Hair Waiting

The pandemic had many women of all cultures tuning into YouTube and Tik Tok for hair advice.

Tune into a Monica’s online hair tutorial waiting room. Monica’s clients Naomi and Sandra are surprised when Becky joins the hair tutorial. The young women discuss Becky’s attempt at cultural appropriateness, Juneteenth celebrations, good hair, and hair discrimination. The women’s bickering attracts the attention of Monica’s Caribbean cousin Ma Bell, who teaches the class, fixes their hair attitudes, and outlook.

Even in a virtual hair salon the women find that they have more in common than they think especially having good looking hair.
