It is ridiculed, laughed at and vilified--natural black hair. School aged children are taunted and teased about it. Black women in the workplace are pressured to change it with the threat of unemployment. Professional athletes are caricatured and sneered at over it. The pressure to change our natural hair in order to "fit" in is worldwide. But why? What is it about Black Folk's Hair, our natural god given hair, that makes it the object of scorn, abuse and insult? And why are some of us going to extremes to alter, disguise or cover it up?The answers to these and many more questions are found in the pages of this natural hair book. This is the new revised edition of Black Folk's Hair. Offering male and female insights, the authors present a penetrating and updated examination into the hidden truths of Black folk's hair.Their investigation lays to rest many age-old beliefs about the subject; most of which, are inaccurate, unsuitable and offensive.They skillfully unravel the secrecy surrounding the natural hair of black people uncovering factors from history as the foundation of their inquiry. Included are their personal experiences and what they have learned from lectures, seminars and workshops conducted over the years. The Kenyattas' caring and warm approach to this hush-hush subject is not without controversy. However, when you finish this book about natural hair, you will never see Black folk's hair the same again
