Simone Biles has shared her journey of self-acceptance regarding her hair amidst online criticism.
In a recent interview with Elle, the 27-year-old Olympic gymnast discussed how she has grown to “love” her hair despite past concerns about its professional appearance.
Following her marriage to Jonathan Owens last year, Biles faced negative comments about her hair on social media. She expressed disappointment that much of the criticism came from her own community, but she emphasized that she no longer feels ashamed about her appearance.
Acknowledging the challenges of maintaining her hair amid her demanding Olympic training schedule, Biles mentioned that social media has been a helpful resource for her beauty routines and self-care.
She highlighted that taking care of her hair has become a confidence booster for her, noting the importance of both physical and mental well-being.
Biles’ interview coincides with her upcoming participation in the Olympics in Paris, where she stressed the significance of maintaining mental clarity by limiting her time on social media, as discussed in a separate interview with Today.
Her journey towards self-acceptance and confidence in her appearance underscores her resilience as she prepares for the competition.
