Do This Hair

Just like myself, many black women have a complicated history with their hair and its texture, the rise of the natural hair movement and more recent positive representation have encouraged many women to embrace and love their natural texture. Inspired by witnessing the women around me turn away from the use of chemical relaxers and embrace their natural texture, this piece explores this transition through a diptych format. In an effort to capture the essence of this transition, I made this piece a diptych, showing two women, one receiving a natural hairstyle and another a relaxer. Using oil paint for the figures and acrylic for the background, I collaged Ankara fabric to communicate this uniquely black experience.
