Why Everyone Has the SAME Hair Now… And It’s Not Random

Hair has always been personal… but lately, it feels like it’s become something else entirely. In this video, I’m breaking down how hair—especially within the Black community—has quietly shifted into a status signal. From “polished” installs to the rise of “luxury hair,” there’s an unspoken standard forming around what looks expensive, put-together, and socially acceptable. But when everyone is chasing the same look, what happens to individuality? This isn’t about judging personal choices—it’s about understanding the systems and pressures shaping those choices. Why do certain textures, styles, and finishes read as “wealthy”? When did “neat” start meaning something very specific? And who benefits from that shift? If you’ve ever felt like there’s a right way to look “done,” this video is for you. If you’re trying to move away from trend-led looks and build a more intentional style, you can join the waitlist for my private styling sessions here: https://bit.ly/49vUPl2 Some of tthe references used in this video about wigs: Not All TV Journalists Are Free to Wear Their Natural Hair https://nbcuacademy.com/natural-hair-...
