November 2010

i never wore my hair out when i big chopped. i grew my hair for about a year and then i chopped it off. it was too shocking for me to get over quickly because i felt it didn’t go with my face shape so i wore a sew in until it was long enough for me to wear out.

so though i’ve never experienced this, i get it. a twa can be a very beautiful and feminine hairstyle just like bambii is showing us it can be, but it’s also a style that lends to androgyny and our masculine sides and has to be played up for some women. [click to continue…]

i don’t think it’s a big secret that hair textures and the way that some people perceive them walk a fine line of discrimination. i have my own historical take on why this is and though i don’t want to go into a dissertation in this post, i’m, sadly, not surprised.

while browsing the tube, i ran across this video where bronzqt talks about how a salon owner she met courted her for her patronage though the owner charges more money to do kinky hair versus “biracial hair.”

hmmm…i see a problem here. first up [click to continue…]

never is a strong word. when i was little, i’d get into arguments with my big brother over him asking me to do something utterly ridiculous like polish his shell toe adiddas with that old school shoe polish. you know, the one with the sponge applicator that when used, put more paint on the floor [...]
