We already have the thread about hair, but that one is much more focused on one style and not hair in general.
Hair is one of those things that are often overlooked when it comes to a culture, so I was wondering about other peoples views on their hair. Is it just hair, an additional way to express your creativity, or a way you express your culture?
For me, my hair isn't just hair. It's part an expression of freedom and creativity, and part an expression of pride in my heritage. I love being mixed, that my father's family is predominantly Black. I love that my maternal grandfather was half Indian and maternal grandmother is mostly Jewish. Twisting my hair, braiding it up, pressing it once in a blue moon and letting my Khmer cousins style it in traditionally Khmer styles if they want. I love doing all that stuff. Right now it's in the first wash n go I've worn since Christmas, and I'm loving my fro.
Pull up a chair, and lets talk hair.
