At fourteen, Paige Lewin begged her mum for her first relaxer — convinced that straight hair was her ticket to beauty and acceptance. Years of damage, frustration and disconnect from her natural hair followed, until she realised she was hiding from her true self. Now, as host of Texture Talks, Paige has reclaimed her Afro hair and uncovered deeper truths about self-worth, identity and healing.
Inside How to Love Your Afro, Paige will teach you how to:
- Shift your mindset and language to transform your relationship with your hair
- Break free from beauty standards and embrace self-acceptance
- Choose the best products, tools, and techniques to nourish your Afro
- Understand the link between hair health, diet and wellbeing
- Work effectively with hair professionals
With insights from psychotherapist Tasha Bailey, dermatologist Dr. Yvonne Abimbola and Revlon curl specialist Rio Agor Watts, How to Love Your Afro offers a holistic guide to embracing your natural hair — blending emotional healing with practical care. For anyone who’s ever doubted their curls or struggled to feel “enough,” this is your empowering companion to self-acceptance and authentic beauty.
Paige Lewin is a journalist, presenter, and the creator of Texture Talks, the UK’s leading podcast dedicated to honest, unfiltered conversations about natural hair, identity, and self-worth. What began as a personal reckoning with her own reflection has grown into a cultural platform listened to by thousands globally. After years of relaxing her hair and shrinking herself to fit Eurocentric standards of beauty, Paige’s journey back to her natural Afro became a deeper act of rebellion, healing, and radical self-love. Her voice both sharp and soft resonates with those reclaiming who they are beyond the stereotypes. From live events to viral interviews, Paige has become a trusted voice for a generation navigating self-acceptance, representation, and joy. With wit, warmth, and unshakeable authenticity, she is rewriting what it means to love yourself out loud. Paige has written for Black Ballad, been featured in The Independent and on Good Morning Britain and ITV News.
