Every Sunday a group of girls gather in a local salon to spend the afternoon styling their hair with Nancy. Entering the shop with tied-up hair and messy buns, Nancy teaches the fundamentals of styling hair naturally and to value each unique curl. These moving, layered lessons help link the girls to their culture while also boosting their confidence as they become teenagers.
