Kinky Curly Coily Festival: Celebrating Black hair in Austin

The Kinky Curly Coily Festival celebrated everything about black hair.

Black hair is versatile. You can braid it, fro it, loc it and so much more...

I actually do some of my student's hair as well," said Worlds. "It helps me form better relationships with my kids. I am pretty sure I use a hair analogy with my kids to tell them why we use math in the real world."

For local artist and songwriter Ivy Roots, her natural hair is a symbol of freedom...

"We like to change our hair up," said Worlds. "I wear wigs all the time."

A celebration of black hair but she wears wigs.

You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich.

When are the white or Asian hair festivals?

I’m sure there’s a lot of bald-headed white guys who’d look good with an afro. With a hair transplant guess where the doner area would be?

Isn’t blonde hair on a black woman cultural appropriation?

Does swirled blonde or reddish hair on an Orangeman count as something to celebrate? Guess I’d get thrown out of the festival for suggesting that.

Pretty sure?
Not positive?

I'm think she has a possible justification for basic arithmetic. But maybe she fails to provide her students with any reason to go beyond that. Might be "acting white" to know algebra or geometry or calculus.

Sorry. Not allowed. Something centering only on one race and one type of hair from one race is racist and not acceptable. Would show exclusiveness, prejudice and bias.

Unless one is black.

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy, shining
Gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka dotted, twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled and sphagettied

RE: Kinky, Curly, Coily Festival....


Kinky, Moe and Curly are the festival’s opening act.

Kinky Curly Fries free with all hamburger orders.

If opposing groups have a “disagreement” are they allowed to start firing handguns at random and then run away in luxury SUVs?

Happens at a lot of parties lately.

They won't feel left out soon. Arriving in ten vehicles weighted down in back with heavy loads of weapons and ammo. Not empty handed.

Nothing left to lose, according to the song.

True dat.

Urban slang: An emphatic statement of agreement or affirmation.

Clearly something wrong here!

Not one word about Kinky Friedman???
He had kinky hair and was from Austin?????

I don’t think he’s in prison or anything?
So where is the rest of the story?
