This Family Shows How Hair Can Bring People Together While Letting Individuals Stand Out

By RYOT Studio

Adolescence is a time ripe for letting children explore and express their creativity before the demands and responsibilities of the world start to matter. But this life stage also comes with its share of identity realization and discovering self-confidence, as ideas around how a child should present themselves, the pressure to conform and traditional gender roles start to become more and more of a reality as they carve out their own paths in society.

However, some children are using their creativity, heart and imagination to figure out ways to express themselves and the different parts of their personality. This is being done with the help of supportive parents who are affirming their self-expression and encouraging them to show up in the world the way they want to.

Parents Ashley and Ellie have created a beauty-loving household where hair is a family affair and a big part of self-expression. Their daughter Sawyers love for hair experimentation is becoming a big source of inspiration for everyone around her, but Sawyer is also finding it to be a source of self-identification and self-expression as well.
