My Thoughts

Hairstyles over the years have created people's awareness of others and first impressions. What I loved going through this, was the variety and pandemic drawings of cultural hair. I enjoyed the separation of hairstyles and how you had the chance to color AND be cultured. The drawings of women in the coloring book were so beautiful, that I feel I would color it wrong, or mess up. It's going to be my task to color objectively. There was also lots of cool typography promoting obviously the whole idea of this book, LOVE YOUR HAIR.

Below, will be more previews of inside I Love My Hair. I absolutely enjoyed the hairstyles of women because what I've been learning in my history classes, women go through so much that I can't believe we've put up with our type of treatment this long.

But hair is beautiful and coloring is fun, what more can you ask for? Andrea Pippins drew all the artwork in her coloring book full of stylish and empowering illustrations. This coloring book is great for all ages and I encourage everyone to seek it out! Have a good one!
