U.K.-based photographer Emily Stein developed a photo series titled "Hairdo," which features photos of black children from London in playful poses with their beautiful bantu knots, twists, and zig-zag tapered fades. In each image, the child's picture shines with his or her own charismatic expression and unique hairstyle.

"Stein allowed the kids to choose their own poses, so their images would truly represent their individual identities."

This little cutie is going in my library to save for a "rainy day." Her inner joy and playfulness is truly infectious:

Thanks for the OP, sheshe. You are a joy, too!!

You're right.

Though some of doos make my scalp tingle. Not too tight! You can
hurt your follicles that way.
I learned the hard way (luckily not permanently) with some "too-tight"
hair styling one summer.
