  This episode of CarWaxx we talk to a few ladies on how their hair is part of there everyday life and who they are. But at the same time we talk about how ladies do what they have to do to balance that life and the personal decision on how they want their hair. We talk about natural hair, weaves, extensions, et cetera. Also what impact does their hair choices impact their financial situation and societys reception of women of color who wear their natural hair.

  Then, is there a market for women of color to capitalize on the huge billion dollar hair market, or is it something the corporate world and black society leaves in the hand of others? And does this have any effect on a woman self esteem? Big question!!
