Sofia Richie reflects on her hair journey

Sofia Richie has reflected on her hair journey.

The influencer has reflected on her relationship with her hair, revealing that she grew up with a mother who made haircare a priority.

"My mom (Diane Alexander) is Greek, so she has very, very long hair and has always been very anti-hair dye - she's all about conditioning treatments and masks," Sofia told Elle in a recent interview.

"Growing up, I used to go with my mom to her hairdresser once a month and we used to do deep conditioning treatments," the 25-year-old continued. "So, my entire childhood, I was very pro-health for your hair and all about having long hair. I used to cry when I would get haircuts."

Sofia went on to explain that she spent her teenage years experimenting with different cuts, colours and styles.

"Then, when I hit my teen years, I was so deprived of doing anything to my hair. I had girlfriends getting highlights and haircuts," she told the publication. "I really went for it in a wild way, with probably not a great understanding of how harmful certain ingredients could be for your hair."

After years of experimenting, Lionel Richie's daughter has gone back to her roots and now focuses on taking care of her hair.

"So I definitely learned a lot in my teen years, experimented and played around, which has brought me to where I am now," she said. "I've been on such a serious health journey with my hair for the past five to six years, definitely leaning back on my mom's (tips) and everything I learned as a child."
