The interview opened with Marcia explaining what she thinks of the word “nappy.” She says that she thinks of “soft, fun, free, and curly”. I like that! She also mentions that she grew up in Guyana as a child, and that she didn’t even know of the word “nappy” until she moved to the U.S.
Marcia also pointed out that the naturally coily and curly look is being embraced more and more, particularly in commercials. This is something that I’ve noticed, too. Could this be related to why more black women are going natural?
Regina asked Marcia about her signature mohawk style, and Marcia replied, “Ten years ago, I told my clients that the next big style was going to be the mohawk. They didn’t believe me, so I told them that the next time they saw me, I would have a mohawk and a new tattoo on my neck.” Need I say more? Obviously, the mohawk is one of the hottest styles for all hair textures and types.
