Obviously culture has given a stigma to weaves and wigs… I’ve thought about this a lot and I think it’s a way to shame women and deny a person beauty by saying that’s not actually your hair, you don’t actually look like that, and your beauty itself is a lie. It’s also something that’s stratified on racial lines because white women wear weaves and wigs on TV all the time. Black hair is fraught with discussion about acceptability and whether you can go and be a corporate lawyer and have an afro or dreads. Sometimes it feels like you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. For me, I just want to try everything. I see it as another way I get to express my identity and style. I think my natural curls are great, I just also like to play with it.
