    “IT’S THE FEELINGS I WEAR”: BLACK WOMEN, NATURAL HAIR, AND NEW MEDIA (RE)NEGOTIATIONS OF BEAUTY By Kristin Denise Rowe A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of African American and African Studies—Doctor of Philosophy 2019 ABSTRACT “IT’S THE FEELINGS I WEAR”: BLACK WOMEN, NATURAL HAIR, AND NEW MEDIA (RE)NEGOTIATIONS OF BEAUTY By Kristin Denise Rowe At the intersection of social media, a trend in organic products, and an interest in do-it-yourself culture, the late 2000s opened a space for many Black American women to stop chemically straightening their hair via “relaxers” and begin to wear their hair natural—resulting in an Internet-based cultural phenomenon known as the “natural hair movement.” Within this context, conversations around beauty standards, hair politics, and Black women’s embodiment have flourished within the public sphere, largely through YouTube, social media, and websites. My project maps these conversations, by exploring contemporary expressions of Black women’s natural hair within cultural production. Using textual and content analysis, I investigate various sites of inquiry: natural hair product advertisements and internet representations, as well as the ways hair texture is evoked in recent song lyrics, filmic scenes, and non- fiction prose by Black women. Each of these “hair moments” offers a complex articulation of the ways Black women experience, share, and negotiate the socio-historically fraught terrain that is racialized body politics

    HER JOURNEY, HER VOICE … The Evolution of Textured Hair and Beyond “… There are so many different types of curly hair from so many different ethnic backgrounds. I wish there were more products that were specific to not just what texture curls a person has, but the porosity of your hair, the thickness and density of your hair, and the length of your hair.” .

Executive Summary • Over the past decade the textured hair landscape has shifted dramatically. Where once it was the norm for textured hair to be chemically altered (most commonly straightened using relaxers) today the majority of African American and multi racial women are taking a more natural approach. • This shift is driven by consumers increasingly embracing and celebrating their natural textures, as well as rejecting products containing harmful chemicals and other ingredients which they have learned are damaging to their hair and harmful to their health. • “Beautiful” and “healthy” were commonly used by by women with natural hair to describe their hair, with many indicating that they would not have described their hair the same way 5-10 years ago.

  • Central Hair Loss in African American Women: Incidence and Potential Risk Factors
    ORIGINAL ARTICLES Central hair loss in African American women: Incidence and potential risk factors EliseA.Olsen,MD,a Valerie Callender, MD,b Amy McMichael, MD,c Leonard Sperling, MD,d KevinJ.Anstrom,PhD,a Jerry Shapiro, MD,e Janet Roberts, MD,f Faith Durden, MD,g David Whiting, MD,h and Wilma Bergfeld, MDi Durham and Winston-Salem, North Carolina; Mitchellville and Bethesda, Maryland; Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; Portland, Oregon; Dallas, Texas; and Cleveland, Ohio Background: Although central scalp hair loss is a common problem in African American women, data on etiology or incidence are limited. Objective: We sought to determine the frequency of various patterns and degree of central scalp hair loss in African American women and to correlate this with information on hair care practices, family history of hair loss, and medical history. Methods: Five hundred twenty-nine subjects at six different workshops held at four different sites in the central and/or southeast United States participated in this study. The subjects’ patterns and degree of central scalp hair loss were independently assessed by both subject and investigator using a standardized photographic scale. Subjects also completed a detailed questionnaire and had standardized photographs taken. Statistical analysis was performed evaluating answers to the questionnaire relative to pattern of central hair loss. Results: Extensive central scalp hair loss was seen in 5.6% of subjects. There was no obvious association of extensive hair loss with relaxer or hot comb use, history of seborrheic dermatitis or reaction to a hair care product, bacterial infection, or male pattern hair loss in fathers of subjects; however, there was an association with a history of tinea capitis.
