what a waste.....

I was so disappointed when I got this book. The people who do these books always seem to have a head full of hair when they start. I never see anyone with not-so-thick hair or less than shoulder length hair. Her product regimen was outrageous. Her copying and pasting from week-to-week had to be most ingenuous of all, along with pushing her own hair care products. In all her pictures she looked "greasy", which is not a look or feel I like. She had not even used Aphogee protein products, which ANYONE who is into hair, knows is probably one of the BEST protein products on the market, especially considering the price. I just expected a little bit more. On her picture in the 1990s, it was obvious she always had a full head of hair, not like a lot of black women out here. Can someone show me how to maintain my relaxed hair, where it will have body and look healthy, and if I did choose to relax at home, the best way to do it. We know it is a cardinal sin, but obviously people do it or there would not be so many products on the shelves and the costs to go a hairdresser is so prohibitive. I say do not buy this book, there is hardly anything said you probably don't already know.

You must be kidding me!

Just looking at the picture on the front cover of this book...I know this is NOT the book for me. I know they say you should never judge a book by its cover, but in this case -- I think I'm justified. A book that tells black women how to have healthy hair and then proceeds to expound primarily on the maintenance of relaxed (fire-creamed) hair is schizophrenic at best. Healthy hair begins with learning to care for, nurture, and style the hair that grows from your own scalp. Diet, exercise, water, and a healthy dose of self-love are the start of healthy hair. For those who are interested in learning to take care of their hair sans relaxers, I recommend that you save your money and head over to [...].

P.S. If you are one of the millions of black women that have relaxed hair, I'm not judging you. Perhaps this book is exactly what you need. But it your goal is beautiful and healthy hair -- which is not the same as artificially straightened hair -- then I simply suggest you look elsewhere.
