For females in the African American community, the concept of hair shame is a constraint that impacts ones self-esteem, sense of self and overall well-being. Mainstream society has the ability to force and define reality, determining what is deemed as acceptable. Unfortunately for most African American women, nothing of their natural born body image aligns with that of European standards. For instance, some Black women's skin color, hair texture, body shape, and facial features must be altered in order to fall within the standard range of what is believed to be beautiful within European society. This dissertation will focus on hair texture, length, and style, an overlooked, yet, highly impactful component to overall sense of self for Black women. Internalized racism is defined as an individual's understanding and agreement with the negative racial perceptions and beliefs of themselves, when compared to the dominant culture (Williams, D. & Williams-Morris, 2000). Intracultural African American beauty standards have naively adopted European standards and in turn project self-hatred and unrealistic standards on individuals of their own culture via media images, language, generational trauma, and literature. Grounded in an extensive review of the literature, this dissertation explored how Black women develop views of their sense of self, and body image as it relates to their hair. It was determined that the origins of hair shame can be highly attributed to the influence of maternal interactions and cultural rituals. Considerable clinical information can be determined based upon mother-daughter dynamics as well as perception of hair texture, choice in style, and memory of hair combing rituals during child rearing. As a means to disseminate the literature findings, a psycho-educational booklet for professionals was developed. This method was determined as an effective strategy of offering cultural competency, current resources, and assist mental health professionals in successfully treating the needs of African American female clients.
