Resumo
In the manuscript now presented there are more reflections on roots2 than on hair. Even so, it was
from a study on the processes of hair transition and hair it self, in addition to their physicality, that
an analysis of the body and how the oppressions of structural racism impact the identity construction
of black women was carried out. The hair was analyzed as a diacritical sign that can be perceived as
a mark of blackness. Therefore, it is an element capable of influencing the identity process. Curly
hair and straight hair have been studied in addition to their physical compositions, seeking to
understand their meanings, the effects on the identities of black women and situations in which
autonomy over curly or straight hair aesthetics indicates violation or enforcement of rights. Through
the analysis of the narratives acquired in the focus groups, we sought to identify, understand and
describe the effects of the hair transition, that is, the process of change about individual and
subjective perceptions about hair, in the construction of black women's identities. The narratives
about curly hair can vary, depending on its subjectivity, but they contribute to the perception of how
curly hair, as part of a black body, can become an object of shame, hatred, dissatisfaction and
repression due to racism. The meanings given by each woman to her natural hair can change during
a hair transition, positively or negatively impacting her self-esteem and producing effects on her
identity construction.
