Do All Women Just Hate Their Hair?
As Sigmund Freud supposedly once said, "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." And if you're a black woman, sometimes hair is just hair-not a political statement, or a clarion call about one's identity, or anything else but the stuff that grows out of your scalp. Except, of course, when it's not, as the New York Times recently pointed out. Chris Rock's upcoming documentary, Good Hair (in theaters in October), explores the black hair business and the money to be made from women who want straight hair at all costs.
Tyra Banks makes a statement without her weave.
"I knew it [the black hair business] was big, but I didn't know it was bigger than the music business," Rock told us (wow, neither did we). "I mean there's a lot of stuff that we just didn't have time to show. The wealth, the real I'm talking real people with their own 757's and jets-wealth that they acquired from working in the hair business." It begs the question: Do you think black women have any more complicated a relationship with their hair than other women? Or do we all just hate our hair?
