Summary: Ms. Gray Should Re-title The Book Perhaps
Review: Having been natural for over four years, I didn't find too much of the information helpful. However, I used to relax my hair and it seems that there are some good tips for relaxed ladies. The book should be titled one can have healthier "relaxed" hair in 6 weeks. I don't think its necessary to use so many products. Promoting hair growth is 80% how the hair is handled, i.e. clean hair and scalp, regular trims, minor manipulation while wet, little or no heat etc. and 20% product on an otherwise healthy scalp. Men have great hair growth and they don't use half the products or any of the "hair torture" we use with the blow dryers and the hot curlers. I guess I was looking for a book with more info. on the "handling" of natural hair.

Summary: I saw a difference after the very first shampoo!
Review: I could not believe my eyes. Carolyn Gray did some excellent research to write this book. However, I think she recommends way
too many products to purchase. I am not really stressing about the lenghth of my hair. I just want my shoulder length hair to look healthy. Now it does. I bought a couple of the products that she recommended. They worked wonders on my hair. I get so many compliments on my hair daily. It looks healthier than it ever has, my hair has never had so much body and shine! To top it off I didn't spend one second in a beauty shop! I work out daily and she has taught me how to keep my hair looking great even through my sweaty workouts. I don't feel pressured to wear braids and hair extensions. I would recommend this book for all African American ladies who want healthy hair. This book is soo easy to read. It's really a manual. So I took it with me to the beauty supply store. Definatley, a keeper.

Summary: Great for the Relaxed Hair Person....
Review: I found this book extemely easy to follow and full of what turns out, in retrospect, to be common sense. It's always easy to say "I knew that" when someone else has taken the time to organize and present the material for you. However unfair that's what you start thinking as you go through the book. Yes, I have been told a million times that heat is not good for your hair. The author stresses this as well but does give some great alternatives to applying heat and still looking presentable. Unfortunately if you are on the go/busy a lot this book will be hard for you to do although with some thought you can manage to get by on some of the steps. While the author does go through some pains to mention specific products (something woefully lacking in most hair care books) you can tell it is somewhat dated. Unfortunately the book was written 2 years ago and a lot of new products are out there. So take the time to read what the author is saying a particular product will do for you and look for your own brand that achieves the same results. There is an excellent index in the back of the book of all the recommended products.The only major drawback to this book has to do with those of us with NATURAL/CHEMICAL FREE HAIR. While she does make reference to natural hair care in particular sections this book is basically for the black woman with chemically treated hair. All too often she forgets about the differences and the fact that you just can't use the same technique on relaxed and natural hair.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: I just finished week 2 and I am extremely impressed by the restored health of my hair so soon. Along with easy to follow step-by-step instructions, the overall information was invaluable as well as a blessing. I never knew how bad my stylist and I was damaging my hair until I started your 6-week regimen. I thought my very thick, shoulder length hair was just shedding naturally, now I see and know the difference between breakage and shedding. Who knew I could actually have free flowing shiny manageable hair without blow-drying and hot curling each week. I was skeptical with the long list of products, but looking at it as an investment with long-term benefits, I found that your product recommendations and the Caruso rollers are genius! Thanks Ms. Gray for all the hard work and effort you endured to share this wonderful knowledge with the rest of us. I look forward to seeing continued fantastic results. I will tell everyone I can about your book and show them the difference!

Summary: This had to be said...
Review: I purchased this book a few weeks before I had surgery. I had surgery just at the time I needed a touch-up. When I need a touch-up, there is no avoiding it. However, at the time, it was impossible to see a hair dresser. The day before surgery, my hair was braided. I was not able to get a touch-up for another five weeks. When I was finally able to visit my hair salon, I was prepared for the worst. The only complaint my stylist had for me was that I needed " a little trim at the ends". NO BREAKAGE! and it was "in good condition". Even on the best of occasions I never heard him say that. He has since been continually impressed. It took almost 10 years for me to hear him say that.
I have recommended this book to a few people including my sister who has the same type of hair (coarse, very dry, etc). Her stylist has also stated that her hair is good condition. I purchased this book almost a year ago and feel this is the best investment I've made. Take if from someone who used to spend thousands (yes, thousands) of dollars for her hair each year.

Summary: This book is great!!!
Review: I was sceptical at first when I saw the long list of products to buy. After the fist week, I saw a major difference in my hair. Its still breaking a little, but that's understandable for how bad a state my hair was in. I am glad she wrote a book like this. I was beginning to think I would have to walk around bald the rest of my life. I cut off some of the damaged hair and at work today people actually complemented me on how much better my hair looks.

Summary: Finally! A System that REALLY works!!!!!!!
Review: The book is like what your mother told you when you were young. But you finally figure it out when you get older. I already knew some of the information through some of my own research; I just needed to hear (read) it again. The book is very informative with good styling tips, good recomendations for products and handling care. She writes the book as if she is talking directly to you. A little redundant and not enough high quality photos, but overall a very good book. If you don't have all the products she recommends, you may think you are paying a small fortune, but the same amount is probaly spent at our stylists within a months time anyway if not more, besides, what is our hair worth? I recommend this book to anyone, who just wants to have more versatility with their "relaxed" hair without being chained to a blow drier and other heating appliances.

Summary: An Excellent Guid to Grow Afro-Textured Hair
Review: This book is great! I like the fact that Mrs. Gray actually lists products that she has used as oppose to professional hairstylists who push their own products through their hair guides. I also like the way Ms. Gray takes into account people who are ill (ex. diabetes) in terms of purchasing heat appliances and following the directions. Bravo Mrs. Gray!!
