Our Curlfriend is back, and this time she’s ready for something extra special!
In this joyful follow-up to Wash Day, readers take a trip to the beauty supply store, where endless styles and accessories spark the imagination. From braids and twists to cornrows and beads, Braid Day introduces a range of textured hairstyles that help children express themselves and celebrate all their hair can do.
Whether you’re preparing for a salon visit or looking for new styles to try at home, this book supports kids and caretakers in learning, choosing, and loving their next look—together.
A perfect tool for broadening style horizons, encouraging autonomy, and making hair styling a fun, collaborative adventure.
What readers say
What a beautifully made book with a wealth of visual details, tips and well done illustrations. In a world that often doesn’t understand the needs of black hair and how to care for it, this book teaches children what it means. Also black hair care is just as important to know to non-black parents. Its a story made with intention and I really encourage you to purchase this book.
