Summary: This book has very little valuable information
Review: After purchasing Pamela Ferrell's book Let's Talk Hair, I decided to buy this one for more styling options. I was suprised to see the horrible lack of information for hair care and hair styling. This book provides no information on a maintenance regime, the hair products section goes into great detail on all the chemicals and ingredients in products but doesn't tell how to choose products or what products on the market are good, and the styling section has little information for home styling. The author goes into great detail on hair makeup and on what actually is in hair products along with a very detail nutritional guide on all the ingredients in food. The hair styling section is basically about popular braiding styles and a few natural styles like the 'fro and the twist out 'fro, and some information on locking. Overall, don't waste your money or time on this book.

Summary: HORRIBLE
Review: I always look for books on how to take care of curly hair because, well, I have it! This book was helpful within the first three pages but went downhill from there. They're were no pictures, models or hair-y stories from the author. Overall, I just didn't like it. I thoroughly recommend "No Lye" or "Curly Girl" instead of this...just horrible!

Summary: This Book Is Really Bad!!
Review: If I could give this book a negative rating, I would! First, the title is deceiving. A more appropriate title should be "Very Basic Information About Black Hair". It gives no real useful information about hair care or recommendations on products, which is what we are all looking for. The hair chemistry chapter is very detailed (must have been the only chapter written by the author who has an MD) and should not have taken up an entire section. Chapters 3 and 4 are all about skin with no information about hair. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK!

Summary: Title Very Deceiving!
Review: The title of this book is very deceiving. It should be titled "Very Basic Information About Black Hair" since the author spends more time discussing black hair chemistry. There's no information about products or what to really look for in a product for natural black hair care. Interestingly enough, chapters 3 and 4 are all about skin care even though hair is mention in the chapter title. Also, the author's solution to hair loss is the addition of artificial hair rather than recommendations on products to use. Again, the title is very deceiving. This is NOT the book to purchase if you are looking for information on caring and working with natural black hair. It is indeed a horrible book!!
