Deriving strength, confidence, and a feeling of beauty from your hair is a profoundly human experience, whether you are a man or a woman. But systemic racism has tarnished that, teaching us that there is "good" hair and "bad" hair. Whether it's messages from an executive saying that wearing your hair curly at work is unprofessional or people who think it's appropriate to touch other people's hair uninvited, this episode is all about busting up the myths and mystery that surround black hair. Essence shares insight on how to care for black hair and Becky admits to being totally insulated from this issue growing up. And together they unpack the WHY surrounding the stigma of black hair, shed light on past scandals like Don Imus's infamous "nappy-headed hos" statement, and give a big shout-out to the beautiful animated short Hair Love.
