Featuring case studies of clients who came to her looking for a hair fix, Good Hair dispels common hair myths and give you the knowledge and tools to attain good hair health. Charlotte’s expertise has been honed by three decades spent tending to afro hair and her advice acts as a corrective to the conflicting and misguided advice that can be found online. You will find such gems as how to identify your curl texture, overcoming hair loss and devising your own haircare routine.
Good Hair is not just a how-to guide for black hair. It is also a very well-documented account of the cultural and political history of black hair (covering the Black Power Movement and the rise of the Afro) as well as being an inspirational memoir of hope, determination and entrepreneurship, as we follow Charlotte’s journey from Ghana to opening her first hair salon in West London.
