From Bill Harris of Sun Media:

• A kink in the plan
  “If we were in charge of da Kink in my Hair, we would turn it into a drama. We’re not being facetious. The thought came to us as we were watching the second-season premiere of da Kink in my Hair, which airs tonight on Global. da Kink in my Hair is a Canadian sitcom set in a hair-dressing salon in Toronto’s Jamaican community. But the comedy actually is the weakest part of the show.” Read more.

“EVERYTHING IN ITS RIGHT PLACE”

With a new man in her life, Letty is finding it hard to balance motherhood, the shop and her clients – especially without Joy and Nigel around. Over at Claudette’s, Joy tries to change herself in order to fit in to the cold, sterile environment. Her spirit is hard to quash, especially in the presence of Trish Stratus, former wrestler turned media mogul. Meanwhile, left to run the shop, well-intentioned Starr tries to change the rules and finds she is alienating the whole of Letty’s clientele. In the mirror story, Nina, an overweight client, is the victim of weight discrimination at work.
