Camille Friend, the visionary lead hairstylist behind the movie Black Panther, sat down with TODAY Style, the online magazine of the TODAY Show, to talk about her philosophy on keeping hair moisturized and shiny, as well as the impact the film’s beautiful display of natural hair is making on global audiences.
‘Black Panther’ hit at the right time. It’s the embrace of black hair, it’s the embrace of freedom of expression, and I think those are the things people think about when they think about ‘Black Panther.’
The ‘magic’ combination of cream and oil
“My philosophy with natural hair, and almost any type of hair, to make it beautiful and shiny you have to have a mixture of cream and oil. If you put too much cream, sometimes the hair doesn’t absorb it. If you put too much oil, the hair makes it heavy. So I call it the perfect combination or the perfect storm — it’s the cream and the oil together, that’s where the magic happens.”
