The narrative around curly hair in the Middle East is slowly changing, though more needs to be done to shape and empower individuals to embrace their naturally curly hair.

In Her Mirror captures curly hair through the several different lens. This series speaks to women redefining beauty standards and embracing their natural hair texture in the UAE and wider GCC.

Where Curls, Mirrors and Identity Collide

Each episode of In Her Mirror begins with a simple act: a woman facing her reflection. Through intimate stories and striking visuals, the series explores how curls and mirror shape identity, belonging and beauty in today's Middle Eastern curl culture.
