Description An auspicious debut examining the culture of hair from the Rona Jaffe Foundation Award-winning cartoonist Hot Comb offers a poignant glimpse into black women's lives and coming-of-age stories as seen across a crowded, ammonia-scented hair salon while ladies gossip and bond over the burn.
