At fourteen years old, Paige Lewin begged her mum for her first relaxer, convinced that straight hair was her ticket to beauty and acceptance. But what followed were years of damage, frustration, and a deep disconnect from her natural texture. Wigs, weaves, and chemical treatments became her armour — until she finally realised she was hiding from her true self.

Now, as the host of Texture Talks, Paige has not only reclaimed her Afro hair but uncovered the deeper truths about self-worth, identity, and healing. How to Love Your Afro is more than a hair care guide—it’s a journey to unlearning mistruths and embracing your authentic self.

With expert insights from integrative psychotherapist Tasha Bailey, dermatologist Dr. Yvonne Abimbola, and colour and curl specialist for Revlon Professional, Rio Agor Watts, this book offers a holistic approach to natural hair, addressing both the emotional and practical challenges.
