Tenderheaded: A Comb-Bending Collection of Hair Stories

WOW !!! What a great book on what black women and girls experience when it comes to hair. It was so enlightening about all types of styles and hair.

Great book for building community and giving an history of Black women and what we go through to meet the standard of beauty. I'm using this book in a professional development to let people know what we believe and some of the suffering experienced.

Learned some new things about Black hair.

well, as aptly described, it is certainly a comb-bending experience. The book is really to enlighten and impress all the black women and their "hair" experiences. While, anybody can read this good book, you will not be enlightened or feel at home unless you are a black woman. I like to refer to as it as "Good Reminiscing Therapy" that only a black woman can embrace. While, there was many joyful and happy moments, there were many excerpts that was out of contexts . As a Sistah, one thing that I learned was that when you try very hard to make your hair do something that is not agreeable to, you will forever work to get it to obey you. A good walk down memory lane.

This collection of short stories brought back so many memories of getting my hair pressed, relaxed and combed by my mom and grandma. :)

The book arrived on time. It is in great condition. I cannot wait to begin reading it.

This is such a delightful book, I enjoyed reading each page. Some new, some old information and many shared experiences.

it had many stories&anecdotes that i could relate to.there are many pictures included.I would recommend this to any black sister

Funny and relatable.
