INFINITY

INFINITY is a visual project meant to showcase Black beauty in the past, present, and future. Growing up with a mother who is a cosmetologist, I had the privilege of spending time in the salon she worked at when I was a child. There were multiple Black hair stylists in the salon whom specialized in different styles. The hairstyles ranged from short cuts, pin ups, braids, twists, press n curls, crimps, and more. These styles were common especially in the 90s and early 2000s. My favorite part of growing up in the salon was viewing the various hair magazines; Black Hair, Hype Hair, and others where you could choose a hairstyle you wanted. These styles are still prevalent today in Black culture.
