Brown hair roots with blonde ambition:
Bey Once, Lil Kim, Christina Aguilar, Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow….and most white girls I know.
Is it a frame of mind; like covering the gray makes you feel younger? When white friends want to impress upon me how pretty they were when they were a child – they always tell me how blonde they were – as if that means anything to me. They don’t understand that to me, (and most people of color), too much blonde with ice-blue eyes, put you on your guard; your gut says, ghost.
Anyway when men like Sisqo (an eighties pre-hip hop singer) and black women go blonde, are they now thinking blonder? What does that mean? Are they feeling more frisky, sexy, adventurous and carefree? Because of course the blonde hair does get them noticed. (I think it is really funny, when the hair is dyed blonde and then pieces of matching weave are strategically placed culminating the dyed blonde hair into a whipped blonde froth of perfection. She looks beautiful, like a dream, a picture of perfection. One problem, it’s not real, none of it, including the hair color.
That is not all. I will cover weaves, lacefronts, and wigs on black woman, in due time. Jennifer Hudson, are you reading? (take that horses tail cap off of your head – Come strong, come real).
