SheaMoisture Is Cancelled: 55 Black-Owned Hair Care Brands You Can Support Instead. Unless you’ve been living under a rock the past 48 hours, you’ve probably seen SheaMoisture trending from Facebook to Twitter – unfortunately not for good reasons.

Black consumers everywhere were up in arms after a commercial ad from Shea Moisture made its way to social media for their new “Hair Hate” campaign. The ad featured a light skin woman with long wavy hair, a blonde white woman, and 2 red-head white women discussing why they’ve suffered from “hair hate.” Oddly enough, Shea Moisture’s long-time core consumer base, Black women with kinky hair, were missing from the conversation and video. While some see this as the brand simply “diversifying” their line in order to expand out of the “ethnic” section and into the mainstream beauty aisle for more coins, many Black women feel betrayed that a brand they supported and built with their dollars would erase them to appeal to the masses.

Hope Wabuke is a writer based in Southern California. Follow her on Twitter @HopeWabuke. I don’t remember the first time I was called ugly. But I do remember the day my stunning oldest sister came home in tears because this was what her classmates — and teacher — had called her. I was 6 years old at the time. My sister was 13. In home economics that afternoon in Roseville, Minnesota, beauty consultants had come in to teach my sister and her classmates how to do makeup — something fundamentally problematic in itself — and none of the available colors matched my oldest sister’s skin tone.

On my sister’s black skin, they put pressed powder fit for a light-skinned European — eye shadow, blush and lipstick to match. Our hair must be straightened, they said, or we would have to find a different place to learn. Shortly after this incident, the school district told my parents that something “needed to be done” with our hair. That’s when the terror of the flat iron began. Tignon. A young Creole woman in a tignon of her own creation.

Note that the rosette in the tignon is repeated as either a brooch or in the linen at her neck. Painting from the Historic New Orleans Collection. Tignon Law[edit] This headdress was the result of sumptuary laws passed in 1786 under the administration of Governor Esteban Rodriguez Miró. Called the tignon laws, they prescribed and enforced appropriate public dress for female gens de couleur in colonial society. At this time in Louisiana history, women of African descent vied with white women in beauty, dress and manners. Many of them had become the placées (openly kept mistresses) of white, French, and Spanish Creole men. To prevent this, Governor Miró decreed that women of African descent, slave or free, should cover their hair and heads with a knotted headdress and refrain from "excessive attention to dress" to maintain class distinctions.

Historian Virginia M. Afro-Créole protest[edit] Legacy[edit] Tignons Past and Present[edit] Untitled. When and where was Madam Walker born and how many siblings did she have? Where can I find a biography of her and learn what she accomplished? Madam C. J. Walker was born Sarah Breedlove on December 23, 1867. The fifth of Owen and Minerva Anderson Breedlove’s six children, she was the first Breedlove child born after the end of slavery. Madam Walker had five siblings including one sister, Louvenia, and four brothers, Owen, Jr., Alexander, James and Solomon. A’Lelia Bundles, Walker’s biographer, has written several articles about Walker on her blog at Here is a link to an article about Madam Walker’s family members and how they keep the Walker legacy alive: “A Walker Family Perspective” You can read a brief biography of her on this website at and you can click on the video links on this site and on www.aleliabundles.com Back to top When, where and how did Madam Walker die?

I am writing a report. Straightening-our-hair-by-bell-hooks.pdf. 63-05 Liberator. Hair Raising: Beauty, Culture, and African American Women - Noliwe M. Rooks. Bad Hair Uprooted: The Untold Story of Black Follicles. Straightening hair is such common practice in the Afro-Suriname community that I never realized how damaging the chemical ingredients really are. When my hair started breaking, I thought it was because I didn’t take care of my hair well enough. Only after taking all the precautions and severe hair damage for the third time in a row, it dawned on me that the chemicals were the culprit of my damaged hair.

Then after I read the article “Relaxers can cause African American hair loss, I realized it wasn't just me. In this article the author Damian Mcnamara quotes Dr. Miller, dermatologist at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey saying: "73% of African American women complain of breakage, split ends, and dryness caused by relaxers". “How is it possible,” I thought, “that 73% of African American women suffer from relaxer induced alopecia, and we just continue to relax our hair?” Even compared to other races our behavior just didn’t make any sense.

By Amanda Michelle Steiner @amandamichl updated 02/25/2015 AT 07:55 AM EST •originally published 02/24/2015 AT 09:30 AM EST Because of the dreadlocks Zendaya chose to wear on the Oscars red carpet, Giuliana Rancic said of the K.C.

Undercover actress on Monday's Fashion Police that the 18-year-old Disney star must have smelled of "patchouli" and "weed. " Zendaya took to Instagram to shame Rancic, 40, for her comments without specifically naming the Fashion Police host: "There is a fine line between what is funny and disrespectful," she wrote. Continued Zendaya, "To say that an 18-year-old young woman with locs must smell of patchouli oil or 'weed' is not only a large stereotype but outrageously offensive. Zendaya went on to name-check successful African Americans such as Ava DuVernay and Terry McMillan, all of whom have "locs" in common – "none of which smell of marijuana. " Later, Rancic also issued an on-camera statement via E! 11 Stereotypes About People With Locs That Need To Stop. Getty Ever since Giuliana Rancic assumed that the faux locs Zendaya Coleman wore to the Academy Awards on Sunday made her look like “she smells like patchouli oil and weed,” people have been dragging the E!

Personality and “Fashion Police” host on social media. But comments like this aren’t surprising. For as far back as people have been wearing locs, others have been making some very interesting and very stupid assumptions about them. Don’t get caught out here talking like Rancic, ya’ll. Unless we’re talking about the early stages of locking one’s hair, those with locs can wash their hair just as often as anyone else washes their hair.
