A & R people
Today, I was sitting at the dining table with my mum, and I asked my mum "if I got famous, do you think the A & R would make me straighten my hair?" My hair isn't striaghtened or permed or anything, and it confuses me to why most black girls striaghten their hair, when it's fine the way it is.
My mum answered "If and when you get to America, they'll straighten it. Think of poor Corrine Bailey Rae!"
Before:
After:
She's a British singer/ songwriter, and she's from somewhere in the north of England, and once she made her debut in America, they straightened and curled it.
Now, I like my hair in its afro state, and people always say my hair is nice and stuff. I've never worn weave or anything. I just think it's mandatory and accepted and expected for black women to have weave in their hair and make it longer and stuff. I'm proud to have nice black hair. My mum says that when the black people from the Caribbean came over, white people called our hair 'problem hair', which is offensive, because it's so veratile in the things it can do.
What are your thoughts?
