Tanisha’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Real Good Hair: Natural Hair, Sisterlocks & Dreadlocks

The Real Good Hair: Natural Hair, Sisterlocks & Dreadlocks by Linda Williams

2 highlights

because my confidence and acceptance has allowed me to forgive anyone who thought my hair was anything else other than real good hair,

I couldn't agree more. I had to have confidence to big chop in 2012. I learned to love me and the way my hair grew out of my head without trying to conform.
