Publisher's Synopsis
A proper introduction is due for the black woman and her hair. To actively put the world on notice that by no means do we pose a threat because we've chosen to display our most authentic selves. For years a negative system has been associated with Black Natural Hair, which in turn has created a culture of women who do not recognize their own reflections. Civil Rights activist, Angela Davis said, "I am remembered as a hairdo, it is humiliating because it reduces a politics of liberation to a politics of fashion." Spending years in a version that's deemed worthy of society's standard of beauty, takes hard work and dedication. The trials and errors involved take a toll on you, but once you perfect, the possibilities are endless. The rewards such as acceptance, promotion, and recognition for someone otherwise considered invisible make it all worthwhile. But what happens when your health and other factors ignite a desire to know who you truly are becomes a priority? There's no handbook on how to become acquainted with your Natural Hair until now...
