People, people everywhere! A large number of people gathered in New York City’s Union Square Park on last Saturday to touch black women’s hair. It was all part of a two-day “interactive public art exhibit,” titled “You Can Touch My Hair”.

Three black women stood in Union Square with signs welcoming strangers to come feel. The women had different hair types: locs, straightened hair and a blown-out afro. The purpose is to explore the “tactile fascination with black hair” by feeling the hair of black women. Un-ruly.com, who organized the event, describes it as a public art exhibit “where strangers from all walks of life will have the welcomed opportunity to touch various textures of black hair”.

We have two questions:

1. What are your thoughts on the experiment?
2. Would you participate and allow strangers to touch your hair?

Meet me on Facebook and Twitter for the discussion.

Last Tuesday afternoon as representatives from both groups asked lawmakers to ease regulations on natural hair care, a critical aspect of “black culture”. Oregon law currently prohibits natural hair care practitioners from braiding, cornrowing, extending, lacing, twisting and performing similar functions outside their homes without undergoing extensive cosmetology coursework.

The bill up for public hearing would exempt natural hair care from the state’s barbering requirements, establishing an online certification process for natural hair practioners. Supporters state that natural hair care should not be regulated the same as barbering since it doesn’t entail the use of chemicals that are often used in perming and coloring hair.

Currently Oregon’s cosmetology coursework does not include information on natural hair care, should they be regulated under the same standards? Weigh in and join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter!
