Episode 13: Are you a 4C?
Manage episode 203615155 series 1511703
When Oprah's longtime hairstylist Andre Walker created the hair typing system, he didn't expect it to become what it is today. The chart has helped a lot of Black naturals understand their textures but it's also created some tensions when it comes to the lack of representation of 4C women. From our hair history, to hair salons, and a chat with Mr. Walker himself--we get to the bottom of why some people feel tangled up in this hair chart.
