@channelnewsasia: Vijaiam Pushpanathan spent years struggling with her naturally curly hair. She started CurlyHeavenSG in 2021 to help others with their locks, including customers who had been bullied for their hair or turned away by hairdressers. She runs the home-based salon from her Yishun flat. But this arrangement has meant adjustments for her husband and son, who have had to give up some privacy and plan their routines around her appointments. Five years on, her business has grown to a point it has attracted offers from customers willing to invest in a commercial hair salon. But Vijaiam isn't ready to expand. For now, she wants to focus on finding peace. Catch her story on On The Red Dot. #cnainsider #curlyhair #homebusiness

I was bullied SO BAD for my curly hair. I hated it, I kept rebonding it and lost so much hair over the years. After 20 years, I’ve really started appreciating my curly hair. But even as an adult in my 30s, there are still people who make jokes about my hair.

I straighten my hair because I’m called country bumpkin from India in a nastier term …. For the past few years I’ve flaunted my hair and helped my other girls to do the same. Now the people whom i mest keep telling me I’m so lunch to have born with such beautiful curls.

Even till today, there are people still laugh at curly hair, calling it untidy and telling others to comb it neatly.
