Beauty brand Carol\u2019s Daughter<\/em> has released a brief video of the three recent new faces of their brand, singer\/model Cassie, singer\/DJ Solange and supermodel Selita Ebanks. All three women and their visibly varying hair textures represent the diversity inherent to Black hair.<\/p>\n

While hair maintenance is important to all women regardless of race, for many black women, our hair is one of the main identifiers of who we are. Our hair is also our ultimate expressions of self.<\/p>\n

Many of us will spend thousands of dollars yearly to ensure that our hair looks good and often get caught up in the notion of what constitutes as \u2018good hair.\u2019 While there seems to be a paradigm shift in what we consider to be \u2018good hair\u2019, some still hold strong to the ideology that \u2018good hair\u2019 is straight or \u2018soft\u2019 with loser curls, while \u2018bad hair\u2019 is coarse with tighter curls.<\/p>\n

As expressed by the beautiful women in this video, \u2018good hair\u2019 is the hair in which you feel most comfortable. Whether you feel like rocking a funky fro, being \u2018straight\u2019 to the point or having fun with some sexy curls, do whatever makes you feel sexy, comfortable and happy!
