Hi guys its Hailey! This weekend I traveled back home and decided to do a few podcasts with some family members! In this episode I sat down with my mom and discussed the natural hair movement and our history with hair! I hope you enjoy this candid conversation and follow our twitter

Sitting down for this heartfelt discussion I asked my mom her background with her natural hair and how she perceived getting her hair done as a child. We discussed old pictures of her and how black hair was seen in pop culture she referenced a L.L. Cool J commercial. We touched on the idea of hair being bonding time with your parent and siblings as well considering the age gaps we both have with our siblings.  We talked about how we took care of our hair in college and the feeling of having to use heat. I asked about her little hair braiding career and if she was scared when she realized she was pregnant with a baby girl. The podcast started to get a little heated when we discussed the reasons why my mom permed (relaxed) my hair without permission as a child. My mother also had two big chops during my life span so I tried to get some background on that decision. We touched on postpartum hair loss, her experience with weave and hair extensions and more! We closed the episode out talking about our hair inspirations and if we felt the conversation was productive!
