Endlessly stylish
After three centuries of slavery, Black people still don’t have the human right to wear their God-given tresses natural.
Dreadlocks, Afros, cornrows—styles perfectly natural to African hair—remain stigmatized, stereotyped, and excluded from professional dress codes.
As a direct consequence, 73% of Black women suffer from relaxer-induced alopecia—hair loss caused by chemical straighteners and weaves—to conform to a beauty standard that contradicts their DNA.
BAD Hair Uprooted: The Untold History of Black Follicles is a groundbreaking exhibition that celebrates the beauty of natural hair while revealing the consequences of unequal hair rights—through storytelling, powerful conversations, striking visuals, and a thought-provoking documentary.
