Healthy hair is beautiful hair. And for Black women, wash day is often a sacred act of self-care, since our kinks, coils, and curls require a little more TLC. In our new series, we’re asking influential women to break down exactly what goes into their routines so you can learn their tips, tricks, and products that work for your texture and style.
If you heard a rumor that Emmy Raver-Lampman is every bit as captivating as Allison Hargreeves, the mind-controlling superhero turned actor she plays on Netflix's hit series,Even in an industry known for notoriously whitewashed work environments, Raver-Lampman has stayed true to herself and her roots. From the jump, she’s worked her natural texture on auditions, despite often being advised to wear wigs to conceal her shaved sides and bleach-blond curls.
Natural since day one, Emmy credits her mom’s love of her curls for her strong connection with her hair. “Another option was never really presented because she was just so in love with my curls,” she says. “She encouraged me to love them as much as she did.” Embracing her natural texture from an early age didn’t keep Emmy from undergoing the big chop. She cut it all off and started from scratch when she moved to New York City for college in 2007.
Now, starring on arguably one of the biggest shows on streaming television, Emmy continues to live her best life, which includes adopting a less-is-more approach to hair care—“I don't need to put a ton of products in my hair right now because I'm literally going from the shower to my couch”—shaving her head every wash day, and taking time off from red carpets and international Comic Cons to step back and really get to know her curls.
