Summary: An Appreciative Sister
Review: "Why are Blak Women Loosing their Hair?" is informative, thorough, intelligent, intimate and most of all practical. Detailed instruction from credible medical professionals and hair specialists, provided me with an arsenal of information regarding my hair, it's needs and subsequent care. I especially enjoyed hearing testimonies from REAL pople in REAL hair crisis scenarios. Each testimony added sensitivity, familarity and sometimes humor to a serious and emotional subject matter. People of color are extremely diverse, and our hair--it's range in length,texture and thickness-- reflects this diversity. I appreicate Fletcher's sensitivity to our differences, and most of all his ability to synthesize and present them in a format everyone can relate to and benefit from. A final thanks to Flethcer for having the foresight to provide us with the first complete Black woman's hair-care reference book of its kind. Long overdue, much appreciated, worth the wait. A must read, Sincerely, An appreciaiative Sister.

Summary: In-depth. Indispensable. Invaluable.
Review: After reading this comprehensive "how-to" guide, it is no surprise that Barry Fletcher is lauded as a master in the Black hair care industry. Extremely informative, "Why Are Black Women Losing Their Hair?" doesn't treat our mane as a homogenized item. This book respects and addresses the "various" textures of African-American hair and caters to our specific hair care needs. No bookshelf or styling salon should be without these words of wisdom from one of the best in the business.

Summary: Hair Excitement!!!!
Review: Finally, Barry has come to the rescue of hair care again. I was totally in the dark on how to care for my hair for so long, and until recently didn't have healthy hair. Barry's book teaches, justifies, and illustrates how we are damaging our hair. With the misconceptions that we have been plagued by for so long, it definitely provides a clear understanding of why we used the methods that we used, how it was ineffective, even when it appeared to be effective, and what we can do about it now. For example, I was the "over the counter" no-lye hair relaxer system queen for years, and still know people who use them. Most of you could agree that for so long we were taught to use no-lye...WHAT A MISTAKE!!!!! Until I read Barry's book, I didn't understand how a no-lye relaxer could actually be more damaging to the hair than one containing lye, I definitely understand now. I appreciate Barry's thoroughness in the support that he used when writing this book, he is supported with the opinions, and expert knowledge of other hair care professionals, and physicians. Without giving away the content of this book, I will definitely agree that it answers questions that we are sometimes afraid or embarrassed to ask our stylist; it provides information on all hair types,how our health & diet affect our hair, scalp disease ( and the options we have for remedy), at-home hair care methods & suggestive products to use, etc. I give great thanks for now having a guide to help me understand how I damaged my hair and what I need to do to maintain its healthy state. It's great to have someone to ask what can we do with our hair, it's even better to have it illustrated, and show proof positive. It's a great reference. Barry shows us, and educates us on how and why we should be exicited about our hair, regardless of it's type. It's a must have in the year of our health conscious, importance of appearance, and the overall exitement and energy that we display as African American women! Ladies Order Now!!!

Summary: EXCELLENT!!
Review: First of all, there are a few books that are written about hair. Then there are even fewer books written for specific types of hair. I was impressed that Mr. Fletcher wrote this book. I was enthralled when Fletcher stated that we not only loose our hair through poor hair care maintenance, but also through stress and bad nutrition. The book was well written and informative. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Mr. Fletcher's knowledge of hair care. Through his years of hands on experience, I can honestly trust his advice. He knows his stuff. This book proves that Barry knows a lot about having healthy hair.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: For this book to cost so much, I would have thought it would be more useful. The book had alot of fluff and fillers, but not enough substantial information on how to inprove the condition of breaking hair. I read Shamboosie's beautiful black hair. I would recommend that instead, it costs way less, plus it offers great suggestions on what to do and what products to use to improve breaking hair.

Summary: A white woman likes this book
Review: Hey, you don't have to be black to lose your hair! I found the information in this book valuable to be educated on hair in general. I work with the beauty industry with my multicultural shears business (Bonika Shears ... www.bonika.com)and found this inforamtion helpful to me. I recommended it at the class we taught at the International Beauty Show in Long Beach California and was thrilled to get a copy of the book there. Unfortuantely I've found it was cheaper on Amazon ... wish I'd bought it here ... oh well, I wouldn't have got an autograph! Thanks Barry!
