5.0 out of 5 stars One Satisfied Customer...., June 10, 2003

By	"weemdream2" (Galveston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

As we all know, these people who write these books are'nt going to share every secret of the industry, but this book will bring you closer to those well hidden secrets. I have never bought a book that was so detailed in every aspect from hygiene, nails, hair braiding, weaving, cutting, and styling. I was very much so satisfied with the photos, illustrations, and information given in this book. Its is in fact all worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book for relaxed heads., May 14, 2002

This review is from: African-Caribbean Hairdressing: Hairdressing Training Board/Macmillan (Paperback)

I have read many hair care books and this one is the best for relaxed hair. It is a text book. It has great pictures and step by step instructions. If you want to know how to wrap, fingerwave, make a basic roll, how to apply a relaxer, color etc, this book is for you. Better than a hair care magazine that shows mostly weaved hair. I'm a natural curly girl but I don't have a problem with healthy relaxed hair.
