Jamilla loathes doing her hair with mom because it hurts, it's a pain, and it's not like other girls' hair at her school. Mom goes on to talk about all the marvelous transformations that her hair can do, suggesting a new hairstyle for each day of the week. Each spread features a different day and Jamilla is happily engaging with her world at the museum, farmer's market, library, playground, zoo, and grandma's house. Vibrant acrylic illustrations pair with the joyous celebration of African American hair.
