Book Reviews of Why Are Black Women Losing Their Hair?
Book Review: Hair Excitement!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally, Barry has come to the rescue of hair care again. I was totally in the dark on how to care for my hair for so long, and until recently didn't have healthy hair. Barry's book teaches, justifies, and illustrates how we are damaging our hair. With the misconceptions that we have been plagued by for so long, it definitely provides a clear understanding of why we used the methods that we used, how it was ineffective, even when it appeared to be effective, and what we can do about it now. For example, I was the "over the counter" no-lye hair relaxer system queen for years, and still know people who use them. Most of you could agree that for so long we were taught to use no-lye...WHAT A MISTAKE!!!!! Until I read Barry's book, I didn't understand how a no-lye relaxer could actually be more damaging to the hair than one containing lye, I definitely understand now. I appreciate Barry's thoroughness in the support that he used when writing this book, he is supported with the opinions, and expert knowledge of other hair care professionals, and physicians. Without giving away the content of this book, I will definitely agree that it answers questions that we are sometimes afraid or embarrassed to ask our stylist; it provides information on all hair types,how our health & diet affect our hair, scalp disease ( and the options we have for remedy), at-home hair care methods & suggestive products to use, etc. I give great thanks for now having a guide to help me understand how I damaged my hair and what I need to do to maintain its healthy state. It's great to have someone to ask what can we do with our hair, it's even better to have it illustrated, and show proof positive. It's a great reference. Barry shows us, and educates us on how and why we should be exicited about our hair, regardless of it's type. It's a must have in the year of our health conscious, importance of appearance, and the overall exitement and energy that we display as African American women! Ladies Order Now!!!
