Does Harper like to play with different hair styles?
Yes, she chooses accessories with me: she likes to choose her barrettes, even those that aren't for kids, because everything holds on her head of hair! She also likes the famous headband, tied on top. So we can play with different patterns and colors. We’ve also tried little braids. Harper is quite curious!
Why is the hair care moment important between mother and daughter?
I've always had a lot of family discussions about hair. I remember that my sister and I used to spend hours in the evening on the sofa doing my mother's hair. These are unique and precious moments. My mother's hair is curly – so completely different from ours – and we learned to take care of it.
How do you learn to love your hair?
I think it's a question of gentleness. And freedom. I don't want Harper to be coerced, forced. I want her relationship with her hair to always be positive. If she wants to straighten it later, do some color, she'll test it out. What matters to me is that the hair products are healthy.
My daughter will do what she wants with her hair. That's how you get to know yourself, and be proud.
In New York, hair care is very important. There's an expression – to be taken literally – that says that the best thing is to get married to a doctor or to a hairdresser. Because here the hairdressing budget is huge! On Sundays, you can hang out in tracksuits and sneakers, but your blowout must always be impeccable. I have more of an au naturel hair approach. I like the idea of leaving it as it is.
