“Curly. Coily. Kinky. 4A. 4B. 4C. Dense. Strong. Versatile. Timeless. Beautiful. Black hair, historically has been a means of expressing a Black person’s culture, religion, kinship, status and heritage amongst other attributes. 

This series is an ode to the majestic complexities of Black hair and the strength of the women that don it as their crowns.”
