I'm Paige.
I wrote How To Love Your Afro because for years, I didn’t know how to love mine.
I grew up hating my hair, sitting in salon chairs where no one really understood it, not in mainstream spaces, and heartbreakingly, not always in Black ones either. I cried, I covered, I tried to change it.
This book is the guide I wish I had: part manual, part love letter. It’s about the science of Afro hair, the practical steps to care for it, and the emotional healing of embracing what the world too often tells us to hide.
If you’ve ever struggled with your natural hair, or you simply want to understand and celebrate it more deeply, this book is for you.
About the book.
At fourteen years old, I begged my mum for my first relaxer, convinced that straight hair was my ticket to beauty and acceptance.
But what followed were years of damage, frustration, and a deep disconnect from my natural texture.
Wigs, weaves, and chemical treatments became my armour - until I finally realised I was hiding from my true self and real happiness in my own skin and natural beauty.
Now, as the host of Texture Talks, I have not only reclaimed my beautiful 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.
Inside, you'll learn:
- How language and mindset shape your relationship with your hair
- Actionable advice on self-acceptance and how to break free from Eurocentric beauty standards
- The best products, tools, and techniques to nourish your Afro
- The crucial link between hair health and diet and nutrition
- The importance of partnering with professionals, including dermatologists and trichologists on your journey
- And how to turn your hair care into self care
If you've ever struggled to love your curls, felt lost in a sea of products, or wondered if your natural hair was “enough,” this book is your guide. No matter where you are on your journey, How to Love Your Afro is your holistic, natural hair care companion to help you along the way.

REVIEWS
"We often hear that beauty is pain and Lewin lovingly examines the roots of this mindset. Hair has been politicised no matter how many people want to believe otherwise. How to Love Your Afro is the embodied and tender guide that every Black woman needs who is on her way home to herself. "
