Me, My Hair, and I: Twenty-Seven Women Untangle an Obsession by Elizabeth Benedict
4.0
A few years ago when I heard about this book on Book Riot I was really excited and felt a deep sense of comradery...even though I hadn't read the collection yet. My own hair journey has been an up and down 'adventure'. Before I found my own copy of this it gave me pause from time to time to think of my own essay and what I would say. I may eventually embark on that writing venture.
I liked many and loved most (if not all) of the essays in this collection. Some may think an entire collection of essays about hair is ridiculous, but honestly hair is a unique creature all its own. How it captivates our world, how it is a banner of who we are, and how the journey is not fun, but worth finding common ground no matter our origin/background. This read made me grateful and put me at ease about my own life.
