I’m sure it’ll surprise no one when I say I had a complicated relationship with my hair growing up. Desis are supposed to have this super glossy, shiny, long, full straight hair and I had - and have - a gigantic curly mane. And that’s just on my head. 

I’ve got hair on my arms and legs, face, stomach. Once, in the third grade, my friend helped me shave my mustache - secretly, quietly, in her bathroom - and I had a lot of explaining to do when I got home. So if there’s a silver lining with mask wearing, it’s that I’m sitting in the threading chair a lot less these days.

In this episode of Brown Mom, I talk to Hitha Palepu about hair. Hitha Palepu is a multi-hyphenate - an entrepreneur and investor, an author, a wife and mother. And while she says she spends more time than she should on Instagram, I'm glad she does. Her Insta content speaks deeply to me.
