In this anthology about Black women's hair and beauty, some of the world's most inspiring black women tell us about their attitudes to, and struggles with, their crowning glory. Kinky, wavy, straight or curly, this book celebrates Black women's natural beauty, however they choose to style their hair.
With an overview of the politics and history of Black women's hair, the book explores how Black hairstyles have played a part in the fight for social justice and the promotion of Black culture while inspiring us to challenge outdated notions of beauty, gender and sexuality for young women and girls everywhere.
The power is in our hair. And we've come to tell the world what ours can do!
