## Caption

I’ve easily invested over five figures into my hair in just the last 2–3 years. On top of that, there have been overpriced or unavailable hair products, long days and late nights in salons, learning and protecting my natural hair while facing microaggressions, mental breakdowns, and sometimes using my last dollars just to be presentable — just for a chance to make it in America. I highly recommend reading The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid by @Anna Gifty  #blackhair #blackgirlmagic #sewin #4c #corporate
