If You Like My Hair...Just Relax! - Paperback

by Shemica S. Huff (Editor), Keke Chanel (Author)

Harmony Jackson has been torn for years about her self-esteem, being true to herself and fitting in amongst her peers. Given a perm at the tender age of five, Harmony was blinded by what her own mother and society deemed "beautiful". Having her hair fall out, being teased, and years of covering who she truly is with weaves and wigs, Harmony decides to embrace herself by changing her lifestyle, first starting with a "big chop". Low and behold, her life changes for the better, more than she could have ever imagined. She realizes that she is beautiful inside and out and who she is, is determined by her love for herself in order for others to love her back. Transitioning to "natural" saved Harmony from living in denial and accepting what society says is "politically correct". Who knew it all stemmed from the way she wore her hair?
