abstract="This rejoinder to Irwin et al. is written to address several concerns regarding &quot;Myth #4: Personal Appearance Limitations&quot; in their recent article. Constraints to leisure are complex and become more complicated when race, culture, family socialization, and hair are combined. Despite the data-driven evidence which they argue refutes &quot;Myth 4&quot; there are several practical concerns that are raised toward better understanding the responses of African American females in the study. We posit that a heightened understanding of the interaction between culture, race, and gender in the case of African American females is vital to the interpretation of the data associated with &quot;Myth 4.&quot;<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
