Before You Comb Your Hair

The natural hair movement was a powerful and radical movement that inspired self-acceptance and cultural pride, however, recent years, including the pandemic lockdowns, led many to re-evaluate the effort involved in caring for their natural hair, with some returning to chemical hair straighteners. Questions about why the dislike, texturism, and societal pressures faced by those with afro-textured hair continue to persist inspired the writing of this book. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
