This book is about the history of black hair and beauty products and is a starting place for anyone who wants to learn about black history. Designed for children to capture attention and to show influential black people they can identify with.

The black hair and beauty industry is now worth billions. The revolution for black hair and beauty began at the end of the American Civil War when enslaved people were given freedom from slavery.

With these changes came business opportunities and financial success for many black women. Black people started to embrace a look which, for them, meant progression toward equality.

During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries four women created history by revolutionising the hair and beauty for black people. They started businesses that developed, manufactured, and designed hair and beauty products for black hair and black skincare.

These women built multi-million companies at a time of discrimination, segregation and racism. An engaging book for black history month and black history for children.
