Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can empathize with the author, Ms. Collison, I too have been searching for the hairstyle book and the magazine that will lay it out for me. For more than 7 years, and four bi-racial children later (two boys and two girls), I had yet to find such a book. This book is truly the start of something good. It goes into detail, but not too much detail, how to care for a variety of hair textures "from bone straight to wavy, to tightly coiled and everything in between" (pg. 13). It covers parting to combing to cornrows, twists and braiding. It also covers some basic style for boys. I loved her personal stories, her own and contributors as well. I also appreciate how we are reminded to tell our daughters that they are beautiful and smart as we spend time together combing and styling their hair. As a librarian, I will be praising this book to all who walk through our doors and I look forward to the sequel. Way to go!

I checked this book at the library and was so glad I didn't buy it. It had some really cute hairstyles but all the hair styles featured children with way past shoulder length hair. All the tips she gave were basic and stuff I already knew. She completely skipped toddlers. She had a small section on how to take care of babies hair and then jumped to pictures of older children with relaxed long hair. She had a small section for locked hair no section on nature hair and an area on how to relax your childs hair if her hair too nappy to comb. My daugher is only three. I was looking for tips to keep her hair healthy and to help it grow. She had one picture of a little girl with short braided hair and everyone else with hair down their back which is something most toddlers have yet.

I have been looking for a book like this for two years! I am the mother of a two year old adopted African-American daughter. One of my major concerns has been her hair. This book was awesome!!! It gives advice for birth on up. The pictures were great and the directions are easy to follow. I have had experience with braiding but this shows someone who hasn't, exactly what to do. It also gives advice on washing, combing and just about everything in between. I'm so glad someone finally wrote the book I have been waiting for!
