We talked to lizzo about self-love, natural hair acceptance, and her new collaboration with Dove.
influencers become popular and the wave they started on social media, which showed her more and more people with her hair type. It also helped to follow other Black women with natural hair like hers who shared similar experiences. "When I finally, in the last few years, started to come to terms with 'this is my hair, it's not going to change, and it's beautiful,' I felt like I finally could say that I truly loved myself," she says.
Besides its pledge, the brand creates guided workshops developed with experts to help build positive self-esteem in children. On August 5, it launched My Hair, My Crown, its latest tool meant to specifically inspire confidence in children with natural hair . The 90-minute workshop features detailed activities targeted at children ages 11 to 14, which also help adults navigate beauty standards for natural hair.
Though she hasn't completed the My Hair, My Crown guide with any of the young people in her own life yet, she thinks it's perfect for guiding adults who have never tried to have conversations about natural hair with children. "I know how to have those conversations and I have that language, but a lot of people don't," she says.
"I used to just kind of lock my hair away, and I realized that was [like] locking her up in a prison. You can't thrive when you're locked up like that," she says. "So now I'll be like, let me take this style out and let me take this wig off and let her breathe. Let her expand." She does that in many ways, including pigtails and buns hairstyles, which are her favorite to do simply because they are cute.
