Humans need symbols, amulets and tools to forge identities from imaginations to make things, to change things and to give history physical form. The Hot Comb is one of the rare objects specific to Black girl and women’s culture, particularly in the US. It’s complicated, useful, charged with memory and well designed.

With the intention to honor their Black American female history, share the stories held in the object and inspire understanding and connection, designer Lorraine West and former fashion editor, writer, Image activist and the Creator of Hulu’s New Series The Hair Tales, Michaela angela Davis after years of having an editor to designer relationship, have collaborated to bring the hidden history, complex utility and resilient beauty of their childhood symbol into a precious precisely designed jewelry collection.
