A Tik Toker went live a few weeks ago to voice her boldly outrageous opinions about natural hair as it relates to femininity, men and beauty.  The woman who goes by the name @theblackshea on Tik Tok probably didn’t realize that her opinions on black women and natural hair would be discussed at such a viral level.  The Tik Toker stated in a video last week that she personally feels prettier wearing straight wigs and extensions that are made with hair from other races.  She even went as far as to admit that she knows that her personal belief about her appearance stems from internalized self-hate.       What Influences Attitudes such as the One TheBlackShea Displayed? One of the most outrageous comments that the Tik Toker made is concerning her belief that black women do not look feminine and pretty with natural hair.  TheBlackShea was honest enough to confirm that her beliefs about her appearance stems from a place of self-hate.

Afro textured hair was often viewed as a cultural and spiritual symbol in ancient African civilizations.  Kinky hair was also seen as a reflection of physical beauty in ancient African circles. The popular R&B song with lyrics, “I am not my hair, I am not this skin, I am not your expectations, no” probably would not have rung true for ancient humans in these circles.  To them, hair was a physical embodiment of who they were and all they hoped to be. Their hair was an outer expression of their social and relationship status in society.  Certain hairstyles reflected age, their connection with the divine as well as the power that was imbued within.     During the historical days of slavery, specific cornrow braid patterns were created by slaves to provide roadmaps that illustrated pathways to freedom (Vargas, 2003).  Those enslaved would use cornrow braids to hide maps and to give directional guidance to other slaves concerning how to escape regions in t...

Country music artists Mickey Guyton, Brittney Spencer and Madeline Edwards performed a rendition of "Love my Hair" at the CMA Awards in 2021.  It is a beautiful song about embracing the hair that we were given and finding freedom through self love and loving one's natural hair.   The song was inspired by Faith Fennidy, a young African American girl who faced hair discrimination while attending school in the south.  She was prohibited from wearing braids in the classroom by the school's principal, who gave her a week to remove them or face expulsion.   Watch as Mickey, Brittney and Madeline perform this iconic and inspirational song while stylishly sporting BIG curls and fros. Lean back and listen to the soothing sounds of these black country music artists:

Some of you may know this talented singer and songwriter as Priscilla Renea as the artist would regularly perform using her birthname.  Muni Long had worked in the industry for over 10 years behind the scenes as a songwriter before she decided to reinvent herself.  She wanted a fresh slate and to also be able to garner the same feeling that an unknown artist has before they break out with a number one hit.   Recently on the Jennifer Hudson show, Muni Long provided further explanation surrounding her name change.  She read about an ancient Indian sage named Muni.  Sages are individuals who come to understand the reasons behind existence through self-realization.  Muni discussed the name she saw with her husband, and with his encouragement, he suggested that it be pronounced as “money.” In the interview, Muni Long stated that it was also an affirmation for her and a play on words.  She wanted her money to be long!  It certainly worked!
