Seeking out poetry and literature articles on the Internet. Attributing this service to the spirit of a great African American writer 
Photographer David Yellen (Time, Life and People) and writer Johanna Lenander (I.D., Surface and The New York Times' T) explore the jaw-dropping outrageousness and artistic coiffures from African-American hair trade shows in a new book called Hair Wars.
The arresting images in this slick photo book, which is sure to brighten any coffee table, highlight extravagant, fantasy hairdos from professional hairstylists who participate in "hair entertainment" shows around the country. Armed with limitless imagination, these stylists work with loads of human-hair pieces, pounds of glitter and lots of colorful makeup, and they incorporate unusual props (everything from fishbowls to barbecue grills and Bibles) into those hair-raising styles.
Just wait, we're betting a reality show will get cooked up about these over-the- top competitions.
