The Black Womyn’s Health Collaborative hosted the quarterly Black Beauty Expo on Nov. 7, with the largest turnout they’ve had yet, according to Administrative Director of the Black Womyn’s Health Collaborative Isa Green, a third-year history of policy, law and governance major. As access to affordable hair care continues to be a struggle, with a lack of hair salons and overpriced products in Santa Barbara, students find hair health difficult to maintain.
