I have 20 wigs at home that I play with.
As a black woman, there's so much pride and communication through hair. It's naturally something that you are excited to embellish on and be creative about.
To sculpt a head of hair with scissors is an art form. It's in pursuit of art.
I'm in love with wigs. I get them custom-made, and I have my hairstylist shape them to my head. I can go from short to long in less than a minute!
For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.
I'm a dark blonde, yes. I dyed my hair blue, then black, when I was 14. I thought the colour was more flattering and matched my skin tone. I don't think I'd ever change back unless it was for a film.
I had a faux-hawk for a while and I used to buzz the sides and design it. It was really bad.
My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous.
Braids are not new. Black women have been wearing braids for a very long time.
I've always been intrigued by color and by interesting hair. I was one of those weird little girls doing my own hair at the age of 9. I was, like, getting weird gels and new brushes and cornrow holders. I would tweak and perm at the age of 13.
I was a hairstylist in London up until the age of 21, working in Sloane Square.
Working in a salon, you look at trends all day long. You're looking at color all the time, what new products are coming out. You're a part of the fashion industry, especially if you're working in a higher-end salon.
As well as being a creative genius, Vidal Sassoon was a formative figure of the Sixties. Along with the Pill and the mini-skirt, his influence was truly liberating.
I always had influences musically with punk, and then growing up, I dyed my hair every color. I did the dip-dye blue, before anybody was dip-dyeing their hair. And streaks of pinks and purples and whatnot.
Vidal Sassoon was the most famous hairstylist in the history of the world.
Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves. It's not recognised by enough people as a worthy craft.
My mom was a hairdresser. My aunt was a hairdresser. My brother was a hairdresser. My sisters are hairdressers.
Growing up, I was the preferred hairstylist for all of my friends.
My hair has always been a definitive part of my personal style, so I love being part of a campaign that celebrates hair as a form of expression.
I clearly love colors in my hair and try to keep my hair evolving through the years.
My hairdresser loves me because he gets the liberty to get creative with my hair.
If you get hold of a head of hair on somebody you've never seen before, cut beautiful shapes, cut beautiful architectural angles and she walks out looking so different - I think that's masterful.
Hair excited me. As the old ways - backcombing, rollers and rigidity - went out of the window, I started to feel the possibilities in front of my eyes.
The bubble bowl! Yes, that made my career, and I should be grateful. I was stomping my feet when Garren was giving me that haircut. It's hard to say to a 17-year-old girl in 1993 that a bowl haircut was cool.
Vidal Sassoon changed hair forever.
