informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

 Those well versed in the general black hair culture will find this contains entry level information. For those of us who are ignorant to the important intersection of black hair and the many cultural origins, we will find this a welcoming way to learn information. The audiobook is narrated very well and is not dry like the physical book could appear to some readers.

I have never learnt so much from such a concise book. I feel privileged to have got to read it, as it maps millions upon millions of overlapping stories spanning four continents.
