Body of the article:
Of the hundreds of procedures he performed each year, the last thing a surgeon was expected to do was perform surgery on his father.
Robert M. Dorian Sr. she had lost her hair for many years, but few people knew how much it bothered her. Then, one day at a family party, elder Dorian suddenly told her son that she was considering a medical procedure.
I was amazed because my dad knew what kind of work I was doing, and he never said a word, says Dorian.
Unwittingly, Dorian was glad that her father was holding her own. My father's hair fell out, and he lost a lot of hair in the past, she said.
So Dorian decided to come up with her own story.
Because it was a week before my dad's birthday, I thought it was a good opportunity to give him a gift that he would enjoy for the rest of his life, she said. I have a plan for my father next week.
On the day of the operation, the two discussed the details of the procedure and what to expect.
I felt as if something inside me died, just as my father did when he was growing up, said Dorian. He saw how much hair he had lost over the years and how much I would be able to put it back in just one process.
The procedure required 1,571 hair transplants and took about 7 hours. After 3 weeks, there are no signs of hair loss. She should start enjoying her new-look in three to six months.
Working for my father was something special for me, Dorian said. It has been a privilege to be able to do something that will have a positive impact on his life. It is exactly the way his actions and support have shaped my life.
Ember tells her classmates about all the different hairstyles and hairstyles in her black family. Grandma's amazing Afro when she was younger is now pure gray. Her little sister has curly red hair that she will only let go of the Ember brush. The older sister and her friends have holes, braids, and an Afro, and Cora's cousin's hair is a different color every time Ember sees her. The heartwarming picture of the book depicts a two-page spread of Mom combing her older sister's hair, stroking one of Ember's puffballs, playing with a child's hair. Hair is a family affair indeed! The brightly colored pictures (perhaps watercolor) depict a variety of variations among the black characters: One of the older sister's friends appears to be naturally explicit, wearing a tie, shorts, and cornrows with two large knots; one of Ember's classmates appears to have albinism, and Ember's best friend, Leona, aspires to be a famous hairdresser (while Ember aims to become a famous doctor). Tracts featuring 13-color brown hair models are clever. Remarkably, all the haircuts in Freeman’s book are natural, which sends a good message about natural Afro hairstyles with no chemicals or direct heat.
