My Divine Natural Hair

Women

“In the early 1990's there was a resurgence of natural hairstyles on the campuses of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and in African-American culture. Like they did for previous generations, these natural hairstyles connected us to our heritage: Africa. At the same time black people were tired of chemicals, haircuts, and grooming standards set by others. Natural hair is simply just us. We are and have always been beautiful and handsome, naturally. We need more books about natural hair. Thank you Burlock family for empowering women, men, boys and girls and inspiring them to wear their hair naturally. We thank the Burlocks for this gem that points us to our natural beauty. -Rev. Carey A. and Mrs. India Grady, Senior Pastor, Reid Chapel AME Church, Columbia, South Carolina”
