A mixed race woman embraces her afro hair with the support of SIX MILLION strangers

A mixed race woman brought to tears over her afro hair has recorded a moving diary showing how she learned to love herself - with the support of SIX MILLION strangers.

Hannah Connaughton, 21, said she's always been insecure about her curly locks, because she was bullied at school and is "visually white" but "has an afro".

After years of straightening her do, she had grown so insecure of her heat damaged tresses, she would get upset and struggled not to "feel ugly".
