I'm so happy to see a dark skinned Black woman with kinky hair on television. I agree, I wish she could wear her natural hair out all of the time.

YASSS.... Her hair, the way she wore it, the fact that she as someone with 4c type hair, (the hair type most likely to be ridiculed in both the white AND black community) decided to wear it out beautifully gives me so much hope.

That hair gives me so much life. You have no idea at all.

I can't get over her hair. I wish she wore it like that all the time, including the show. Her skin is GLOWING, her outfit is on point...she's just pure awesomeness and I'm so proud of her. She deserves all the awards!!!

I adore Viola Davis and her performance in murder. That scene where she strips all her makeup off and asked why is her husband's penis on a dead girl's phone- stopped my heart. I'm not even surprised that she had an awesome acceptance speech but I'm super disappointed that Tatiana Maslaney was robbed.

Right. And now that "natural" is back in style it is hard to find a product that doesn't use "curls" in the name or in the description of what it does.

I'm going to guess the person who replied to you isn't black since you weren't POLICING anyone's blackness but pointing out that some kinds of blackness are accepted and praised by both black AND non-black ppl and people who act as if Tracee having curly hair is some kind of subversive act don't know anything about…

You said what I was thinking. There is nothing subversive about Tracy's hair or the Mowry twins. Tracy could have gotten a job at the bank in 1975 with that hair.

growing up i would have killed someone to have 3a hair. seriously.

yep. no lies.

My natural hair is often called a birds nest, an explosion, scary, messy.

So true. While I definitely know some women who had wavy or curly hair that they permed (I mean, now that many are going natural or just b/c I saw the childhood pictures of friends), there have ALWAYS been girls with curly or wavy hair leaving it natural and getting praised for it for the reasons you mentioned. I…

That 4c woman is beautiful.

Ugh, another 3a, hair type talking about wearing their hair "natural" and acting as if its as subversive as if they were a 4c, no growth very kinky short afro like Lupita.

Diana Ross, natural hair? Growing up, I remember people used to poke fun at Diana because of her massive weave. She was like the first black celeb that embraced the weave that I can remember. Back in the day, the weave/extensions (yes, white people, extensions are just another version of weaves) wasn't as…

Might as well lend a hand. It can be awfully hard to get back to sleep when someone's working the ol sour cream rifle next to you.

So this man walks into a psychiatrists office wearing nothing but saran wrap. The psychiatrist takes one look at the man and says "I can clearly see your nuts".

is this article implying that Lisa Bonet was probably abused by Cosby?

You might want to try to track down "Cleopatra 2525" if you haven't seen it already; 3 leads, all women and Gina Torres is one of them. I think it's considered an ensemble cast.
