Lekwa Ntùtù
"Look at that hair." Now a book you can hold.
by Daisy Emenike
Lekwa Ntùtù is more than a book about hair. It is a conversation about hair, identity, culture, business, life and everything in between. Through personal stories, natural hair education and reflections on the wider world of beauty, it explores what it means to understand and care for textured hair while navigating the culture, expectations and business surrounding it. It is about learning your hair, but also learning to question what you have been told about it.
