Gotta Be Glued…Seriously?

During this episode, the cast discusses the "Tessica Brown Gorilla Glue" hair fiasco. How did Miss Brown find herself in such a sticky situation? Was the public’s reaction warranted and fair? How far are women willing to go to ensure they look their best? We will further examine the history of the relationship black women have with their hair and how it led to the desire for a flawless doo by any means necessary.

Special guest, Faith Gadal, joins us for this layered conversation.
