Description
Summary:"Black hair has been telling stories for generations, from ponytails of ancient tribes and Nubian vibes to corn rows that mapped paths to freedom for enslaved Africans. There have been stories about dance with styles that twist and swoop and the sweetest stories of Cinna-buns and Afro puffs made perfect in the hottest kitchens. In each of these stories, one notion rings true: Black hair is everything--rich with history, a thesaurus, an atlas, and more, telling of truth, trials, and undeniable beauty."--Provided by Publisher.
