For hairstylist Janice Mascarenhas, braids and curls are a canvas for painting and a universal love language.
A fine-tooth comb morphs into a geometric sculpture when it's attached to the ends of face-framing pieces; crystals makeacross the wearer's forehead; and brass keys clink together as neat plaits sway at the slightest tilt of the neck.
Then there are the organic elements in Mascarenhas's kit: Lately, they have been creating heavenly hair sculptures with clay. The idea came to them on a trip through their. While visiting a small Black community — a family, really — in the countryside of Piauí, Mascarenhas began doing hair using Earth's natural resources.
One thing they've discovered through it all? No matter where they are, if there are Afro-descended people, Mascarenhas can communicate: "Even if we can't speak the same language, there is always hair."
