Hairpolitik

"Perhaps no other aspect of culture is as readily politicized as hair. Throughout our history, black hair especially has been prone to political interpretation, functioning simultaneously as a battleground where we negotiate issues of identity with the broader world and a medium in the creation and projection of our own self-image; an opportunity to discover the liberating potential of self-love. What follows is a series of styles, made iconic by the sheer audacity of their creators; the audacity to be bold, to be fly, to be free." -Jameel
