What does the shape of your hair says about you? | Pamela Ferrell | TEDxVCU

Human beings are often described by what their hair looks like rather than by the shape of their hair strand. A hair artist expert discovers the hair strand is the key to connecting people in a beautiful way. After collecting, categorizing and photographing more than 100 samples of hair she shows the distinct differences that we share.

After being fired because of her hairstyle Pamela Ferrell became a hair expert by default. She created a movement to help people embrace and love their hair in order to change discriminating hair policies in the workplace and the US Armed Forces. The beauty of her hair artistry can be seen in the film Daughter’s of the Dust, and on artist like Diana Ross. The National Museum of African-American History and Culture has on display one of her four publications referring to her as the pioneer of Natural Hair Care.
