My Beautiful Fluff

Brittany Washington started My Beautiful Fluff as a way to embrace her journey back to natural hair. During the transition, she wanted a t-shirt that demonstrated beautiful, colorful afros.

After remembering the affectionate nickname her mother gave her — Fluffy — Brittany made Curvaceous Curls the first design under My Beautiful Fluff. The brand carries sizes from L to 5XL and features designs meant to help women love and embrace themselves.
