Me, My Hair, and I: Twenty-Seven Women Untangle an Obsession by Elizabeth Benedict

4.0

Enjoyable and relatable, Me, My Hair and I is a book that all women will find something to laugh out loud over, say "I thought I was the only one" over and wonder over. Hair is so many things to us: political, sexual, individual, conforming. Apparently how we do our hair and the hair choices we make say a lot of things about us and for many women those choices indicate freedom (and sadly at times its lack). While all ages and several races are included, the absence of gay hair leaves us to long-held social stereotypes. It would have been great to hear the hairstory of a gay woman but I guess that'll have to wait. Overall it's a good read and perfect for dipping in and out of as time allows.
