from The Puffy Hair Podcast | Hair Care, Textured Hair, Curly Hair, Multicultural, Cultural Diversity · host Shar Roorda

Welcome to the Puffy Hair Podcast! I'm Shar, your host, and today we dive into a fascinating and fun topic: black hair in Hollywood. Join our diverse community as we discuss the importance of representation and the challenges faced by black actors with textured hair in the film industry. As a biracial individual raised by Caucasians, I created Puffy Hair to empower and educate about textured hair. In this episode, I share my passion for movies and the shocking revelation about inadequate hair care for black actors on set. Discover how actors are pushing for equality and better hair representation. From my days at Blockbuster to analyzing hair in movies, I explore the evolution of black hair in Hollywood and celebrate shows and films that get it right. Tune in to learn, laugh, and connect with fellow curl friends. Let's elevate our afros and embrace our unique beauty together!
