review 1: I really liked this book. It's extremely informative. I've learned a lot. I'm transitioning from relaxed to natural so it was perfect to me. It like my go to bible for my hair lol. I will say the only bad thing about it was I bought the Kindle format for my Kindle PaperWhite. It was super hard reading the diagrams and understanding. The book is pretty pricey itself also, but I'm sure it would be worth the money.
review 2: Wow, if you wanted to move beyond homespun wisdom to actual scientific knowledge about black hair, this is the book for you. Finally, an explanation for why my hair would behave (or not behave) in certain ways. There were times when I cringed because I was guilty of doing x, y, or z to my own tresses. I liked the product list of "safe" brands ... morefor your hair(the list was long enough that it didn't seem like she was getting kickbacks for product placements). I thought her inclusion of interviews was kind of hilarious though, seeing how most of the women managed to completely ignore the book's guidelines. "So tell me, how do you get great hair?""Well, to be honest, I never moisturize."I'm not sure what purpose these interviews served, but it was good for a laugh.I thought Davis-Sivasothy did a really nice job of advocating *healthy* hair, no matter whether it's natural, relaxed, in braids, etc. It's easy to fall into headfirst into the "hair wars," and she adroitly avoids doing so.I think "transitioning" hair should've been given more coverage, but overall it was a very good read. I will be taking care of my hair differently after reading this! less
