlyCourtship whenever you talk about your natural hair online. Gratefully Yours, Curly Fe

If you are like me, simply making it to the car in the morning is a miracle! By the time I drop my kids off at school in the morning, I swear I’ve lived a full day. A. FULL. DAY. I do my best not to get stressed out or make the kids feel rushed.… Continue reading Morning Glory

Raising Our Introverted Daughter

So both of my children have beautiful curly hair, want a dog and love music, but that is where the similarities end. The older they get, currently ages three and six, the more their personalities emerge as polar opposites. “I don’t know what’s wrong with these kids. One is super sensitive and the other just… Continue reading Raising Our Introverted Daughter

I Broke Up With My Flat Iron

September 24, 2017February 22, 2018 Curly Courtship

It's such a significant rite of passage that it should be one of those moments where you know exactly where you were and what you were doing at the time. Yet, I don't remember exactly how old I was when I got my hair hot combed (straightened) for the first time. High school-ish is probably… Continue reading I Broke Up With My Flat Iron

It Starts With Us

August 20, 2017August 20, 2017 Curly Courtship

My children are two and five-years old. They have an amazing life full of love surrounding them. They love their brown skin. They love their curls 🙌🏽! They love others. They don't know some people in this world will judge them solely based on those features. As their parents, it's our job to love them,… Continue reading It Starts With Us

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If that's true, what does this one of my five-year old tell you? She's tired? Bored? In deep thought? Nope, none of the above. Let me break it down for you. After a detangling and co-wash session the other day, this moment happened (and I just… Continue reading Classic Black Hair Moment

My Little Mermaid

She did NOT come to play, okay! 🏊🏽‍♀️ Mia says five weeks of swimming class will not mess up her curls! On Sunday night, I could not find her purple swim cap anywhere. We had just used it at my parents' house on the Fourth of July. I thought it may be hiding in the… Continue reading My Little Mermaid

Hair Today, Gone Tonight

July 7, 2017July 7, 2017 Curly Courtship

This is the story of Elijah's second hair cut. His first was in a real barber shop and the whole time he screamed and cried an adorable "NO THANK YOU, NO THANK YOU, NO THANK YOU". The. Entire. Time. Politeness always counts 😉. Anyway, the second time his hair grew out, my husband and I… Continue reading Hair Today, Gone Tonight
