“One time I wore four braids in my hair...I was told that I could not wear more than two. And in that
moment, I was like, OK. I just went with the flow, so normalized. Right?... But when I look back at it, who wears braids? What culture wears braids? And why do we wear braids? to protect our natural hair. So when you say I can't wear braids, you're attacking my community.” - Aleshia Ocasio

The game day hair routine for Black athletes is important in the protection of natural hairstyles.In
this episode we followed three of our athletes as they got ready and talked through the different
products and methods they use to keep their hair protected on game day.
