FOUND! The Lost Owners Manual for Growing African Hair

I tried to explain to a white associate of mine the difficulties we black women experience with our hair. It took me no less than an hour to explain just the difficulties we endure trying to get our hair to conform and grow. I was not discussing solutions with him; I just wanted him to grasp the basics. The information appeared to slip into his incomprehensible, non-issue data bank. He walked away dazed and still could not understand black hair concepts.


Enough about getting others to understand. It won't happen. Let us not forget what is never far from our thoughts: a search for THE product that will grow our hair! If you cannot relate to the life I have just described, you are in the wrong place.

Whether your hair is relaxed or natural, the information is the same. You won't be asked to remove your relaxer. It is my fault, but most people think this book is for relaxed hair, and I apologize for that. It's just that women with relaxers perpetrate the worst hair decisions and blame it on the chemicals. Aside from telling you to read and follow the directions on the relaxer container, everything else I insist you follow is for any and all hair.

Black Women Rejoice is finally the answer to the question "How do you grow a black woman's hair?" It's the owner's manual they forgot to issue when you started doing your own hair. It is a manual for black people only. If you want to call this manual a product, then it's the last product you will need to grow healthy hair.

I went on a photo field trip the other day to my favorite beauty-supply store and found something very disturbing; shocking would be more like it, so heinous that I had to contact a lawyer to find out how to protect myself before I revealed this updated manual to you. Well, imagine my surprise when I was photographing the ingredients section of our favorite hair products, ninety percent of which started out with petroleum or mineral oil! How could this be? Am I to understand that just because it is sitting on the shelf in a black beauty-supply store (I hate using the race card) that somehow it's OK to remake the product using the cheapest ingredients, and then sell to my sisters for the same price everyone else pays for the quality version? They might as well send me a thank-you letter for telling black women about their product. I am steering women away from scamming, profit-grabbing products. Read more to find many such discoveries.

ca. 530 B.C. Archaic
-The use of relief or painted slabs as grave markers was not peculiar to Archaic and Classical Greece, but their manner of decoration was novel. Comparable objects are not found in the East or in Egypt, but the practice was an ancient one in Greece- see the grave stele from the Grave Circles at Mycenae. Most surviving grave stele come from Athens, and it seems likely that kouroi served as grave monuments before such figure-decorated stele appeared. Originally these tall, rectangular stele were topped by cavetto capitals, which were derived from Egyptian architecture. Above 550 BC, this is replaced by a double volute scroll, which can be seen on this grave monument. On top of these capitals often sat the statue of a sphinx, which served as a guardian of the dead in the Greek world. The most common motif on these grave stele is the depiction of a standing nude youth- a kouros- who may be holding attributes such as weapons or athletic equipment. Many of the surviving Archaic grave stele (including this piece) were preserved by the fact that they were used as building material in the Themistoclean wall that was hurriedly thrown up after the departure of the Persians in 480 BC from Athens. Since the cemeteries were on the exterior of the city walls, the grave monuments (most of which were probably desecrated by the Persians) made for easily accessible building material. -Ca. 530 BC-Inscribed on the base: To dear Me..., on his death, his father with his dear mother set [me] up as a monument.-13 feet high-This grave monument is the most complete example of its type to have survived from the Archaic period-Youth and little girl shown together in relief. The young girl, not mentioned in the inscription, is probably his little sister. Perhaps they died at the same time- disease? -Suspended from the youth's wrist is an aryballos, which characterizes him as an athlete- it would have carried the oil used as a cleanser after exercise. In his left hand he holds a pomegranate, a symbol of both fecundity and death, perhaps indicating that he reached puberty before his decease. The girl holds a flower. -This is an exceptionally lavish monument that must have been built by one of the wealthiest families in Athens. Some scholars want to read the name in the inscription as that of Megakles, a name associated with the powerful clan of the Alkmeonidai, who opposed the tyrant Peisistratos. The tombs of the aristocratic families were sometimes desecrated and destroyed as a result of that conflict and this stele may well have been among those pillaged. -Note the more naturalistic rendering of the youth's musculature and ear as well as the shorter hairstyle with chin-length curly locks held back in place by a hair fillet. However, some very Archaic elements remain- the patterning of the hair, the archaic smile, the rendering of the almond shaped eyes, etc.

-In a rocky mountainous landscape scattered with clusters of crocus plants, two female figures dressed in Minoan-style costumes and jewelry collect saffron stamens, which on the opposite wall are offered to an enthroned goddess, believed to the the Great Mother Goddess, who is perhaps unseen by her mortal devotees, yet very present to receive the fruit of their labors. -Figure on left shown en face, her head turned towards her companion on whom she gazes with rather serious air. Rich black hair held by blue band on her forehead. Hair is short and curly, excepting two long ringlets down her back and a smaller forelock. Picks flowers with fingertips of right hand and holds basket in her left hand. Bodice is open at the front, but cannot be seen from the angle she is painted. -Second figure is much younger in appearance. Her head is almost completely shorn. Shown in profile, she also tries to pick crocus blossoms with her two hands while gazing at her companion opposite her with a lively and impatient expression, as if anxious for reassurance that she is performing the task correctly. -Note the details of the women's finery, especially their garments, which they themselves would have made. These are garments that are meant to catch the eye with their embroidery and detail- the artist's depiction of this finery is a recognition of feminine industry and creativity. -Gathering saffron from the crocus flowers has become a major event- partly executed in the realm of reality and partially that of fantasy. -This fresco is found on a building in the trading outpost at Akrotiri on Thera in a building called Xeste 3, which a was large edifice, the western half of which was at least three storeys high. It seems to have been a building in which public and ritual activity took place. -An interesting side note- saffron and women have interesting interconnections. Saffron was used in antiquity to treat menstrual conditoins and its golden yellow color is linked to rituals to prepare young girls for adulthood and for celebrating their wedding day when they reached puberty. -These figures are rendered with a freedom of movement and a variety of hairstyle, raiment and jewelry which bespeak of an artist of statue here at work.
