Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Hair Piece (aka Hair Piece: A Film for Nappy-Headed People) is a 1984 animated short film (ten minutes) directed by Ayoka Chenzira.It is a wryly humorous take on the complicated relationship between black women and their hair. The film notes Eurocentric standards of beauty and the desire of young black women to look like the white women they saw on movies and TV, with hair that would "blow in the wind". The narrator then talks about the whole history of hair care products meant to straighten out black women's hair, and their downsides: the hot comb (burns your scalp), hair products like Vaseline (hair loses its straightness in the rain), wigs (they make your scalp itchy) and others. Finally the narrator urges black women to wear their hair naturally. | |

Clip-Art Animation: Some of the animation consists of clip-art animation of pictures moving around. There's a motif of cut-outs of black women's faces with the hair removed, as well as cut-outs of white women with the cascading hair that black women are encouraged to want. | |
