On Sunday February 19, I had the opportunity to present my book Bad Hair Uprooted at Nicholas Brooklyn, a cozy Black owned store on Fulton street that sells natural health, wellness and artsy products, supporting many small businesses in the community.
Next year I have another opportunity to do an exhibition and I am elated! This time, I am aiming to go even more in-depth picturing the long time elephant in the room: Hair Loss!
Your beautiful textures, creative styles and vibrating energy made my exhibition absolutely outstanding and magnificent. So with a joyful heart I like to thank you for coming to BAD Hair Uprooted and helping me change perceptions by capturing and sharing your favorite natural hairstyles with your friends on social media.

Super exited to be invited by Aline Tacite, the power woman behind Boucles d’Ebene, I left for Paris to take part in the 10th anniversary celebration of this Natural Hair and Trade Show.

BAD Hair Uprooted; The Natural Hair & Fashion that makes a Statement: African Hair is naturally made for Show!

BAD Hair Uprooted features a decade of Liong’s work capturing African Americans wearing their hair naturally.
Choosing the best images after shooting natural hairstyles for over a decade is a close to impossible task. Yet I gave it a try. With a little bit of help from a future curator, who has a trained eye when it comes to photography, I think I selected the best portraits to picture natural hair […]
