My Beautiful Black Hair Book: 101 Natural Hair Stories from the Sisterhoood

This compelling coffee table book features 101 interviews with Black women on the deep, complex, and meaning relationships they have with their natural hair.

St. Clair Detrick-Jules was inspired to write the book when her little sister, Khloe, came home from preschool where a classmate had told her that her hair was ugly. St. Clair wanted to send a message to Khloe and young Black women everywhere that their hair is beautiful just the way it is.

The stories she captured reveal both the depth of the physical and emotional damage done to many women by relaxing their hair and trying to make it look "acceptable," and the incredible resilience, self-love, and acceptance they gained by learning to embrace their hair and free themselves from Eurocentric beauty standards.

“A powerful celebration of self-acceptance and sisterhood.” – Kirkus Review
