Hot Combs and Kitchens: Black Hair in Pop Culture

Send us a text


Join us as we share our hair inspirations, awkward hair-related
interactions, handling major hairstyle changes, and Black hair
stereotypes we would like to get rid of through a lens of
memorable scenes from How to Get Away with Murder, Girlfriends,
Sons of Anarchy, Waiting to Exhale, and Something New.  Of
course, no timely discussion of Black hair would be complete
without unpacking the mistreatment of Gabrielle Union during her
stint on America's Got Talent.

We recorded the episode before the holiday, so consider our well
wishes for a great holiday an early gift for the 2020 holiday
season (instead of a belated wish for 2019).  :-)

Content/Trigger Warning:  Our discussion of How to Get Away
with Murder contains references to incest and sexual assault,
which may be triggering to survivors.  Please reach out to
