Afrotastic.

I was on the subway and this black woman had red curly white girl hair. I was a bit confused as to how she did that and wondered if it was a wig. Then I looked over at a few other African sisters, and their hair was straightened to assimilate white girl hair too.

I wonder if in the future when the race barriers are broken and the equilibrium between the races is raised, if Afros will be the new straight hair, and if we will all be teasing our hair every day instead of straightening it because that's what's in style.

Hair style can be seen as a social thing. But it can also be viewed as a convenience thing. I wonder.
