Why?
I’m Nina, a Wig, Hair and Makeup Artist with over 20 years in the industry. For most of that time I’ve relied on the same hair history books we all reach for — and while they’re a valuable starting point, they tell an incomplete story. Mostly Eurocentric in focus, limited in scope, and fixed in time. The richness of African, Asian, and global majority hair histories has always deserved the same space on the shelf — and the same depth of research. Strands of History is my answer to that. One place, properly sourced, that finally reflects the full picture.
