“I was following @naturallycurlykids and saw your amazing invention—the Hair Plop! I loved it so much I bought another one.”

🌸 Meet Dana — 10 Years Embracing Her Curls
What was your curl journey like before MoonstoneSeven?
“I loved my curls, but I didn’t know how to care for them properly. I thought curly hair was one-size-fits-all. MoonstoneSeven opened the door for me—it introduced me to the curly hair community and taught me how to really care for my hair.”
Where did you find us?
“Instagram.”
What’s your current favorite product?
“I used to be all about the Plop, but now I’m obsessed with the Hydra Hold Gel. I’ve tried countless gels and never found the perfect one until now. I can even skip cream and still get amazing results.”
How have MoonstoneSeven products changed your routine?
“I’m so much more intentional now. Caring for my curls used to be an afterthought—now it’s something I’m proud of.”
What’s one thing you’ve learned?
“What works for someone else might not work for you. Once you realize it’s trial and error, it becomes fun instead of frustrating.”
How does having healthy curls make you feel?
“I remember as a kid feeling self-conscious about my hair. Someone once told me people pay big money for hair like mine, and I never understood why—until now. I’m so proud of my journey and I love my hair. It’s boosted my confidence and connected me to a curly hair sisterhood I’m grateful for.”
Any advice for those just starting out?
“Don’t give up. It takes time to figure out what works. And no two wash days will look the same—that’s part of the beauty of curly hair.”
