Before and After

There's nothing like watching some good television at the end of a long day. Last night I tuned in to "A Different World" a favorite of mine. It was an episode from a later season and I took notice to Freddie's appearance. Freddie is the campus hippie, always fighting for a cause and on her way to a law degree.

The college co-ed has this head of big, curly hair as an accessory to her eccentric style. But as her character develops through the seasons, her hair becomes more "tame" and she takes on a seemingly conservative appearance. In one episode, Ron doesn't become attracted to her until her hair is straightened. I shared Freddie's sentiment; check it out.

Outside of this episode, this character continues this balancing act of staying true to herself and complying with the rules of the corporate world. Why does she have to change her natural hair to fit the different aspects of her life? 

'Til the next mane event,
