Getting to the Root: Exploring Black Hair & Cultural Attitudes
The natural hair movement is huge with Black women opting out of chemical relaxers and wearing their hair natural, as we did when we made a statement back in the 60’s and 70’s.
However, this time around it has become a lifestyle change today and acceptance of authenticity. Many women who are going NATURAL today, unlike back-in-the day have adopted a healthier way of life in their diet and are taking better care of themselves. There will also be a series of Ebony Magazines (framed) on display the oldest one dates back to 1947 through the ’60’s.
