My Beautiful Black Hair celebrates an aspect of Black femininity – natural hair – and embraces it as a central part of Black womanhood. One hundred and one Black women share their stories (and photos) of learning to love their natural hair and the immense power they found in that self-love. The author was inspired to write the book when her little sister, Khloe, came home from preschool where a classmate had told her that her hair was ugly. St. Clair’s book gives the message to Khloe and young Black women everywhere that their hair is beautiful just the way it is.
The stories she captured reveal both the depth of the physical and emotional damage done to many women by relaxing their hair and trying to make it look “acceptable,” and the incredible resilience, self-love, and acceptance they gained by learning to embrace their hair and free themselves from Eurocentric beauty standards.
