Beautifying the Body explores the deep cultural roots and modern expressions of African body adornment.

Examining Afro-textured hair, braiding traditions, beard culture, skin care, scarification, tattooing, textiles and the symbolism of colour, Christelle Kedi connects ancient Egyptian and Nubian aesthetics to contemporary global beauty practices. The book considers both spiritual traditions and the modern cosmetics industry, addressing questions of identity, representation and safe personal care.

Blending historical research with contemporary relevance, this illustrated volume is essential reading for students of African history and culture, as well as for readers seeking informed perspectives on Black beauty, heritage and self-expression.
