Curly Girls
Liz Fe Lifestyle was created with uplifting the marginalized in mind, including curly girls. This column was made to empower curly girls and keep women up-to-date on the latest curly girl trends, including the best curly girl influencers to follow for hair tips.
When originally researching for this column, there was so little quality content out there for curly girls. A big part of this problem is the fact that mainstream culture is geared toward straight-haired individuals. The other problem is that most curly girls are mixed and/or women of color. There just isn’t enough content for this specific market.
Being a curly girl herself, Liz Fe began this digital publication as a curly girl influencer. She promoted various all natural curly girl products that would have been beneficial to any curly girl just starting out and needing more direction. Liz Fe saw a need for more direction when other girls reached out wanting help with their own curly girl journey.
This column is an answer to that calling. We do the research and make product recommendations based on what has proven to work with other girls so you don’t have to. We recommend products, hair styles and basic coping skills for navigating your curly girl journey in a way that won’t leave you frustrated, drained and exhausted with the search for the “right” way to do your hair. There is no one fits all method for anyone but feel free to give our column the opportunity to make your life easier.
