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.

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!

A lot to take in at once

Good book... Too much information for one book. Would have liked for it to be broken down into separate books.

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.
