Black, Bold and Beautiful: Black Women's Hair on AllMovie

Black hair can be styled in a number of ways, although among earlier generations, the subject was divided into two camps: natural or straightened. For many, the straight-hair look was a symbol of conformity and professionalism, while the natural style was adapted by the more adventurous. In contemporary times, all looks are acceptable, and some people vary their hair's appearance from day to day. Several women appear in Black, Bold and Beautiful: Black Women's Hair to discuss their choice of hairstyles and how much influence fashion exerts on their decisions.
