Let’s talk about hair. A lot can be said about hair, and many before me have done so. As a woman, especially a brown woman, or a woman with dark body hair, I’ve dealt with bullying and shaming throughout my youth and even into adulthood. The hair on my legs, the hair on my arms, my eyebrows, my sideburns, hair on my upper lip, on my armpits, on my back—there was always someone who thought they were allowed to say something about the hair on my body. But that’s not what this week’s blog post is about.

I want to talk about the hair on my head instead.
