Everybody I am Tiffany Renee, I am absolutely in love with the versatility of black hair.

My last five years, I really grew to like love my hair step into like my black womanhood more because my hair was like a statement on site.

So that's my hair story.

Now, I want to hear some of yours.

So let's get into the nostalgia of black hair.

Like tell me about a time when you were younger and you had a meaningful moment or a meaningful person that helped you like shape your narrative around how you feel about your black hair.

Um well that's interesting and kind of multifaceted.

I think growing up in the south, straight hair was the big thing, like there was no natural hair 20 years ago when I was in college or or it was definitely forbidden when I was small enough to be in elementary school.

So it was always a situation where if you had to go somewhere, you always had to straighten the hair.

I went to the beauty shop like most of us like once a week or always for special occasions, but it was never something that I, So by the time I got old enough to really control my hair, I was like no, this isn't it, like very early in the game.

So at that time when my mom was sort of allowed me to kind of do my own hair, I was probably like first starting high school and this is early 90s, so like I washed my hair now and I wear it embraced and at a point in time, I would never have never have been seen outside in protective hairstyles.

At this point, child is part of the look.

Okay?

So if you see me with four Platz and the cap on, then that's what it is for the day and that's it.

So at this point in my life, like 25 30 years into understanding what hair is to me, I fully accepted whatever it comes in.

Like I'm not, I do not limit myself to what my mother or my father or my grandmother always wanted me to do in terms of representing what my hair should look like.
