aug 10, 2003 - Cutting it Off

Description:

ifemelu's hair began to fall out because of the relaxer and Wambui told her to go natural, "Relaxing your hair is like being in prison. You're caged in. Your hair rules you" (pg 208)
So Wambui helps her cut her hair but she becomes embarrassed of the short length and does not want to leave the house
