In recent years, more books have been written about hair, specifically the hair texture and hair braiding designs connected with Black hair.  I Love My Hair! by Natasha Anastasia Tarpley is one of my favorites to share.  I share and read these stories with students of many cultures so that they can have a better understanding of why they see people where their hair in these ways (many of which are examples of African fractals), so students can understand more about the historical and cultural significance of braided hair, to grow and gain an appreciation for these hair designs, and now I can add to encourage an investigation of mathematical elements that are often seen in the patterns, braids, and designs that that are a part of these ways of styling hair.
