Double Strand Twist

I can't think of any black woman or woman with curly
coily hair who doesn't have fantasies of coming up with
a hairstyle which is easy to keep up, not affected by
bad weather, and looks healthy & sharp.

Despite my many forays with hairstyles ranging from
Afro, natural hairstyles, straightened, relaxed , geri
curled , braids and whatever I still continue to search
the internet looking for hair websites.

It's a trauma. Many Black women have this trauma because
our hair is deeply connected to our "herstory" of beauty.
We have been praised and denigrated for the texture of
our hair.

It's always been a double strand twist.

As I find websites of interest I'll share them with you.

But I can't begin a discussion of hair without pointing to
a website which discusses our great entrepreneur in the
beauty industry: Madame C. J. Walker
