‘Going back to my roots’.

Rochelle Humes has often shared posts talking about how much she loves her daughter’s naturally gorgeous hair.

Little Alaia-Mai is blessed with a head of curly hair, however, as many young girls do, she doesn’t seem to like it at all.

Well, mum-of-two is now leading by example and is embracing her own curls to teach her daughter an important lesson.


Sharing a picture of her natural hair on Instagram, Rochelle said:

“Going back to my roots. My four-year-old little girl Alaia has been telling me for a while that she doesn’t like her curly hair, at first (as us Mums do) I didn’t think it was a big deal.

“Once I realised this wasn’t a phase I asked her why she didn’t like her curls. It broke my heart when she told me it was because she didn’t look like a Princess.

“It then dawned on me that maybe this issue started closer to home because, all she has ever known is her Mummy to style her hair straight, when in fact mine is naturally curly too.”


The mum went on to say that she is now starting a New Year’s resolution to embrace her own natural hair in the hopes of inspiring her daughter to do the same.

“So moving forward, into the NY I decided to finally embrace everything that makes me ME.

“She is already over the moon that we have matching hair!”
