Summary: pamela's books are the best out there on hair care
Comment: the only thing that i did not like about this book was the poor quality of the photographs. that is okay...i guess that kept the price of this book down. my mom use to wash my hair every weekend and oil my scalp with sulphur 8 OR bergamot. do you remember that? she did not let me get an relaxer until i was 15. I did not like it and let it grow out immediately and went back to pressing my hair until i turned 23. my cousins used relaxers in elementary school, way back in the early 70's when the choice of relaxers was probably 1 or 2 brands and the relaxers then were ultra harsh. they grew up with short, damaged hair that refused to grow past 3 inches and i did not. the worst thing that i did was overpress mine as a teen. i think pamela is going back to the days when our mom's use to gently comb our hair and oil our scalp while we sat between their legs. now...i go easy on the relaxers and the braids...i have been wearing a fake ponytail for 10 years or two braids squaw style and i wash my hair with creme of nature shampoo...i use a light oil
like ultra sheen, no heat and a regular alternative relaxer. brush hair with a soft brush. for color washout rinses only or i will use a light color hair piece...the results? MY HAir is down my back...let the fake hair take the abuse...want light colors? use extensions...that is what they are for to enhance and protect your fragile hair...the book is great...it does mention the light use of relaxers...relaxers are fine...moderation is the key...

Summary: Very informative and easy to read.
Comment: I enjoyed reading this book. I learned a lot about how to care for my hair and my daughter's hair. I was surprised to learn that many of the things that I was doing to our hair was unhealthy for our hair and prevented hair growth. After reading this book, I immediately threw out the shampoos that were wrong for our hair, stopped by a beauty supply store and purchased the right kinds of shampoos, contioners, and moisturizers.
The only reason I did not give this book five stars is because I believe that there was too much emphasis on braids. Braids aren't the only style of choice for wearers of natural hair. I would liked to have seen more photos of women wearing their natural hair NOT in braids.

Summary: This book shows lovely variations of hairstyles.
Comment: I was very impressed with the variety of hairstyles shown. The comments by the authors concerning black hair where very uplifting and expressed the beauty of black hair that has been overlooked and ignored in our society. I did think that the book could hav included more instruction as to how to create these lovely works of art, but all in all I found the book inspiring.
