Afrika in Focus Special: Dye-ing to look good - The Hair care and beauty industry Part I
Manage episode 409940947 series 2969744
This week's edition of Afrika in Focus examines the effects of the hair care industry on Afrikan (Black) women.
We start by analysing why Afrikan women globally spend huge amounts of money trying to look like European women.
We then go into depth using history and mind control techniques how Afrikan women were programmed to hate their nappy, kinky, woolly hair and use all sorts of methods to straighten it.
We highlight some of the devastating chemicals that Afrikan women are putting into their heads and some of damaging health consequences of this.
We also look at the issue of weaves/ wigs and expose that these are in the main made from the hair of Hindu Indian women who have gone through certain religious / spiritual sacrifices and rituals.
We also look at the economic and spiritual consequences of wearing hair that belongs to another group of people .
Finally we advise that Afrikan women must NOW WAKE UP and understand that their pursuit of European standards of beauty is having a devastating impact on their health, spirituality and is economically enriching others and impoverishing their own communities.
As our ancestors in Ancient Kemet (Egypt) entreated the Afrikan female with the saying: Woman know thyself!!
