GRATEFUL FOR GRANDMA Robu said both of her parents have thick hair but most of her family members prefer to keep their locks short. She said seeing her mom and dad in their 60s has shown that genetics plays a key role in the thickness of her own locks. “My grandma had beautiful curly hair in her 80s, and I am so lucky to have inherited her gorgeous curls,” she said.
“My parents credit the health of their hair to good nutrition and are always ready to share health recommendations. “They’ve tried to keep straighteners away from me and my brothers and reinforced the idea that our natural hair is beautiful, which I’m very thankful for.” WONDERFUL WASHES Robu said she doesn’t need to wash her curls more than once every five to six days.

“I prefer how it looks down much more than any other hairstyle,” she said. “I also want to keep my curls looking nice and bouncy for as long as I can. “Putting them in a ponytail or a bun is guaranteed to stretch them and ruin my wash-day efforts.
“Besides that, I’m very tender-headed so any up-do for a long period of time will pull on my scalp and be quite painful.” Nowadays I find myself styling my hair with no hair brush, and I love the results even more. Cezara Robu She said many people are unaware of how damaging their daily hairstyles can be for their hair health.
