"Ooo girl you got that good hair!"

Welcome to my Blog

I can't get enough of this idea of "good hair". There seems to be some kind of standard in the black community of what "good hair" is and if you don't have it you better hot comb it, relax it or weave it up until you do.

What is "good hair"? Where did this idea come from? And why do African Americans still hold this idea as a crucial standard of beauty?

If your curious, to know the answers I suggest you read Hair Story: Untangling the Roots of Black Hair in America by Ayana Byrd and Lori tharps.
