For Aline, the hair transition process was not so complicated, as she knew that the end result would be worth all the effort. “I had total patience; we have a lot of help, we have a lot of cool cream, a lot of treatment for curly hair. There is also the curling iron, which helps a little those strands that are still straight. (…) It was a process that was part of this change, this new Aline, this return to the origin”, she revealed.

Erika Januza started straightening her hair at age 8.

It was not my will, but the agencies I worked for, brands that hired me, characters in soap operas or even family, but never mine!”, she said. For the actress, the hardest part was relearning how to take care of her own hair, as curls need other types of products. “When it takes shape, it’s too beautiful; comes a good sense of satisfaction and relief at the completion of the process,” she added.
