Transcript
00:00This is V Bozeman and this is my hair story. In my career I had a season of girl groups and you
00:11know I dyed, fried, cut, weaved, everything. So when that era was over I was like you know what
00:17let me just start over. It's way easier, trust. I'm just a regular girl from South Central LA
00:24that's just comfortable in her skin. I'm still the roundaway girl and I can still be
00:29my full self. I'm not neo-soul, I'm not you know prior to the people. It's just it's
00:38just a stereotypical type of you know point of view. I feel like it's the
00:43history, it's the culture. You know my family we grew up, the women grew up
00:49feeling like you know grow her hair out you know and it was a big deal when I cut
00:55my hair. I mean my grandmother didn't talk to me for months because she felt so
00:59betrayed because I had a lot of hair so I just feel like they think it's easier

01:11hard to be black walking in you know black shoes so I think hair kind of made
01:16it more easier but it doesn't. It really doesn't. My dating life is oh so much more
01:25interesting than it was before because I feel like men are more attracted to me
01:31because they feel like I'm I have a sense of confidence that they're not always

01:42when I feel like the whole world kind of embrace V Bozeman you know more. So when I
01:47cut it off I just really saw myself for the first time and I just decided that I
01:55liked what I saw. I was like oh yeah I like that girl I'm enough this is cool.
