HEAD TOP through short reflections and anecdotes quickly uncovers the basics of how women can and need to experience power and self-awareness through their relationships with their hair. The author uses introspection to remind women that the hair on our HEAD TOPS can be for more than styling, and rather subversion and resistance to limiting ideas about what it means to be woman.



In the creative and colourful Jamaican tradition of manipulating language to increase impact, Afifa Aza uses the phrase HEAD TOP to emphasize the importance of our minds by starting with the "stuff" on top of our heads. If you consider a head to be a crown, and a crown to be more than a symbol of beauty then gain strength through a quick minute with HEAD TOP.
