Most black actresses come to a new set w/ their hair done (me) or bring their wigs & clip-ins w/them. It’s either that or take a chance that you will look crazy on screen. Many of us also bring our own foundation. One too many times seeing no shade that matches you will learn ya!

Most Black actors get their hair cut or styled outside of set, often at their own expense because Hollywood hairstylists are one size fit all and that ‘all’ does not include Black hair. This has been my experience for the last 20 years in the business & it hasn’t changed at all. twitter.com/yahya/status/1…

i personally enjoy the "ummmm's..." plus the confused looks that happens when their fingers first touch my curls. it's almost like they think that just by touching my hair, inspiration will spring from my scalp into their waiting hands & they're literally shocked when it doesn't.
