"Finally, a book that dismantles decades upon decades of black women's hair misconceptions! Janine Jellars' conversational tone and non-prescriptive insights nudge readers in the direction of happy, healthy, natural hair!" Kemong Mopedi, features writer at Media24

"Similar experiences between Janine and I remind me that black identity/black culture is inextricably wound up in one's hair. Hair is political. It's complex, complicated and beautiful. Timely and relevant!" Masasa Mbangeni, actress

"This book is everything I've always wanted to know but didn't know who to ask. Finally!" Renate Stuurman, actress

Journalist and entrepreneur Janine Jellars grew up in Hanover Park, Cape Town, and currently lives in Johannesburg.
