The World's Racist Standard Of Beauty: Hair

Hair especially on Women has a hierarchy which closely links to the world's racist standard of beauty. 

Straight blond hair


















Women with blond hair are seen as the most beautiful which is why you see so many Women and even Men dying their hair blond to emulate this beautiful colour. Anytime you see a beautiful woman being depicted by a media source she will most definitely have either blond or brunette hair.

Curly hair





Curly hair isn't seen as ideally as straight blond or brunette hair however its a better option compared to tightly coiled ''Afro'' textured hair. Curly hair is seen as unmanageable, crazy and it must be ''tamed'' to be seen out in public. Curly hair of course, is more acceptable on European people by default than people with darker skin.

Afro-Textured hair

                                         

Now we reach the bottom of the hierarchy, Afro-textured hair the most hated, despised and looked down upon of hair types in the world. Afro-textured hair goes by many de-grading names such as; nappy, picky hair, bad hair (in comparison to ''good hair'') and many other names I'm probably unaware of at the current time. Women with this hair type tend to perm it or cover it with weave, wigs and scarfs.
