A Quick Ting on The Black Girl Afro is the book we've been waiting for on Black hair experiences
A Quick Ting On The Black Girl Afro covers a gamut of topics related to Black hair, including the history and politics of the afro, microaggressions and cultural appropriation, as well as the science of Black hair and the industry that surrounds it.
I'm really obsessed with A Quick Ting On - the afro hair and plantain one in particular.
