What would you buy if I give you $200?







  • Let's say that I’m giving each of you a hypothetical $200 USD or £200 to spend on  hair products at Amazon.
  • Head over to Amazon's hair products (US) or Amazon UK's hair products (UK) and surf around and see what you’d buy with it (flat irons, hair dryers, relaxers, or other products anything goes).
  • Come back here and in comments section tell us what you’d buy with it – share a link to it on Amazon if you like and tell us why you’d buy it.

  • Choose as many products as you like – just try to keep the total down under $200!

    PS: note: this is… strictly hypothetical (or your own) money!!!!!

    Black Woman

    Poem by Senghor
    Black Woman
    Naked woman, black woman
    Clothed with your colour which is life,
    with your form which is beauty

    In your shadow I have grown up; the
    gentleness of your hands was laid over my eyes.

    And now, high up on the sun-baked
    pass, at the heart of summer, at the heart of noon,
    I come upon you, my Promised Land,
    And your beauty strikes me to the heart
    like the flash of an eagle.

    Naked woman, dark woman
    Firm-fleshed ripe fruit, sombre raptures
    of black wine, mouth making lyrical my mouth
    Savannah stretching to clear horizons,
    savannah shuddering beneath the East Wind's
    eager caresses

    Carved tom-tom, taut tom-tom, muttering
    under the Conqueror's fingers

    Your solemn contralto voice is the
    spiritual song of the Beloved.

    Naked woman, dark woman
    Oil that no breath ruffles, calm oil on the
    athlete's flanks, on the flanks of the Princes of Mali
    Gazelle limbed in Paradise, pearls are stars on the
    night of your skin

    Delights of the mind, the glinting of red
    gold against your watered skin

    Under the shadow of your hair, my care
    is lightened by the neighbouring suns of your eyes.

    Naked woman, black woman,
    I sing your beauty that passes, the form
    that I fix in the Eternal,

    Before jealous fate turn you to ashes to
    feed the roots of life.


    The Black woman in this poem is Senegal (West Africa).
