Curly hair comeback

Women across Egypt are showing off their curly hair after years of straightening it to fit in with societal pressures.

Many women in Egypt can be forced at a very early age to straighten their hair to fit with what is seen as more European standards of beauty. A social media campaign which encourages women to celebrate their natural hair is growing momentum in the Middle East.

Yosr Abdel Bary from The Hair Addict said: "Natural hair is beautiful and is something to be proud of and to embrace."
