I AM NOT MY HAIR! Join the conversation. Saturday, 8 am EST Dial-in 516-453-6065 or listen online. Special guest Gloria Robinson Simon. - Essence Magazine says, "IT’S EASY TO AGREE THAT OUR HAIR CAN DEPICT HOW WE FEEL; IT’S AN EXTENSION OF OUR PERSONALITY, EVEN OUR SPIRITUAL BELIEFS. BUT, ARE WE MORE THAN THAT? While that is true, reality illustrates that women believe the opposite of the statement. We know our hair is an extension of ourselves. However, we must also understand that our hair should not be the sole deciding factor on how we are to be perceived by others and ourselves. Though our hair is a part of us, it’s not all of us. As India Arie greatly puts it, we are the soul that lives within. At the end of the day, it’s just hair". Women have always questioned their hairstyles. In this rapidly diverse world, we have become more accepting of diverse styles, as well as cultures. Yet somehow, mustering up coverage to go bald is still a thing.
