Description: This 3-part zine orbits around the topic of hair. The first component discusses the power structures embedded in hairstyle and body image, especially in women of color, and how social policing urges one to conform to the dominant style. Second, the Asian-American author includes a timeline of her hairstyles and her experiences that involve her hair. The last piece is a story of a woman coloring her grey hair as she recalls memories and attempts to cope with the loss of her dying husband.
Notes: Cover title.
