Hair Stories

is a series of excerpted interviews and portraits of a diverse array of women

which explores the complex relationship women have with their hair. Photographer Rohina Hoffman used her interviewing skills, which she developed in her training as

a neurologist, to establish an intimate rapport that allowed for a truthful telling about

the impact of hair in these womens' lives. Though it was conceived and shot before

the #MeToo movement, this salient project presents hair as a metaphor for identity,

femininity, and the manner in which women struggle for control over their own

bodies in a misogynistic world. Hair Stories reflects that hair is more than just style or aesthetics; it is a physical manifestation of the history of women.
