It’s bigger than me not knowing how to do my hair. My childhood was spent in the kitchen with a hot comb and my mom, you know, figuring out how to do my hair.Īlso now that I’m on the radio, I do a lot of things in the community and all these young black girls, they’re like 9 and 10-years-old, have natural hair and I felt like when they look at me I want them to see themselves in me.
I found myself not knowing how to even do my own hair and as a black woman that doesn’t even make sense. Don’t get me wrong, I wore weaves all through college… but I found myself not being comfortable with my own hair. If you’ve already seen the supertrailer for Season 4 of “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” then you probably have a pretty good idea about just how crazy things have gotten for the 9 Mag crew… We chopped it up with Charmaine about the new season, her new look and the real on Ryan as well as whether or not she went under the knife… Check out our Q&A when you continue.īOSSIP: You have a new look for Season 4, let’s talk about it!Ĭharmaine: Even with all the drama that’s going on this season, my new look is the hardest thing that I have ever dealt with when it comes to black girl hair! So I’m natural now.Ĭharmaine: See! The fact that you have to congratulate a black girl on wearing her own hair, you know it’s a job.
