My hair has gone through multiple changes over the years. When I was very young my mum would have me out and about with the standard young-black-girl mickey mouse hair puffs (the same hairstyle I’ll one day give to my daughters!) When I got a little bit older my mum would then braid my hair herself every two weeks – can we not all remember the pain when growing up of your mum doing your hair? (for me – that brush through the afro brought so much painnnn). I starting getting my hair professionally done when I was around 8-10 years old; the first time I visited the hairdressers’ was for my First Holy Communion and as per, I got braids done.
Throughout my younger years I would have all different types of braided hairstyles: from twists, to cornrows, to box braids – of all different shades of brown – you name it, I probably had it. Eventually I got to the age where I could determine what styles I wanted (and it wasn’t all down to my mum), so I started opting for clip-in hair extensions. I wasn’t quite a big glamorous weave (I wasn’t allowed to have a weave at the time), but the clip-ins allowed me to have some versatility in terms of colours, length, style – the lot. For my sixth form prom, I got a weave in for the first time, and since then this is the main style I’ve dabbled in, just as I find it’s easy, saves a lot of time, and allows for a lot of versatility.
The hair industry is one of the biggest money making industries in the world. For example – every time I get my hair done – which is around every two months – I pay £70! That’s £420 a year… on hair! And if I’m buying some new extensions? You can add another £100+ to that number. The hair industry is changing all the time: from people shaving their hair off/doing the big chop, to people backing the natural hair trend – we’re currently going through a very interesting time in the world of ‘hair’.
