Hair Hassles focuses on the process and the pains for a young girl getting her hair done every day. The process of creating the book took me back to when I was growing up and getting ready for school with my parents and how much of a hassle curly hair is as a young girl. The text throughout the book is curated from phrases and statements said to me as a young girl from important figures in my life. These figures are represented by the mother in the book. Moving through the accordion-style book, an implied timeline occurs and depicts the different standards of getting ready as a young boy and a young girl.
