All hair should be free to follow its natural course and character without suffering from cruel or unusual hair treatments. Hair should be free to grow short or long, kinky or straight, or to be blonde, black, red or purple. When a beauty company, stylist or trend authority of any type promotes the idea that these truths are not self-evident, we should declare our right to be free from ancient hair rituals, from distasteful stereotypes, damaging hair treatments, self-defeating beauty products, short-sighted cosmetology education and arbiters of conformity.
