Book Description
“As far as neatly and efficiently chronicling African Americans and the importance of their hair, Hair Story gets to the root of things.” —Philadelphiaweekly.com Hair Story is a historical and anecdotal exploration of Black Americans’ tangled hair roots. A chronological look at the culture and politics behind the ever-changing state of Black hair from fifteenth-century Africa to the present-day United States, it ties the personal to the political and the popular. Read about: Why Black American slaves used items like axle grease and eel skin to straighten their hair. How a Mexican chemist straightened Black hair using his formula for turning sheep’s wool into a minklike fur. How the Afro evolved from militant style to mainstream fashion trend. What prompted the creation of the Jheri curl and the popular style’s fall from grace. The story behind Bo Derek’s controversial cornrows and the range of reactions they garnered. Major figures in the history of Black hair are presented, from early hair-care entrepreneurs Annie Turnbo Malone and Madam C. J. Walker to unintended hair heroes like Angela Davis and Bob Marley. Celebrities, stylists, and cultural critics weigh in on the burgeoning sociopolitical issues surrounding Black hair, from the historically loaded terms “good” and “bad” hair, to Black hair in the workplace, to mainstream society’s misrepresentation and misunderstanding of kinky locks. Hair Story is the book that Black Americans can use as a benchmark for tracing a unique aspect of their history, and it’s a book that people of all races will celebrate as the reference guide for understanding Black hair. “A comprehensive and colorful look at a very touchy subject.” —Essence

Book Description
"My Hair Story" encourages our girls to see the value of being themselves, appreciating their individual beauty, and embracing their authentic self-- starting with their hair! They are never too young to learn self-love and that everyone is a little different from each other. Our differences are our strengths, and "My Hair Story" teaches children these values in a gentle way they will understand. The decision to write this book was based on experiences with my own daughter. As someone who wore braids and weaves quite often for work, I was asked by my then 6-year-old if she could wear weaves and that she wanted longer, softer textured hair. This became more and more frequent and I realized this needed some attention. "My Hair Story" imparts values of self love and teaches children to embrace the things that make them unique!
