Since launching her hair care line, Flawless by Gabrielle Union, Union has opened up about the journey to accepting and loving her natural curls. 

In an interview with PEOPLE earlier this year, she said, “I went through a phase where I would leave my relaxer on so long, thinking the longer I leave this relaxer on, the straighter it’s going to be,” she shared.

“Cut to lesions, like open wounds in my scalp, trying to chase something that was unrealistic, and eventually probably in my mid- to late-20s I decided to give up my relaxer, and I went natural. By natural I mean underneath the weaves, extensions, clips and the hair color was my natural hair.”

Her dedication to protective styling has paid off, as now her strands are looking strong, healthy, and beautiful.
