Hair! | Spencer Cohen | TEDxTheBenjaminSchool


hi I’m Spencer Cohen and today I will

talk about the big thing on my head or

what I call an afro an afro is just a

big ball hair a lot of people comment on

my hair saying hey Spencer and I screw

or you should get that thang cut or can

you fit a pencil in there and oh it’s in

there I can’t get it out oh here it is

yeah there’s a little tangled the only

comment I have not gotten was expensive

a 70s called they want their a throwback

I’m here to tell you don’t be somebody

you aren’t be you that is the main

reason why I grew on my hair express

yourself the way you dress the way you

talk the people you love the way you

style your hair hair can define you if

you have super private care people can

assume that you’re hard-working because

you worked on your hair we can have

luscious locks and people will think

you’re living version of Marilyn Monroe

also people judge you on your hair color

in a 2010 study conducted by the

Queensland University of Technology it

suggested that woman with long blonde

hair gets paid seven percent more than a

woman with different color hair and

according to an article in Forbes it

said a contractor complain about some of

his workers being late to the work site

he called them long haired slackers can

you believe he blamed them being late on

their hair when right i was in college

which was all the way back in the 70s he

grew out his hair so could be an afro he

decided to go out his hair because he

never had an effort before any wanted to

see what it would look like because of

his hair white I was known as the fun

and chill guy and he still is today

because of his hair I decided to grow up

mine and ever since people know he has a

guy with the best hair the afro

hairstyle was first formed by PT

Barnum’s Circassian beauties who were

also called Moss haired girls at the

time the hair cell was not originally

called an afro don’t learn a civil

rights movement of the 1960s the adver

played a major political role at this

time the black society was pushing for

equal rights the civil rights were going

to trigger to change in the way black

people saw themselves naturally

including their hair texture in the

african-american community there was a

new appreciation for black hair

resulting in the popular for

Black is Beautiful another hairstyle

that is very similar in many ways it’s

called in Israel or a jewfro and yes

it’s an actual term some people would do

for us are Seth Rogen will ferrell jonah

hill andy samberg and surprisingly the

rapper drake here plays a big roll music

myths movies sports fairy tales and much

more some seniors with very well-known

hairstyles are pink Billy Preston and

Bob Marley but I think the person with

the best hair is a painter named Bob

Ross Bob Ross this flow is absolutely

amazing I think he should have canceled

his own show the joy of painting it

started a new show called the joy of my

hair but his hair really measure your

success in the vodka 538 it said that

girls with long hair are associated with

decreased forcefulness and high

maintenance and that gray hair on a man

makes them seem more professional and

that gray hair on a woman makes it seem

like a less desirable employee did you

know that the average woman spends 14

hours a year at the hairdresser this

adds up to 36 days over a lifetime also

did you know that the hair industry

makes five billion 500 billion dollars a

year to put that into context that’s boo

cakes net worth 0 x 6 it was just

because it makes you feel good then

great you should spend a lot of time on

your hair but if it’s because you feel

pressure to conform then you should just

let your hair be what it is like me I

just have to spray some water on my hair

and then I’m done this offer may not be

a burden but it is something that

definitely identifies me my hair makes

me me thank you [Applause]
