Hair Care

A person with curly, shoulder-length hair stands with their back to the camera, using both hands to style or adjust their hair. They are wearing a white top and a few gold bracelets on their right wrist. Various hair care products are visible in the background, reminiscent of a grandmother's loving touch.

Hair Care is a short documentary film created in The Representation Project’s 2021 Youth Media Academy. This short documentary film explores Cadence’s relationship with her natural hair and the beautiful memories of her grandmother doing her hair when she was a little girl.
