No new informationAlthough heavily promoted, Andre's book did not provide any new information on how to care for hair. What I particularly disliked was the negativity involved in his presentation of the type 4 hair type. He just added another myth to the list by saying our only two options are to either crop our hair short or relax it. I don't recommend this book.
Great book on all hair types, From a African-American.
I totallly disagree with many of the African-American reviewers. They said exactly the OPPOSITE of what the book is about. He did NOT lump blacks in one category. If you could read, you would see that he says, NO hair is black hair, NO hair is of any race. All ethnicities have all different kinds of hair. He then talked about each type of hair. And by the way, just because he is black does not mean he has to focus only on blacks. That is not the title of the book. Its title is Andre talks HAIR, NOT Andre talks black hair. I'm sorry that you didn't open your mind when your read this magnificent book. He focused on all hair types the same amount of time. So I highly recommend this book to any one interested in learning more about hair, how to get it in it's healthiest state, and to gain well rounded knowledge. And Andre, please don't let these few narrow-minded people bother you one bit!!!
Book filled with things you've probably heard before......
I read this book hoping that I would be able to benefit from some professional insight on my hair. I wasn't too happy with what I got out of this book.....a lot of his ideas stem from things we've all probably read in Essence or Ebony or Cosmopolitan or Vogue at some point in time before (Come on now....we've ALL read that we should avoid heat and chemicals....but there aren't any practical alternatives in this book). It's a good book to have if you want to know some basics, but if you're looking to find out how to solve some of the more pressing problems with your hair (breakage, how to relax and color simultaneously, styling tips), you may want to look elsewhere.
Not saying I impecuniousness the Niners to be the Def Leppard of football (I'd prefer Van Halen if we're contemporary hair metal), but the parallels are undeniable. By the way, it's 4:19 am right now, and I'm intoxicated on Johnnie Walker Black Label (official sponsor of the
