The natural hair movement isn’t a new phenomenon. For those of us born in the ‘60s and ‘70s we can remember living in the times of the black cultural revolution where black hair infiltrated the mainstream media with powerful images of activist Angela Davis and actress Pam Grier rockin’ their natural afros everywhere. In those times wearing your natural hair was based on a resistance to the racist Euro-centric “idealistic” beauty standards and a proclamation of black self-love.
