Hannah Pool Black Hair Documentary.

I saw this small documentary on Black hair by Hannah Pool. The link was posted on the Black Hair magazines Facebook page. It covers the usual discussions on identity and culture but alas it concluded it was about personal choice. I do feel more black women are informed about their hair these days. You simply just cannot tell a Black woman how she should wear or style her hair or whether its okay to wear weave or au natural. If she does not feel the choice is hers she will not care what you think.

DM comment about Beyonce

I saw this comment in the Daily Mail. It is a newspaper I read only to see who they and their readers are slagging off. Sometimes they do have interesting stuff to read about but that is as and when. Beyonce always features in the DM and the reader comments always centre around her skin tone and and the validity of her hair. We know she wears extensions as do many white women. Beyonce even has a video that shows how her hair is canerowed prior to a weave so I doubt she dislikes her hair. If I was a celebrity I would weave it up myself and let my hair be free when I am not working. Oh and the blond hair argument is so defunct. I have black friends whose hair is naturally blond. Not Beyonce blond but blond indeed. Anyway check out the comment. Someone made the comment and someone's has quoted them and responded. Interesting to see that white people are beginning to appreciate natural hair too but at the same time acknowledge a woman's choice.
What do you think? I for one note that they always say African American women. I for one am not American. But I understand what they mean.
