Sometimes a girl has got to do with a girl has got to do. Hollywood actress Taraji Penda Henson said that she wanted to get rid of all the bad vibes she was feeling from the disastrous year that was 2020 by cutting her hair.
As many fans know, Taraji has been tackling mental health awareness for the Black community and encouraging self-care in a new YouTube series. Here’s what she has to say.
In her latest video, Taraji explains that her new hair style and body wave is all about creating texture and making sure that her hair looks like it has movement.
Taraji Penda Henson Got Rid Of 2020’s Bad Energy By Cutting Her Hair
Taraji put it this way, “I used to perm my hair. My mom was a single mother. It was rough, my hair texture is very different from my mother’s and she really had an issue working with it. So my mom started perming my hair when I was six. I had my hair permed when I was 26. When I moved to LA and did this movie Baby Boy the hairstylist on [that movie] talked me into going natural. I didn’t know how to work with my hair. It was rough. I cried, the brush was stuck in my hair.”
She also added that “hair holds energy” and that’s why she had to cut it out. Taraji added, “I met this hairstylist [on a show], Valerie Green, she taught me how to work with my natural hair. It was tedious, but once I got it down I fell in love with my natural hair. Back then in Hollywood it wasn’t cool to rock natural hair, they wanted straight European hair. I would still have to press my hair, which is kind of defeating why you go natural. The perimeter of my hair started breaking off from trying to get it straight and match the weave hair. I was over it. I quit and cut my hair all off. I fell in love with my natural hair when I first grew the perm out. That’s how I ended up with natural hair and I love it.”
