About this listen
The Good Hair Day Contract starts in the bathroom mirror and follows the invisible negotiations that begin every time we ask, “Do I look acceptable enough to be seen?” Blending cultural critique with intimate reflection, the book uncovers the unspoken deal many of us absorb: on “good hair days” we are allowed confidence, desirability, and professionalism; on “bad” ones, we owe the world apology or extra effort. From family comments to workplace bias, from salons as sanctuaries to social media perfection, it shows how hair becomes a site where race, gender, age, class, and identity quietly collide.
Rather than telling listeners to stop caring how they look, The Good Hair Day Contract offers a gentler renegotiation. It explores how to enjoy style and transformation without letting them dictate your worth, how to recognize when “self-care” has slipped into self-policing, and how to expand the definition of a good hair day to include mornings when your only act of courage is showing up as you are. It’s a book for anyone who has stayed home because of their reflection—and is ready to start writing their own terms.
