Book Synopsis
A visual celebration of natural Black hair that highlights the powerful connection between mothers and their children during their wash day rituals.

The significance of wash day goes far beyond hair care—it’s an opportunity for Black women to pour love into their curly, coily locks and, when they have children, pass on this sacred ritual to the next generation.
