After a lifetime of hearing my hair is tooooo textured, it’s funny to see that there’s a commercial for those who actually want some texture…

Kaywil,
The tide has turned indeed. People who used to think it weird, or militaristic, that my hair is ‘natural,’ now tell me how they wish their hair was like mine.
It’s nice, though. But I always walk away chuckling (though I encourage every woman who asks ‘how do i?’ to simply start…she’ll get used to it).

I am listening to “Addicted to Race” #63 and I wanted to say thanks for linking to me. I am glad that you blog about the intersection of race and pop culture.
Thanks for the hat tip too
