The politics of black women’s hair: Why it’s seen with skepticism — and a need to discipline

[CrispyQ]

2. This is an issue that I became aware of only recently,

that black women's hair style is scrutinized & judged. There's my white privilege showing. What's interesting is that if I let my naturally curly red hair go, it's frizzy & wild. Even if others may not like my hair that style, no one has ever told me to tame my hair! I don't see what's wrong with any of these hair styles in the photos. I would think the key thing would be that their hair is tied securely away from their face & neck so as not to be a hazard.
