We Are Spiraling

We talk about curly hair to learn more about our culture — from how we perceive ourselves to how the world sees us.

Priya Anand, an award-winning journalist whose work has been featured in Bloomberg, Businessweek, the Wall Street Journal, Buzzfeed and Politico, turns her investigative eye to her lifelong obsession: curly hair.

You might think: curly hair, how much is there to say?

A whole podcast dedicated to this? I don’t want to hear someone ramble about all their hair lotions and potions!

But there is so much to unravel about why so many people hide their ringlets as secret curlies, how politicians who wear their hair curly are vilified and what Hollywood’s hostility toward curls means for our society.
