Three of Opoku-Acheampong’s friends are the subjects of “Textures,” and they reveal tiresome parts of their hair-care routines that most Black women endure behind closed doors. The camera meets Taylor, Camille, and Azani at different entry points in their natural-hair journeys. Azani has probably been washing and setting her natural hair the longest. In one scene, after taking down a protective style, she spins a lock of hair into a three-strand twist.
“Being natural is an experience within itself,” Taylor says later in the film. Opoku-Acheampong also produced and edited the documentary, which she filmed five years ago, during the first year of her graduate program at U.C.L.A. She shared that, like in her other projects, the intention behind “Textures” is to capture a narrative that is “deeply personal, but speaks to something more systemic, and wider.
