Each bend & coil has a story, every strand & tangle holds a whole world of love. Our ancestors sing in every zig & zag of our textures. Messages of freedom, revolution, self-acceptance & love are carried in our crowns. We think of elaborate styles that signified our tribes & kinship in Africa; maps to freedom hidden in our braids; Frederick Douglass’ hair as an expression of prosperity & perseverance against all odds; Angela Davis & her afro as a symbol of pride & revolution. We think of when we were little—how loved ones poured oils & salves & love & care into our hair using the same ancient remedies that those before us used. The ritual of loving on ourselves & each other not only creates a sacred connection & conversation with our ancestors, it imbues a sense of pride in self & heritage into our children that they will pass on to future generations. Hair care is self care. And how we honor our hair is how we honor who we are & who we come from.
