Summary

Illustration shows a series of eight vignettes with an African American woman sitting on a chair, reading a hair-raising "ghost story"; as she gets deeper into the story she becomes frightened and her hair begins to stand up straight. By vignette 6 she sees in a mirror that her once kinky hair is now straight, delighted, she puts it up in a new hairdo.
