As the author of this story points out, "everything responds to care," whether it's a young tree, a garden, or a head of tightly curled hair. Recipes for an herbal rinse and moisturizing butter are included in the back. (Miller Library Staff)
After being teased yet again about her unruly hair, MacKenzie consults her neighbor, Miss Tillie, who compares hair care with tending her beautiful garden and teaches MacKenzie some techniques. Includes tips for shampooing, conditioning, and protecting black hair, and recipes for hair products.
