This book was an enjoyable and quick read. It follows four women navigating issues such as mental health, romantic relationships, and troubling family dynamics while they do their own or another person’s hair. I really enjoyed how hair is interwoven through the storyline highlighting its importance in the community. Having a story follow Black women as they care for their hair was very beautiful. That was part of what drew me into picking this book up. 

 

I did wish that we got more information about each women’s struggles after being introduced to them their respective narratives. Some characters are struggling a lot, but we don’t really see anything regarding how they are doing or how their friends are reflecting on the issue. 

 

I loved the artwork and the character design of this graphic novel. The friendship between the women is highlighted very well, and we see them empower and stand up for one another. Though some issues were handled better than others, I did enjoy this graphic novel.
