Latinas are known for their long beautiful hair and it just doesn’t come from good genes. Great hair takes a lot of patience and good maintenance. Leslie Grace, the “Princess of Bachata” has beautiful long hair, which is actually naturally curly and she shares some tips on how she keeps her hair healthy.
The Dominican singer has naturally curly hair and even though she loves living in Miami, she hates what the humidity does to her hair. Luckily, she travels with her mom which helps her maintain her hair healthy and beautiful.
The singer is always seen rocking different hair styles, whether flat and straight or letting her natural curls frame her face. “I’m always straightening my hair with a flat iron, adding a lot of heat and hairspray, and my mom hydrates my hair with various products, cuts my split ends, because it’s difficult to do my job and maintain healthy hair,” she says.
She doesn’t wash her hair every day, but she does follow a healthy night-time routine for her hair. She pins her hair up before going to sleep that way when she wakes up it won’t be tangled or damaged. “I love Moroccan oil, which gives a lot of moisture to the hair,” she says.
Even though she has beautiful curly locks, she recalls how she didn’t like the natural texture of her hair. “When I was 13 or 14 years old, I was a little insecure because all the girls had beautiful straight hair and I would dream of waking up in the morning and not think about what I had to do with my hair.” That’s when she realized that all of the straight-haired girls wanted to have curly hair like hers.
“I can wash it and have an Afro, and the next day I can blow-dry it and have it straight,” she says. “I think we all have to love what God gave us and use it because that makes you unique.”
