The Candidates

Take a quick look…

I would like to register for the Miss Kroeshaar 2009 election!

These are my details:
Name: Marleen “Marley” Ceder
Occupation: Educational worker
Age: 21 years
Place of residence: Almere
Why I think I am Miss Kinky Hair: I accept my natural afro and give my mini curls optimal care so that I shine in a natural way. That is the best and I think everyone should do that. Being natural is accepting your physical appearance just the way it is. By doing that you are as beautiful as you can ever be! 🙂

Hello, my name is Sheryl Mac Donald, I am 28 years old and I live in Rotterdam.

In addition to my profession as a civil servant, I am also the mother of two wonderful children.

I am participating in Miss kroeshaar because I have been natural for two years and would never want it any other way, I am very proud of my kroeshaar it gives me a huge boost of self-confidence, I wear my hair the way it was given to me 28 years ago, YES I have kroeshaar and YES everyone can see it. I also want to teach my children that kroeshaar is very beautiful, and that they do not have to pretend to be different. I think it is great that I am discovering more and more how and what else you can do with your hair, trying out (natural products except for my hair dye). I hope to become Miss kroeshaar because I do not want to be outspoken about (my head of) kroeshaar for a long time.

I am a 30 year old mother of 2 children, live in Rotterdam and work in a company that makes switches.

I volunteer as a group leader of about 20 children. In addition, I follow an entrepreneur course, to start a toy store with products

for all children in the near future. The store must be a reflection of the colorful Rotterdam society.

In 2004 I chose to give my hair its freedom and I am glad I made the decision. I can only say that I love myself. And I am so proud to see that my children are happy with their hair, they are happy with their skin color and body, so they are happy with their appearance. So far I can say I'am doing a good job.

My name is Amber Geukes and I am 28 years old.

I honestly still don't know exactly but…
I could say I'm the best but I'm not
I could say that I have the most beautiful hair but that is not true because there is always a boss above the boss! no matter how good you are at something.

I might be Miss Frizzy Hair because the description of the word frizzy sounds a lot like my hair!
curly hair the; o -hairs dense and fine curled hair

But what is perhaps even more important is that I love my hair I have learned to appreciate it of course I also have a bad hair day often enough. But overall I love my hair it's part of me and who I represent. I am proud of my curls and wish I could care for them with the very best products only the problem is always that I never know what is good for them and what is not.

In the shops they often have little or no knowledge of the products they sell and at the hairdresser they always say something different. I just want to know what is good for my hair and this election seems like a good start to find out. I just want to participate in this election and if I do unexpectedly become Miss Kroeshaar then I will proudly wear and propagate this title.

Age: 23
Place of residence: Vianen ut

Why do I think I'm Miss Kinky Hair:

Because I think I can inspire people to go natural. I can show how diverse frizzy hair is and that it is more than just dry and difficult hair. I used to have relaxed hair myself. Two years ago I decided to grow my own natural hair back. When I miss frizzy hair I want to inspire people to show their own hair and show that you are also accepted in society with it.

Occupation: Social, Educational Assistant. I work with young people between the ages of 6 and 16 in Amsterdam

I signed up for Miss Kroeshaar because I want to show that kroeshaar is also beautiful and true hair. If you spend the time and attention it makes who you really are.
And besides that, I find it fun and exciting to always take on fun and educational challenges.

I am Miss Kinky Hair because I love my hair. I used to hate my hair so much why couldn't it just be straight and long? I straightened it and dyed it and did everything to ruin it. After a few years I let the straight hair grow out but I still didn't know how to deal with it when I did some searching on the internet I came across all these hair websites where women with kinky hair had long beautiful hair. This gave me hope.

I tried a few little things I read on the internet and my hair improved a lot right away. Now it has grown from shoulder length to bra strap length in a few months.
I now also help other girls with their hair and give tips. I am so happy with my long curly hair now, it is a unique look.

Jossintha Cleopatra Wielzen, 33 years old, works at Salto Omroep Amsterdam as a production manager/secretarial assistant.

I am Miss Frizzy Hair because I have been wearing my hair as it comes for years and I am incredibly proud of it, despite opposition from my family a few years ago I persevered and ignored everyone with negative and stupid comments with my Afro head held high.

My hair is my hair!!! And I love my hair more every day. My big examples are the ladies from the 70s Pam Grier, Cleopatra Jones and all the ladies who wear natural hair. I have also explained in my circle of friends and girlfriends why it is important to leave your hair alone! Even my sister (miss weave / straight) is convinced and wears her hair beautiful and natural and even my mother and brother. Yes it is a mission to wear your hair like that hhaha. In the industry where I used to work (4 * hotels) I had to defend my hair several times and always wore it as I wanted stylish, to wild so long that people had to accept it, after all it grows so beautifully from my head!!! I don't have to make a statement for my hair it is there...

Through the newsletter I learned about the Miss Kroeshaar election and I would like to participate if that is still possible! My dreads have given my life so much joy and I would like to inspire other women with my appearance as other women have done for me, for which I am very grateful. They have made themselves visible in a beautiful way!

I think I am or could become Miss Frizzy Hair because I have never really cared about what others, strangers who don't know me, think of my hairstyle.

Even though the temptation was great, I still chose to wear my hair the way it is.

The reason I participate is to make others aware that you don't have to be ashamed of your hair if it is frizzy, that it is not inferior to other hair types and that there are so many possibilities to wear frizzy hair, so also chic but that many of us do not know or consciously want that. I have not had all hairstyles by far, so I am also trying out. I may not always dare to sleep on it and see myself with the hairstyle. And even though wearing frizzy hair as it is, is not equally fun, beautiful or acceptable for everyone, I have to accept it first if I want others to accept it as it is. And not keep trying to change it and see it differently (smooth or combable) than it really is. I do not have children yet but I do intend to be as persistent as my mother. I especially think that a frizzy hair hairstyle should not or may not determine the rest of my character traits, which happens more often. So away with that (narrow-minded) thought, because frizzy hair can be combed and worn with pride.
