Cheryl Talley Moss used her hair clients as models in this book because she wanted to keep this book real. This book teaches you how to select a hairstylist,and answers the most frequently asked question concerning Black hair. Most women walk out of their hair salon looking good and feeling great. But when they get home, they don't know what to do to maintain their "do." This book gives you step by step instruction on how to develop your personal home maintanence guide. -- From the Publisher

5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY GOOD BOOK, April 11, 2000

By 

Deanna Hall (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Healthy Hair Care Tips For Today's Black Woman (Paperback)

This book is easy to understand and is simply written. My relaxed hair was hard and brittle before I read this book. I purchased the book about three months ago and I can honestly say that my hair is the healthiest it has ever been. I am receiving compliments daily. Thank you Cheryl Moss for showing me the light. I was abusing my hair daily by using hot curling irons and styling sprits. I must admit that my girlfriend didn't like this book because she said that the book did not give enough information about natural hair care. My friend wears dreadlocks and doesn't think that this book is for any one that wears braids or dreads. I have to agree that this book doesn't give a lot of information on natural hair but I didn't buy this book for that reason. Several of my friends also read this book. The only person that said something negative was my friend that is big on natural hair. Let's face the fact: The majority of Black women wear a relaxer and do not consider themselves to be "sell outs". I personally don't feel that the way I wear my hair makes me more or less Black. So, I feel that if you are wearing a relaxer, this book is certainly the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Reader From Houston, April 9, 2000

By 

Clarrisa Montgomery (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Healthy Hair Care Tips For Today's Black Woman (Paperback)

I read this book in a few hours. It taught me that I was doing a lot of things wrong to my hair. I now understand why my hair is shedding. Thank you Mrs. Moss for telling me the key ingredient you should look for in hair products. I get the feeling Mrs. Moss really cares about her profession and is sincerely trying to make a difference. She give her mailing address in the back of the book and suggests that you write to her if you have any additional questions about Black hair care after reading the book. I say to the sister that was trying to hate on Mrs. Moss, that you did not read this book because you would know that the person you thought was Mrs. Moss is actually her daughter. She tells you that in the book. I can not find fault in her for using her daughter as the main model. She is a very pretty girl after all. And she does give step by step instructions on how you can achieve various styles such as the wrap. But, I didn't buy this book to learn how to do hairstyles. I could have bought a hair magazine to learn how to get a hairstyle. I bought this book to get some insight about Black hair and to learn some of tips that the author recommends I try to have healthier relaxed hair. If you want to learn how to have healthy relaxed hair, I recommend that you buy this book because it showed me how to make my hair healthier. I have been following the tips for two weeks and I can see a definite improvement.

5.0 out of 5 stars RECOVERING PONY TAIL ADDICT, December 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Healthy Hair Care Tips For Today's Black Woman (Paperback)

I AM A RECOVERING PONT TAIL WEARING ADDICT. Before reading this informative book I would wear my hair in a ponytail every day. Mrs. Moss has taught me how to have bouncy, free-flowing hairstyles all of the time. Thank you sharing this information with the world. I am going to purchase several copies for my friends for Christmas presents.
