The body is the canvas upon which women paint their secrets and
self-doubt, their hopes and their dreams, their pain and their
disappointments. Hair has historically played a central role in the
battles for power, self-determination and autonomy--serving as a
nonverbal language that represents women's lives. However, pain,
anxiety, racism, sexism and rigid beauty standards can too often
underlie these stories. Modern events like the Black Lives Matter
movement and the Covid-19 pandemic have exposed the societal
barriers that have prevented the free and equitable expression of
hair. Although countless books and articles address body image, the
personal psychology and the universal, entangled and lifelong
meaning of hair have been missing. This work fills this niche,
empowering women to understand complex hair-head-heart connections
as well as the many sociocultural and relational pressures they
have experienced regarding hair. Above all, the text emphasizes
that hair is never just hair.
