“BABYBANGZ,” a new documentary short directed by Juliana Kasumu, is a love letter both to the community surrounding a New Orleans salon and to natural-hair care. Watch here.
Kasumu’s documentary focusses on the traditions of Black hair care—and on the artist and entrepreneur Anastasia Ebel.
“BABYBANGZ,” a new documentary short directed by Juliana Kasumu, focusses on the traditions of Black hair care and Ebel’s story as an artist, entrepreneur, and a community educator. Kasumu’s natural-hair journey is a familiar one. Her story began in London, when she was ten years old and her auntie applied her first kiddie relaxer. “My journey was one of believing, at first, that there wasn’t much versatility in my hair,” she said.
“I’ve probably done thousands of big chops. I give everybody the same ring-around. Everybody has a genuine experience, but there’s levels of psychology I have to hit when I’m doing a big chop,” Ebel says in the film, while flat-twisting a client’s hair.
