(3,672 posts)The discussion on hair is spot on

(25,929 posts)It was a bit "Oh!" for a few seconds, and then "Ah!"; I know some of these styles from either photos, or the many Black women I've seen on subways, and buses. Especially, when I lived Brooklyn for some years - jeri curls were big. But there were pure fros, braids, straightened, mixed fros w braids etc
It was just surprising bc I'd never seen her like that, just 8 yrs of her First Lady hair styles. I really like 4 of 6 styles I saw; she looked fabulous.
Occasionally my Black women friends have talked about their hair. I've read articles here, and there.

(292,817 posts)I opted for natural hair from the days of black power movement. Had a big Afro. I remember my mum asking me what I had done to my hair. My response was nothing - this is my hair. She got the point. I was done with that crap forever and never gave a damn about others views.
I started braiding my own hair on campus much to the outcry of many.
Sometimes Id wear French braids - one or two but mostly it was fine braids. These days Its much thinner.

(25,929 posts)Some of the Black students started wearing afros. This was a Art & Music HS, so I don't think their was a fuss the way maybe some school would make.
There was a pair of sisters, not quite identical, l but really did look alike tbat I sometimes sat across at lunch. One was medium light brown with a ? 6' inch black afro. Her sister was a very light brown, with sort of reddish freckles and, a nearly bright red afro. They looked really cool sitting together!
Sigh... on the thinning hair.

(6,982 posts)campaign for Presidency. It must have been the second term, because when she was finished, I spontaneously jumped up to shake her hand, and I said, "Are you going to be the next First Lady who runs for President?" She hesitated for a second and then gave me a huge smile, and I got her autograph....
I loved what she once said about Iowa, that we proved America was ready for a black President, because "there aren't any black folks in Iowa, and they voted for us."
