Two months after I received a spiral perm, my thick, healthy hair began to fall out in large handfulls! I tried all of those high-priced salon products and then I bought this book. It is clearly written in an informative and lively style and I immediately went to my health food store and bought some of the herbs and essential oils recommended for my particular problem. The book has recipes for shampoos, herbal rinses and conditioners for every imaginable hair type or problem and it is SO EASY to do! I treat my hair every weekend and the difference now (2 months later)is AMAZING! I think my hair is actually better! I will have Fabulous hair from now on! This book has been a life saver!

I really loved this book. It was the most concise, easily-followed beauty book I have ever read. When I followed her advice about how to wash your hair, what products to use, etc, my hair improved SO much...it is now bouncy, shiny, and I have almost NO split ends! A must-read for those who would like to know how to take care of your hair, and how to get healthy, shiny hair. Oh yes...and she also has a hair-style guide in there.

Good book on natural hair care! I especially loved the recipes and ideas for conditioning hair oils and vinegars. Wish she would have talked about natural bar shampoos though - I love them, and nobody knows about them. It's the only way to go for all-natural hair care. But that's just an aside. :) Great recipes, and explanations of the different herbs, oils and essential oils used in all natural hair care. Very fun!

I found Mary Beth's book "Naturally Healthy Hair" to be a fabulous integration of beauty and science. I have been extremely concerned about the use of chemicals in beauty products, not only on my hair and body, but also the impact on the environment. Mary Beth gives us many holistic options for both. I found her book easy to read and integrate the concepts into my everyday life.

Great book. I have bought tons of these beauty type books and this is the first one I have read in detail. It has information in it about diet and reducing stress an overall better you book.

Janssen's book takes a holistic, ayurvedic approach to healthy hair. There are tips about discovering your different doshas, and This includes addressing dietary issues, stress-response issues, and physical fitness. The author speaks about the anatomical structure of hair, the history of hair styling and hair composition.

The author has meditations to use to reduce stress, mindful nutrition, yoga tips, etc; and recipes -- including creating your own shampoos, step by step henna applications, making ayurvedic oils, conditioners and gels.

Really wonderful book.

Naturally Healthy Hair: Herbal Treatments and Daily Care for Fabulous Hair is THE perfect book for someone looking to get off the chemical roller coaster with their hair. I haven't used "regular" shampoo in almost two years. I purchased this book to get some extra ideas of how to continue with my natural hair care and received it in spades. From honey, to eggs, to beer, to essential oils and so much more you will learn how to fix what ails your hair in a safe, holistic way without poisoning yourself in the process. Buy the book and change the whole way you relate to your hair...it will never have been so healthy or look for great!!!

I felt that this book has given me an insight into how harmful our hair products are, and how good being natural is. I managed to get a few oils the book mentioned, and it really worked for dandruff. None of the synthetic products I have bought so far have worked so well. I however find it tedious to get and make up the concoctions mentioned in the book. I wish they would give some simple recipes for people on the go like myself.

This book offers a lot of information about ancient hair styles and technical information about the construction of the hair shaft and even the chemical make-up of the hair. Which is all good information to know if you are writing a research paper for cosmotology school. But if you are just looking for simple recipies to improve the health of your hair you may want to try a differnt book.

Not the book I was hoping for- if you want to learn the "science" of hair- this is the book, however, i wanted something simple, with easy to do receipies and tips. This book goes into a lot of detail, that might be better suited for someone in beautician school......
