Growing up as a second-generation Indian immigrant, Kajal Odedra remembers the first time she cut her waist-length hair. It was an act of rage, of defiance, an attempt to push back against societal expectations and regain control. Odedra realised at an early age that hair is never "just hair," and both its presence and absence can have a profound impact on our lives across race, gender, and sexuality. Whilst hair is a powerful form of self-expression, it is also a political battleground, where bodies are policed and normative beauty standards wreak havoc.
