Review Bobbi Boss, I have never gotten so many hair compliments in my life. These were installed right before a concert and I can’t even count the number of times I was stopped by people admiring my hair. What’s unique is this style brings other cultures together for a universal admiration of feeling for hair. It wasn’t just my race of African Americans loving my hair, but Caucasian, Asian, Latina giving me compli- ments. It was young, middle class, elders and traditional-looking people giving me compli- ments. This hair sparked a conversation with myself and other races that would not have started if it wasn’t installed on my head. In a sense, these Bomba Braids are the universal harmony needed between different cultures. The length of the hair proved to be the right choice. Although getting in the car or sitting in a chair became a careful exercise, the braids wouldn’t have looked any better in any other length on me. The color was the most fasci- nating and best experience with this hair. As traditional as I am, this color has opened a Pandora’s box of styles I later want to try and highlight. I realize I shouldn’t be afraid of the stares because they’re not despising the color, but praising. The special colors are Boss’ great- est invention to this collection. 45
