Cultural Bereavement Hair
Meaning ❉ Cultural Bereavement Hair is the profound grief from the disconnection of textured hair practices and meaning from their ancestral roots due to historical oppression.
Meaning ❉ Ancestral Hair Disconnection refers to a gentle parting from the long-held wisdom and specific care approaches passed down through generations for textured hair, particularly within Black and mixed-race lineages. This often manifests as an incomplete grasp of the unique structural needs of these hair types, making it difficult to establish systematic care routines that truly serve them. Consequently, applying effective daily practices becomes a challenge, often leading to hair that feels less vibrant and a lessened sense of connection to one’s hair story.
