Useless,
I wanted a book that would show in detail how to do different styles. This book only contained a brief description on braids and cornrows. I also did not like the author recommending straighteners for kinky hair. I wanted a book on how to work with my daughter’s natural hair, not on how to change it.

n/a,
I was extremely dissatisfied with this book – it gave very few helpful ideas on how to care for “kinky” hair. It also called the very fine baby hair angel hair, as if hair that is not fine and soft is something other than that. I expected to have helpful ideas on how to keep my daughter’s natural (thick and not straight) hair healthy and style it beautifully. In fact, I only learned how to chemically treat and straighten her hair. The only style recommened for thick and coarse hair were braids….as well, the book was not very comprehensive. I do not recommend this book.

PLEASE DON`T BUY THIS BOOK….,
If you love your natural hair as well as your children’s, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! If there was a zero star, that’s what this book would get. I bought it via German Amazon, so there was no review for me to read…I wish I knew that the book recommends nonsense like “if used properly, relaxers can be gentle and safe and will work magic. Try to wait until your daughter is at least 10 before you take this step”…
The nerve of this writer to write that..To recommend a chemical on a poor child’s hair because to quote her ” if…the hair is too unruly and wild”…What kind of message is she sending to our children? That it’s okay to fry their hair with a chemical? Kinky/curly/wavy hair doesn’t need to be fixed…The writer’s shackles were showing…No matter what she says about the safety of relaxers, texturizers, etc…They will never be safe. The hair may look healthy, but it is not and will never be safe. The only people in the whole world who torture their children like this are Black people…(!) DO NOT buy this book..Look around Amazon and you’ll find much better books that encourage you to work with the natural texture of your child’s than to destroy it with chemicals. If you truly care for your child’s mental/physical well being, and accept her and her God -given hair, DO NOT buy this book.
