King also said the topic of “black hair” is a subject most black women are passionate about.

“African American women are crazy about their hair,” King said. “They are becoming more culturally and spiritually conscious about their hair — moving from chemically processed to more natural … we chose ‘hair’ because it affects and has an impact on a lot of African American women.”
