Black women showing confidence through their hair can be seen across the field of television shows this season. Sheryl Lee Ralph’s motherly role on ABC’s “” and Cassandra Freeman’s Aunt Viv coming into her own on Peacock’s “Bel-Air” are just two examples of Black hair telling a story and informing audiences about their characters. And there are more in the mix, as department heads from Netflix’s “Queen Charlotte” and Hulu’s “Unprisoned” will also vie for Emmy consideration.
Frazier gave Ralph a short cut with a side swept bang, a look the artisan associates with a woman who’d want her appearance to be as neat and convenient as possible — yet stylish. The look also reflected Barbara’s boldness and confidence. Dre’s evolves throughout the series; as a shy and awkward young woman, Metzger styled her hair “in two puffs with bangs that lends itself to her air of naivete.” Meanwhile, by the end, she’s wearing a long ponytail to represent confidence. “When I was creating that look, I thought of it as she’s developing strength,” says Metzger. “She’s more reassured in herself.”
The politics of Black hair and the representation of Black women in the upper echelons of society were at the forefront for Araxi Lindsey, hair department head for Peacock’s “Bel-Air.”
