HAIR: FROM MOPTOPS TO MOHICANS AFROS TO CORNROWS (HB)

During the Rococo period, wealthy women tucked shells, necklaces, fruit and flowers into their hair. In 1970s London, disfranchised youth drew on a 2,000-year-old Native American practice. Black Americans in the ‘60s signalled their opposition to racism by not styling their naturally frizzy hair. Each double-page spread in this book offers an engaging description of a hair trend or style and its cultural and historic significance. Filled with important history and giggle-inducing facts, it provides an important lesson about self- expression that will encourage readers of all ages to let down their hair.
