Charlotte Mensah: Queen of the 'fro

Charlotte Mensah was the first black woman to be inducted into the British Hairdressing Hall of Fame.

Charlotte talks about her journey to becoming 'Queen of the 'fro' and says she was bullied for hair as a child. When she was 16, her life changed as she got a job at the UK's first luxury Afro-Caribbean salon, Splinters, in London.

This video includes an account of racial bullying.
