Tracee Ellis Ross

Although I loathed hair days, in hindsight I can now see how my mother’s care for me to be presentable and pretty for church or picture day or even in routine self care maintenance, she passed on the tradition of hair care to me. #TheHairTales

@TraceeEllisRoss @hulu @OnyxCollective @culturehouse11 My mother always told me I had beautiful hair. I wanted straight hair like my friends and didn’t appreciate the curls. So 12 years ago after she passed, I did my first big chop and never looked back!

Naked in the Park. 🌳 I took these photos a couple days ago specifically for @TraceeEllisRoss . I knew I had a story to tell and I was going to need my own thread for this. Here are some of my Hair Tales. They are not right. But the woman born out of them is. #TheHairTales

A relationship with a hair dresser/beautician is important. My hair dresser travelled from NC to both my undergrad graduation in DC and my grad school graduation in Atlanta. #TheHairTales
