Their Dos Inspired Us: The Top Black Hair Heroines In Films
5. She’s Gotta Have It (1986)
Tracy Camilla Johns burned up the screen as liberated siren Nola Darling in Spike Lee’s first feature length film “She’s Gotta Have It”. As a black woman trying to navigate the sometimes precarious world of dating and engaging in sexual relationships on her own terms, Nola’s hair seemed to match her personality well — it was a strong and bold look, slightly Amazonian even, for a woman who was a bit revolutionary in her decision to challenge the status quo for the right to enjoy her sexual freedom.
