Over the last ten years, new information has emerged about how to nurture and care for Afro-textured hair, particularly from the perspective of its heritage and history.

Afro-textured hair has a complex history that was radically altered by enslavement and, even today, it means few truly understand their hair and what it takes to nurture it daily. The impacts on people’s self-esteem, self-worth, and embracement of their cultural identity have become a focal point of Sarah Roberts’ work.

And now, the renowned healthy hair consultant provides the answers in ‘You and Your Hair: The Ultimate Healthy Hair Masterclass for Afro Textured Hair’.  It’s a book that has been hundreds of years in the making.

Synopsis:

“This book goes beyond hair itself to reconnect readers with their culture, heritage and history,” explains the author. “By taking a truly holistic approach that embraces the mind, body and spirit, we can start to see our hair for the symbol is really is, and use it as a focal point of our entire wellbeing. In this book, I walk readers through everything they need to know.”

Continuing, “Our hair is as strong as our physical and mental resilience, and has embodied that strength as those of African descent have faced many injustices over the last few centuries. I want people to now move to a place of positive self-identity, emotional wellbeing and productive interpersonal relationships. This book will form a vital part of your personal growth.”
