It's All Good Hair

The Essential How-to Book Illustrating the Management, Styling and Care of Black Children's Hair. In the black community, a girl whose hair was not done properly caught hell from playmates and their mothers alike. How a girl's hair looked told you a lot about "her people", so great care was taken in making sure the parts were straight and the braids neat. By the '70s and '80s, women who spent years becoming players in the business world, had daughters of their own. These women's mothers were no longer living nearby or with them, so they had to do their daughter's hair themselves, usually with disastrous results. It's All Good Hair is an essential guidebook for parents to style and care for Black children's hair - both boys and girls. This conversational, how-to book with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions features hair-care and styling tips from a variety of experts and includes photos and illustrations.
