No matter if your hair is curly or straight, or if you have a lot of it or just a small amount, National Love Your Hair Day is for embracing what you've been born with. Created by Carolyn Aronson and her haircare company, It's a 10 Haircare, the day is for "people to love themselves, appreciate others and join together to impact change." It celebrates the uniqueness and diversity of hair—and humanity—and is aptly celebrated on 10/10.
On the holiday's first celebration, in 2017, the It's a 10 Haircare street team gave out 10,000 bottles of It's a 10 Haircare Miracle Leave-in Product in Times Square in New York City.
