Rihanna and Beyoncé both launched haircare brands this year.Fenty Beauty; Cécred; iStock; Rebecca Zisser/BIRihanna and Beyoncé each launched haircare brands this year: Fenty Hair and Cécred.I have 3B/3C curls and tried the shampoos, deep conditioners, and curl creams from both lines.Fenty's The Homecurl was a clear standout, and I loved its notes of coconut, amber, and vanilla.In my 20-something years of life, my hair and I have been on quite the journey.Growing up, I always elected to have my hair pulled into a ponytail, in part because I hated having hair in my face, and also because I never liked the attention my curls brought from others, even though it was usually positive.
