Abstract
The nine essays that follow show the "doing" of a sexist and white supremacist culture that prescribes black self-conception, and the hard undoing of rejecting it for a truer, if still mysterious, self.History, etymology and pop culture permeate examinations of the author's fraught relationship to her hair, occupying black spaces and the bind of the "fast-tailed girl" her mother warned her about becoming.
