Rochelle Humes reveals heartbreaking reason she's going natural with her hair

Mum-of-two Rochelle Humes has revealed she's going to be rocking her natural curly hair from now on after her daughter Alaia-Mai heartbreakingly admitted that she doesn't like her own hair because "she didn't look like a Princess".

The Saturdays singer, who is a mum to Alaia, four and nine-month-old Valentina, admitted that her daughter's problem with having curly hair may be because she only ever has her hair straightened.

Maternity Nadia Making My Little Pudding Jumper, Boohoo, £18.

This one may be a little garish, but who cares - the point of Christmas jumpers isn't to look stylish, it's to look just a little bit tacky!

Another slightly garish jumper, but we love the Mama Elf slogan across the top! The slight fairisle pattern is on trend too.

Opening up to her 1.1million followers, she explained: "#GoingBackToMyRoots 🌀 My four year old little girl Alaia has been telling me for a while that she doesn't like her curly hair, at first (as us Mums do) I didn't think it was a big deal.

"Once I realised this wasn't a phase I asked her why she didn't like her curls. It broke my heart when she told me it was because she didn't look like a Princess, and I quote 'I don't Mummy because Elsa and Rapunzel have long straight hair'."

She went on to explain that, "It then dawned on me that maybe this issue started closer to home because, all she has ever known is her Mummy to style her hair straight, when in fact mine is naturally curly too.

"So moving forward into the New Year I've decided to finally embrace everything that makes me ME. She is already over the moon that we have 'matching hair'!!"

The 28-year-old star went on to add: "My curls are a far cry from what they used to be but, I'm hoping with less heat and a little TLC they will come back to life.

"So this is for you Alaia-Mai, Mummy's hair IDOL 🌀👸🏽"

Aww.

This isn't the first time the mum-of-two has spoken out about her daughter's hair, earlier this year she admitted she couldn't believe how different her daughter looks with straight hair.

She explained on Instagram, "After months on end of my little one begging me to blow dry her hair, I caved this weekend 💁🏽 I can't get over how grown up it makes her look 👀 She couldn't stop looking at herself in any reflective service 😂

"She said that she loves it and now has hair like her friends at school. So cute 💔 After her bath tonight her curls are back. She was devastated but, Mummy and Daddy are relieved #lovehercurls I wish my hair would still curl like it used too 💝"
