Superstar Simone Biles is opening up about her journey to self-acceptance and embracing her natural beauty, particularly her hair. Despite being filled with beauty, brains, and pure talent, Biles has faced the pressure of trying to be perfect in the public eye, which has led to stress and self-doubt.
In a recent interview with Elle Magazine, Biles said she’s “finally learning to love my hair and the texture that I have and the styles that I can do.” Previously, she used to worry about her hair being considered “unprofessional.” However, she admits “I’m not embarrassed about it anymore.”
Biles revealed that she never had anyone teach her how to do her hair while growing up, always relying on professionals to style it for her. She even reflected on the criticism she faced, particularly on her wedding day in 2023, where fans commented that her hair looked unkempt.
“Most of the backlash we get is from our own community, which is unfortunate.” She went oj to further explain “I don’t really care if my edges aren’t smooth,” she added. “I never thought about my hair like the way other people see it.”

Now, despite the negativity she has encountered, Biles acknowledged that social media platforms have provided her with helpful tools and guidance to take better care of her hair and beauty routines.
In addition to her hair journey, Biles also shared her focus on self-care. As she prepares to compete in the upcoming Paris Olympics, she noted the importance of taking care of both her physical and mental well-being.
“I understand and realize I have to take care of my physical appearance as well as my mental,” she added.
