The author explored some really poignant points about using hair as a form of protest, expression, and a rallying point for community. She began by explaining how immigrants often work their body hair to be more "palatable" to Western society. Throughout, she related hair to different emotions and concepts [anger, conformity, etc.].

The blonde/conformity chapter dealt more with the broader concept of conforming to Eurocentric hair ideals, not how blondness = conformity. The last chapter, wigs/play, argued that costumes allow people to understand themselves better, but this discussion related more to freedom of expression than hair, specifically. I think this book could've benefitted from a more focused lens, or at least stronger connections between concepts.
