Hair signifies the relationship between a woman
and society. We classify and are classified into groups through our hair whilst
all the time being taught, influenced or coerced into adopting certain
prescribed styles.
This project represent the way ideologies can
exert real power over women through certain prescriptions on hair. We are
nothing but our appearances. Our hair colour and style can indicate a whole
range of cultural identities.
It is more than an extension of female sexuality
having been composed and constructed by the societies in which we live. It is
something we must deal with everyday and something which acts as a metaphor for
our bodies.
