Hair styles serve as a way to express one’s identity and beauty in Black Culture. Both women and men use hair styles to show one’s personal expression of who they are. More recently, Black women have began to embrace the natural beauty of their own hair, creating a new market for the hair care industry. I personally have been on my own “hair journey” cutting all my relaxed hair, to the root, and starting on my natural hair journey. I have learned to love and care for my kinky hair. You can ask almost any Black woman, and she will almost certainly have her own personal story or journey with her hair. From tight kinky coils to loose bouncy curls or waves, Black hair comes in so many different curl patterns. It has been used to oppress people, in fact certain hairstyles such as dreadlocks, are still not allowed for certain workplaces. I have even seen recently where a child was suspended from school for wearing braided extensions. I think we all remember what happened when Zendaya wore those faux lox extensions on the red carpet. For better or worse, Black hair can be a hot topic. I love my natural hair, it is a part of who I am
