About the book

From the myth of Medusa to the fraught tale of Samson, hair has always been a key component of cultural identity. And never more so than for black and Asian folk. Hair is surrounded by traditions, legends, folklore, myth and everyday frustrations and joys. Twists, dreads, comb styles, weaves, afro'd and treated: every style has its own stories, occasions and meanings. Each one says a different thing about how people present themselves to the world and each are included in this enthralling book.
