WOMEN Inc stands for many different women, and tonight the women with frizzy hair will be the focus! 'Frizzy hair expert' Mireille Liong-A-Kong will be coming over from New York especially to explain everything about the beautiful natural hair that black women should be proud of. That was the announcement for my first official debate about frizzy hair in the Netherlands.
'Black hair' has a long history, with many prejudices such as 'bad hair'. Mireille explains, from a historical perspective, using her book 'Natuurlijk Kroes' (Naturally Curly) what the do's and don'ts are regarding 'black hair'. And regarding 'hair': don't make it straight, but naturally curly! See also kroeshaar.com.
The debate took place on April 16. The panel included Michelle David, American TV presenter, Ellen Robles, Clark Accord, Writer and Rosita Rijkland, natural hairdresser.
The event was a great success. Not only was the room packed, chairs had to be pulled out, the audience was quite involved, which is always the basis for a good discussion.
For me the trip to the Netherlands was more than worth it. I would like to thank everyone who came to the documentary and the lecture and contributed to the discussion. I don't need to spend many words on it, watch the videos and the photos for an impression and make sure you are there too, next time.
