“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.” -  aleshiaocasio The game day hair routine for Black athletes is important in the protection of natural hairstyles. In #Episode4 of #HittingHome, we followed aj_andrews_, aleshiaocasio, & jazmynrenee as they got ready and talked through the different products and methods they use to keep their hair protected on game day.  "Black Hair and Softball" will be released tomorrow at 1 PM ET on our YouTube channel and highlighther IGTV 🖤 #BeUnlimited
