Hair Matters: A journey to hair love for people of colour (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789769746305)

In Hair Matters, author Caren Nelson looks at the ever-present issues surrounding hair, leading the reader to gain an appreciation for how matters of the hair on our heads matter - in fact, much more than one would think. Hair matters in the workplace, in our relationships, to our self-esteem and in so many other ways. Using personal anecdotes interwoven with researched material, the author takes the reader on a journey from her childhood experiences of having her hair washed and combed to the adult experience of learning how to handle and care for her own hair. In doing so, she moves from the scientific through the historical to the practical.
Set out in a conversational style over five chapters, Hair Matters is a must-read for anyone who has ever faced discrimination due to their hair, for those who are ambivalent about their hair, for people who have ever experienced frustration and hatred for their hair, and for any and everyone who has or has ever had hair growing out of their scalps.
