Great detailed hair care book

I loved listening to this book. It goes into great detail about how our hair grows, to the proper products to use when and are categorized. I'm planning to get a hard copy for myself and as gifts for my friends.

A wonderful read (listen) & a wealth of knowledge. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the book, which was incredibly educational, wonderfully narrated and even entertaining. My 'story' was certainly told in this book; however, I am left even the more enthused and encouraged to forge ahead on my 'black hair journey'. I would highly and gladly recommend this to any and all of my sisters of color.

Thank you for your labor of love and selflessness Audrey Davis-Sivasothy!

The narrator was soft spoken. Very informative.

I think the book gave precise details as well as the origins hair structure & circumference. Also instruction on how correct problems in order to promote healthy hair. I enjoying learning how to regrow healthy strands.

SO EDUCATIONAL

I am a newly transitioning black woman, being 18 and knowing absolutely nothing about how to take care of my hair this book answered every question I could've asked extremely throughly. Between a mix of this book and some fellow YouTubers my hair is on its way to great lengths. This is definitely a holy grail in black hair care and I know why! I will forever recommend this book to others I met along my journey.
