This book was fairly well-written, I found it readable and didn't find any glaring errors. That said, I found next to nothing on these subjects:

- Natural or organic hair care products
- Styling your own hair
- Braiding
- Updos
- Long hair: care, concerns, special needs or special warnings
- Identifying quality implements and caring for implements
- Uses of hair accessories you may not be familiar with (eg rats, hair sticks, etc.)

There was a lot of very basic and general information on many subjects including hair loss, alopecia, etc., and it is a good general sourcebook. However if you are looking for in-depth, or even just detailed, treatments of your areas of interest, look elsewhere. I returned this book after reading it through very gently.

I agree with the other reviewer, way too basic for me. May be good for the average person who knows little about hair. I thought most of the information was common knowledge, and there were even a few things in there that were just wrong. They mention over and over again that you have to wash your hair every day, which is completely the wrong thing to do for many people. I got this as an addition to a series of more hair books, brushing up on my hair knowledge after 7 years of doing hair professionally, and I learned nothing from this book. I found myself skipping through it, it was boring to me.
