This is one of the most interesting topics I've done. We rarely talk about hair being an identity however, for Hayil, it's a daily routine to fix her hair. Instead of looking at the afro hair and being amazed by it, I went on to interview her all about it because it's just so different from my hair culture.
If you like this kind of topic, please let me know!
