Getting wiggy with Twiggy Jalloh and Gina Knight
Episode notes
Wigs and weaves play integral roles in the culture of black beauty. Whether as a form of visual and creative expression, a protective hairstyle or an attempt to assimilate to Eurocentric beauty standards, each person's motivations differ.
We're joined by Twiggy Jalloh, beauty and lifestyle writer at British Vogue, and award-winning wig designer, Gina Knight to explore the complexities of hair pieces and extensions, personal experiences and outward exceptions, while discussing what goes into creating the ultimate constructions. We talk lace fronts and closures, tracks and glues, styling and maintenance, and hair textures.
