Book excerpt: When Stacy was nine-years-old, her mom convinced her to cut her long, wavy brown hair because she was tired of fixing Stacy's hair. Her mom didn't teach Stacy how to fix it herself. Throughout her life, Stacy had to learn and navigate the pitfalls of how to take care of her wavy hair, and eventually gave up when it became too much to handle. Then one day Stacy wanted to restore her long, wavy brown hair to it's glory and learned how to take care and love her wavy hair. In the process, Stacy learned to find herself and what makes her happy. She also found the confidence to stand up for herself and what she believes in. Stacy hopes many wavy and curly kiddos are able to do the same for themselves that she wasn't able to do as a kid.
