Everybody I am Tiffany Renee, I am absolutely in love with the versatility of black hair.

大家好，我是Tiffany Renee，我絕對愛死了黑髮的多功能性。

My last five years, I really grew to like love my hair step into like my black womanhood more because my hair was like a statement on site.

在過去的五年裡，我真的越來越喜歡我的頭髮，更喜歡我的黑人女性身份，因為我的頭髮就像現場的聲明。

So that's my hair story.

所以這就是我的頭髮故事。

Now, I want to hear some of yours.

現在，我想聽聽你的一些意見。

So let's get into the nostalgia of black hair.

是以，讓我們進入對黑髮的懷念。

Like tell me about a time when you were younger and you had a meaningful moment or a meaningful person that helped you like shape your narrative around how you feel about your black hair.

就像告訴我你年輕的時候，你有一個有意義的時刻或一個有意義的人，幫助你圍繞你對黑髮的感覺塑造你的敘述。

Um well that's interesting and kind of multifaceted.

嗯......這很有趣，而且是一種多面性的。

I think growing up in the south, straight hair was the big thing, like there was no natural hair 20 years ago when I was in college or or it was definitely forbidden when I was small enough to be in elementary school.

我認為在南方長大，直髮是大事情，就像20年前我上大學時沒有自然發，或者在我小到上小學時肯定是被禁止的。

So it was always a situation where if you had to go somewhere, you always had to straighten the hair.

所以它總是一種情況，如果你不得不去某個地方，你總是不得不把頭髮拉直。

I went to the beauty shop like most of us like once a week or always for special occasions, but it was never something that I, So by the time I got old enough to really control my hair, I was like no, this isn't it, like very early in the game.

我像我們大多數人一樣，每週去一次美容店，或者總是在特殊場合去，但這從來不是我的事情，所以當我長大到可以真正控制自己的頭髮時，我就覺得不，這不是它，就像在遊戲的早期。

So at that time when my mom was sort of allowed me to kind of do my own hair, I was probably like first starting high school and this is early 90s, so like I washed my hair now and I wear it embraced and at a point in time, I would never have never have been seen outside in protective hairstyles.

所以在那個時候，當我媽媽允許我自己做頭髮的時候，我可能像第一次開始上高中，這是90年代初，所以像我現在洗了我的頭髮，我把它包起來，在一個時間點上，我永遠不會在外面看到有保護性的髮型。

At this point, child is part of the look.

在這一點上，孩子是造型的一部分。

Okay?

好嗎？

So if you see me with four Platz and the cap on, then that's what it is for the day and that's it.

是以，如果你看到我帶著四個Platz和帽子，那麼這就是今天的情況，就這樣。

So at this point in my life, like 25 30 years into understanding what hair is to me, I fully accepted whatever it comes in.

是以，在我生命中的這一點上，就像25 30年來對頭髮的理解，我完全接受了它的任何形式。

Like I'm not, I do not limit myself to what my mother or my father or my grandmother always wanted me to do in terms of representing what my hair should look like.

就像我不是，我不限制自己，在代表我的頭髮應該是什麼樣子方面，我的母親或我的父親或我的祖母總是希望我做什麼。
