Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Curly hair was made fun of in my childhood, and I grew up thinking that straight hair was beautiful, whereas my hair was considered ugly and unruly. #2 I realized that I couldn't fight my curls any longer. I started letting my hair grow, and it turned into spirals and ringlets. Meanwhile, I searched for any information about curly hair, but there was nothing available. #3 I began conditioning my hair regularly, experimenting with different products, and letting it grow so the soft S's that are my hair's natural shape could develop. I became totally politicized about curly hair. #4 I have lived in a curl-centric world my whole life. I have had many hairstylists work with my curls, and they have always been amazed at how much hair I have. I have learned that curls are worth fighting for.
