Hair By Sandra Cisneros Analysis

There has been a notable amount of conversation on the internet on the rebirth of the natural hair movement. Cherise Luter (2014) states that despite afros and the natural hair movement not being a new concept (i.e. the Black Power Movement), it has gone under what she calls a “refreshing change”. Furthermore, what used to be “I’m black and I’m proud”, has been replaced with “I’m me and I’m proud” (Luter 2016). So, what is the natural hair movement? It is defined as a movement where black women decide to not conform to the social norms of chemically altering their hair and wearing it in its natural, kinky, or curled state (Joignot 2015). The movement could also be considered as an outlet for black women to display their racial and cultural pride or to articulate their “political position (Brown 2014:297). However, simply the terminology “movement” is something that should be shocking to many. There is a great amount of historical context behind the continuous influence Eurocentric beauty ideals have had on black women for centuries. According to Nadia Brown (2014), Black natural hair throughout history has proven to be recognized as “either unintended or intended personal and political statements” (298). the beauty standard in Western society which praises European hair textures, has influenced many black women to be critical of other black women who choose to chemically straighten their hair, accusing them of being subservient to the dominant and pervasive racist

When one feels protects in life, one cannot experience the benefits within life. For instance, Olive and Sarah Ann’s father holds both of them back from the opportunities in life. This is illustrated when Olive’s future husband, Mr. Dixon asks her, “Why do you wear your hair like that? You ought to shake it loose around your shoulders”. He surprises why Olive all the time makes braids in her hair instead of letting it loose or free. Mr. Dixon attempts to figure out why Olive allows her father to hold her back, much like the braids in her hair. This statement is motive because Olive starts to question her father about  confinement at home due to a man. Mr. Dixon Uses her hair as a metaphor, by his questioning, that without her job at the post office, she should give a look more in her life. By making braids and keeping her hair open, author tries to illustrate that she is a bit confused whether or not to stay at home which is like a prison by conforming her father’s rules or just get away from here and make her

The poem, “Black Hair,” by Gary Soto describes a childhood of a boy looking back on how he compared himself to his favorite baseball player’s. The speaker gives many rich images stating how the boy compares himself to the baseball players. The three vivid images that prodded out at me were, “I came here because I was Mexican” this is him comparing himself to a dark skin baseball player, “At eight I was brilliant with my body”, and “Growing sweaty in the presence of white shirts”.

In the essay, “Black Hair” by Gary Soto explains how poverty connects with “what is poverty” by Jo Godwin Parker and “Only daughter” by Sandra Cisneros. Sandra experiences loneliness when she feels left out by her brothers because she is a girl, when Soto decides to leave his home because he could no longer take his step fathers screams and for Jo Godwin they are abandoned by her husband with three children. Gary was hopeless when his co worker didn’t make it as an artist after not being able to make the chart. Sandra had lost hope that her father wouldn't accept her as a writer as in for Jo she was hopeless that she would never get out of the black hole. They experience illness when Sandra’s father gets a stroke and has to recover,

In the passage “Hairs,” by Sandra Cisneros, the author uses a childlike style to create the effect of comfort. In other words, the author is describing her family’s hair differences and her personal experiences with her mother’s hair in a very playful and childlike way. The author uses sentence length and structure to convey unorganized thoughts. This allows the author to speak on her family’s hair, specifically her mother’s, with the reader interpreting it as her pure thoughts. It’s a very uneducated and erroneous grammar structure, such as the use of run-on sentences. The reader is then invoked with a sense of playfulness and unseriousness. The author also uses word choice in her style to help convey the effect. Words like “little candy circles,”

There is a very wide known issue on hair in America based on the dynamics of hair around presentation and first impressions. There is a present concern in the work environment as well as in the public sector, where racial biases are within communities and society as a whole. After watching the documentary by Chris Rock called “Black Hair” (inspired by his daughter’s inquiry on nappy hair) there were many famous characters, which stated they would much rather wear straight hair verses curly, kinky hair also permed hair forced straight by chemicals. In the article Edited by Lilly Caldwell 2004 “Look at Her Hair” with the song “THE NEGRA IN BRAZILIAN POPULAR CULTURE” Lilly say’s, this song provides a telling example of Black women 's portrayal in Brazilian popular culture. After my researched online. I found a news source with a case pending here in the US where a Black woman with “Locks”, was hired on a job, then told she must change her hairstyle, it was not acceptable, which was racist and degrading.

“'Lily, please hold still,' Mother said again. Lily, standing in front of her, fidgeted impatiently. 'I can tie them myself,' she complained. 'I always have.' 'I know that,' Mother replied, straightening the hair ribbons on the little girl's braids. 'But I also know that they constantly come loose and more often than not, they're dangling down your back by afternoon. Today, at least, we want them to be neatly tied and to stay neatly tied'” (Lowry 40).

After many years of progress, the popular culture has begun to appreciate Black people as much as Black people love themselves. The western world is beginning to recover from many years of racial discrimination. Fashion trends usually associated with minority groups have gone from being shunned in popular culture to embraced. Previously, minorities would be forced to conform their image to look more standard, and within recent times, the standard has changed to encompass more people. A prime example of this is the acceptance of natural hair.

Berenice’s Hair gets its name from a myth about Egyptian Queen Berenice. Berenice was married to Ptolemy III , who went to war against the Seleucids,who killed his sister, in 243 BC, during the Third Syrian War in 243 B.C.. The queen was worried about her husband and promised Aphrodite that she would cut off her beautiful blonde hair if the goddess brought Ptolemy back home safely.

As we discussed in the Get to Know Your Hair section, if your hair’s cuticle is damaged it will not lie flat, so hair will appear dull. The flatter the cuticle scale, the more light is easily reflected off of its surface causing the hair to have natural shine. Damaged hair has less natural shine. Damage to the cuticle will also cause hair to not have natural movement and body, so the hair appears lifeless and stiff.

After flipping off the switch to my cheap, red Revlon hair dryer, I took one glance in the mirror and noticed my hair looked exactly as expected: terrible. My dark brown curls were separated, flattened, and all the volume had been suctioned out. My once-voluptuous locks were now dry and brittle noodles. I have never had great experiences with hair dryers. Honestly, how could I? I have fine, curly hair that frizzes at the very touch of my fingers. Some days it looks like a rat’s nest, other days it looks like five rat’s nests all got into a fight over whose nest could look the dirtiest. So let me explain to you the extent of a mess in which I deal with on the daily.
