In More of Today's "Hair-raising" News

MTV's show, "True Life" is searching for Black Women who want to leave the weave and go with the 'fro! If reality TV and the earlier post about Barbie are any indication, the natural hair movement may be coming soon to a scalp near you and/or me.  


Details: "Is your hair your obsession? How are you struggling with your hair? Do you feel natural hair would let you embrace your true self, and you want to go for the “big chop?” Why now? What has held you back up to this moment? We would like to follow someone who is ready to do the “big chop” and follow them on their journey as they transition into their natural hair.

If you appear to be between the ages of 15 -28 and would like us to document your transition to natural hair, email us at casting@lintonmedia.com and tell us about your story. Please include your name, location, phone number and recent photos of yourself."

It will be fascinating to see who and how and why Black women are going toward the Afro hairstyle in the "True Life" format MTV utilizes.  In other words, the pros and the cons will be emphasized very strongly and there will have to be some conflict. 


Another salient point  is that everyone's hair is different and "looking natural" doesn't always mean "no fuss." The "no make-up" look actually needs make-up and the skills to pull it off. When it comes to beauty, things aren't always as simple as they seem, are they?
