7:08Now PlayingIn this series directed by Liza Mandelup, we explore the very different faces of American beauty today. From the picket-fenced suburbia of Long Island to the pastel-coloured storefronts of Miami, we examine the transformative powers of a hairstyle, and the cultural meanings that come with it. Braided, curled, flat-ironed, whipped back and forth, in the first episode we travel to South Central, Los Angeles, for the cheapest and best weave in town, and where we meet the women of Mr & Mrs Salon for whom a trip to the hairdressers is about so much more than just hair.
