The anticipation for 'New Weave Day' reflects a desire to embrace new identities through hair transformations, regardless of race. The conversation highlights cultural shifts in beauty standards, extending beyond traditional confines. A previous relationship served as a catalyst for self-realization, demonstrating how external perceptions can shape personal expressions. Hair serves as a metaphor for change, with the protagonist yearning for dramatic transformations as a form of empowerment. The dynamics of past relationships illustrate contrasting viewpoints on self-expression and the importance of individuality in defining beauty.
Bianca and I had been eagerly waiting for our makeovers, or 'New Weave Day,' as we called it, from day one. 'You better be ready,' she told me. 'It's not just Black girls getting weaves anymore; they do them on white girls now too.'
I'd always wanted to be a person who drastically changed their hair on a whim; I'd just never had the means. I love the drama of a big hair reveal.
When I first saw it, I was shocked. 'Do you not like it?' he asked. 'No, no, I'm just surprised, that's all.'
Just before I left to film the show, my new boyfriend and I laughed about the man who wouldn't talk to me if I cut my hair.
