BLACK EXCELLENCE! Tia Mowry Speaks Out
Tia Mowry is getting real about something many women can relate to the struggles of embracing natural hair. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the actress and entrepreneur opened up about the challenges both she and her sister, Tamera Mowry-Housley, faced in the entertainment industry when it came to their curls.
Pressures of Hollywood
According to Tia, the pressure was always there. Hollywood had its beauty standards, and natural curls were not often part of the picture. To “fit in,” Tia revealed that she and her sister regularly straightened their hair for auditions, press, and roles. While it helped them navigate an industry that often favored sleek looks, it also meant pushing aside their natural textures.
A Heartfelt Reflection
“From embracing our natural curls to trying to mold ourselves to fit society’s beauty standards, it hasn’t always been easy,” Tia shared. “When I finally got to a place where I was honoring my natural hair, there weren’t many options, especially anything that was all-natural, affordable, and worked well on all textures.”
Introducing @4ubytia
That honest reflection is now fueling her newest venture, @4ubytia, a natural haircare line created to provide exactly what Tia felt was missing. The brand promises products that are all-natural, affordable, and effective for every hair type, with the goal of celebrating curls, coils, and everything in between.
A Personal Mission
For Tia, the line is deeply personal. “It’s not just for my younger inner child who needed it,” she explained. “It’s a line that celebrates and honors the journey.”
Fans Show Support
Fans have praised Tia for being transparent about her struggles, noting how refreshing it is to see someone from Hollywood openly discuss the real pressures Black women face in beauty spaces. For decades, Black women in the industry have spoken out about the lack of stylists who understand textured hair, the absence of inclusive products on set, and the constant battle to be accepted as they are. Tia’s candidness only adds to that important conversation.
A Movement of Empowerment
With @4ubytia, Tia is aiming to fill the gap not just with products, but with representation and love. Her brand is a reflection of growth, moving away from conformity and toward authenticity.
Healing Through Haircare
As one fan commented under her announcement post, “This isn’t just haircare, this is healing.”
And that is exactly what Tia Mowry is bringing, a movement that honors natural beauty and empowers women everywhere to embrace their true selves, curls and all.
