It's been awhile

Hello all. Sorry I haven't written in awhile. I've been so busy. I now work two jobs to pay those bills, for now. This economy is fucking us over.



A couple of weeks ago, I went to see Good Hair with my sister (look at my earier blog for a preview of the movie). It was good but I kind of knew the reality of the "African American Women's Hair Industry" before seeing the film. I knew Asians profit the most off of this industry, which is kind of sad. I knew that African American women spend a whole lot of money each year on their hair, be it relaxers, haircuts, weaves, braids, etc. You most likely knew all of this too. Something that I did learn from the movie was that women in India can get their hair stolen off their heads while they are sleeping. Indian hair is very popular here in the United States due to its shine, thickness, and healthy length. I guess Indian business people will do whatever it takes to make their pockets grew, even if Indian women have to wait five years to grow their hair back. Plus, it is a tradition for people in India to sacrifice their hair to the Gods, even though they are not aware that their "sacrificed" hair is being sold as weave in different countries. Damn. Very crazy. Go see it if you haven't already. Chris Rock is funny and the people he interviews are even funnier.



My next blog will be about bantu knots, which is becoming my new favorite transitioning hairstyle because it's fast and easy. =)
