The author, Mindy Kaling, emphasizes the unimportance of natural hair in the entertainment industry, particularly in Hollywood. She argues that regardless of its color, length, or thickness, the hair on one's head holds no real value within the context of fame and television. The portrayal of people's natural hair is often limited to specific, less glamorous contexts, suggesting a disparity between reality and cinematic ideals.

Kaling further highlights the unrealistic standards of beauty prevalent in Hollywood, noting that while one's natural hair color may suit their complexion, it becomes irrelevant in the pursuit of fame. In this industry, adherence to those standards demands a departure from authenticity, signifying a broader commentary on societal expectations and image.”
