Gabrielle Union On Raising Her Children To Love Their Hair

Her haircare line relaunches in August.

Gabrielle Union is doing her best to make sure her children fully love themselves, especially when it comes to hair.

During an interview with PEOPLE, the multitalented star reflected on when she was eight years old and being the only Black girl in her school.

Starting August 3, she is relaunching Flawless by Gabrielle Union on Amazon. The line debuted back in 2017.

The 47-year-old told PEOPLE she wants to make sure her 20-month-old daughter Kaavia and step daughter Zaya, 13, don’t feel the same desperateness to be like someone else that she did when she was a child.

“Your hair is a part of you and it's an extension of you, but it has to start with self-love and pride in your Blackness and Afrocentric features, whether that be your hair, your nose, your lips or your body,” Union explained.

Union also added that her and husband Dwyane Wade “are constantly reaffirming our kids, especially now, when there are so many external forces that are anti-Black. It is always pride and live your best life and live your best Black life. And let your curls do what they do.”

The line will feature 12 products from cleansing to styling and range from $4 to $10.
