Video : I am not My Hair By India Arie

In light of our spirited discussion today, I decided to rock with this video of India Arie performing the song “I am Not my Hair”.

I am not my Hair India Arie

Never really paid attention the the lyrics, but check the first verse and chorus:
“Little girl with the press and curl/ Age eight I got a Jheri curl /Thirteen I got a relaxer/ I was a source of so much laughter/ At fifteen when it all broke off/ Eighteen and went all natural/ February two thousand and two/ I went and did/ What I had to do/ Because it was time to change my life/ To become the women that I am inside/ Ninety-seven dreadlock all gone/ I looked in the mirror/ For the first time and saw that HEY…./ [Chorus] I am not my hair/ I am not this skin/ I am not your expectations no no/ I am not my hair/ I am not this skin/ I am a soul that lives within”
Enjoy!

Ciara accented her new hair cut with a Gryphon sequin racerback tank and staple black Louboutin pumps.  Kim K chose Proenza Schouler’s T-shirt bustier dress, signature YSL Tribute Too pumps, and popped on YSL’s cage belt to complete the look.Â
Hotness for both ladies!Â

Hey!

So with Rihanna always in the spotlight for her daring fashion choices, I thought it apropos to (finally) take a quick look at her long time stylist:
