In this episode, we have a heartfelt conversation with Mel Malebranche, exploring her family’s traditions around hair. We get an honest look at Mel’s journey as she embraces her natural hair while taking a deep dive into the history and realities of hair relaxers. We also hear from Abigail, a listener outside of Boston, seeking advice on maintaining healthy curls while swimming after a challenging operation.
