Solange Knowles, Selita Ebanks and Cassie are all the new faces of Carol’s Daughter multicultural campaign. Lisa Price, Founder and President of the beauty product company, sat down to talk with the ladies about their experiences with “good hair.”
Selita Ebanks began:
“My family is very cultural. The women in my family go from the brightest vanilla to the chocolately chocolate and all of our hair textures vary. Growing up, I had some sort of identity crisis because I’m so light skinned so I used to envy the girls that would be able to be in the bathroom in high school and just wrap their hair up without no pins, so I thought it was something wrong with my hair.”
Cassie continued:
“From the time I was born until I was 12 years old my hair was pin straight and I prayed every night that I could have [curly] hair like my mom. She’d press it out, she’d have her beautiful curls when we’d go to the beach. As soon as I hit puberty, my hair started to curl and I finally got that curl and now it’s going back the other way. I always wanted that and I had it for one moment of my life.”
Solange finished:
“Cutting my hair, it doesn’t even feel brave but it was funny to see the social response and their interpretation with what a hair cut or hair change means. A hair cut, color, all of those things to me are just another outlet of expression.”
