Review: FOR ALL BLACK HAIR TYPES - This book is an excellent read and should be read by all Black women that want to start taking better care of their hair. Contrary to some of the reviews this book is NOT geared toward Permed/Relaxed hair it's geared to ALL black hair textures and it teaches ALL of us how to take care of our hair. The beginning chapters focus more on the science behind hair and goes into depth about hair cuticle & follicle and what makes up a single cuticle etc. which I found to be very interesting and I can almost guarantee that most of us have never even ventured into this area of hair in all our years of hair care. Getting to the root cause of our hair and how and why it grows the way it does etc. is important so that we can put into practice a regimen that will grow our hair not stall it. Yes, I have found some of the info doing my own research on you tube and googling but I still found the information such as ph levels, breakdown on different types of hair damage, shampoo & conditioners, sample regimens for detangling, shampooing/conditioning & styling quite helpful in tweaking my current regimen so that it is balanced. I must admit some of the info I have researched on my own has been just listening to other people and what they think or know about ingredients etc. but having read this book I now have a thorough knowledge for myself of silicones, proteins, sulfates and moisturizing ingredients that are listed on products and know which ones are good for our hair and what should be used to target certain hair issues. There is a section which has recommended products as well as sections on different styling methods both protective and unprotective for both natural and relaxed gals. I think some people are looking for a "quick" read that will just tell them what to do and what to buy for their hair. If that is what you are looking for then you need to keep looking for that book that will give you just that little bit of information. This book is about more than just giving you a quick fix, it is about teaching you to understand that to achieve healthy hair that grows begins with you and your understanding of what you need to do to make sure you are giving your hair the treatment and attention it deserves. Only then will you truly be able to grow healthy long hair. Another book that I have been reading along side this one is "If you love it it will grow" and I find this book to be similar to the SOBH book but it's an "easier to digest" book that simplifies the scientific terms etc. that SOBH refers to. So if SOBH is to "scientific" for you than I suggest getting "If you love it.." as it's easier to understand and employs the same hair care information and methods.
Review: Love it! I think my journey searching for black hair care info is over. Absolutely a keeper! - Since I was a little girl, I always wanted full, long, thick, silky, shiny, and even straight hair. Since I was 10, I started to be obsessed with black hair care and hair. I researched for the past 10 years on how to grow and take care of black hair. I used gimmicky super growth hair products such as "Doo Gro". It didn't cause a miracle growth for my hair. Every time I searched and collected hair care advices from Sophisticate's Black Hair Styles and Care Guide magazine, various sources from the internet, and I was sub scripted to various "hair care" enthusiasts/gurus on YouTube. Since I bought this book, I de subscripted from over 60 "hair care" enthusiasts/gurus on YouTube. Less few months ago, I bought the Ultra Black Hair Growth 2 2000 edition by Cathy Howse. I like her book, but it wasn't technical enough for me. I recommend you buy and read Ultra Black Hair Growth 2 book first (for a basic concept), then the Science of Black Hair book. The days of searching for adequate black hair care information are over, thanks to Mrs. Davis-Sivasothy. Most of the black hair info I got from these women in magazines, Youtube, or the internet; they were either were over the top & extra with their hair care regimen; they used overly expensive hair care products or secretive with their hair care regimen; they promoted (gimmicky) expensive hair care products (that they made or sponsored by the company), want you pay hundreds of dollars per month to join their hair care thread, or just misleading. Mrs. Davis-Sivasothy addressed 95% of my questions. Thank you, Mrs. Davis-Sivasothy. By the way, I haven't tried the methods or products she recommended yet. My other 5% answers I'm currently searching for great (humidity resistant) alternatives to relaxers. Do blow dryers with diffusers doing what they claim, like reducing the chance of frizz in curly hair? (This info don't have anything, nor I expect this information from Mrs. Davis-Sivasothy) THE PROS: She breaks down all the ingredients that you need to know, identify, and look for in hair products. She addressed what to look for in shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers, humectants, proteins, and oils. She breaks down a hair care regimen for everyone and their lifestyles. Whether you a natural, relaxed, texturized, transitioning, colored, or the sew in weave wearer. She covered a hair care regimen for all. She covered a hair care regimen for people who wear cornrows, twists, plaits, braids, locs, and other hair styles. She addressed a hair care regimen for people who exercises, and how to prevent the hair from sweating out if straighten. She addressed a hair care regimen for children and women with gray hair. She mainly focused on the balance of moisture/protein hair care regimen. Both of the moisture hair care regimen and protein regimen is broken down separately. They are listed in their basic of shampoos, conditioners, and moisturizers. You can use either (hair care) regimen depend on your hair porosity. She listed hair friendly gels and other styling products. She addressed protective hair styles. She listed all the product brands that fit every income budget. She addressed what to looked for in combs, hair tools, ceramic flat iron, ponytail holders, towels, and head scarves. She breaks down, how to detangle hair methods. She teaches you, how to stretch a relaxer. She teaches you how to apply a chemical treatment such as relaxer and how to texlax properly. (I find out I was relaxing my hair wrong) She addressed the differences in a salon relaxer and at home relaxer. She breaks down the differences of relaxed, texlaxed, and texturized hair. (Search on Google to see how a texlaxed hair looks like). She addressed a hair care regimen for young children and graying hair. She addressed the rumors regard to mineral oil and petroleum jelly. I LIKED THAT HER BOOK WAS VERY OPEN MINDED & NOT DEGRADING AFRO-TEXTURED HAIR IN ALL NATURAL & CHEMICAL TREATED FORMS. THE CONS: The L.O.I.S's hair typing system wasn't in color. I wish she provided full colored head shots photo examples of each distinctive curl pattern and hair textured types. The "L" and "I " descriptions were confusing. She didn't address "Scab hair" or provide photo examples. She didn't address the claims of color preserving hair care products. Do lace wigs or wigs have negative effect on hair? What are the effects of adhesives or glues that are for lace wigs, wigs, or hair weaves? What is consider normal, coarse, dull, oily, and fine on hair labels? She didn't address the rest of what ingredients to avoid in hair care internet rumors (think propylene glycol). Remember the YouTube's videos or hair articles like, "What 10 ingredients to avoid in hair care?" She didn't address can you color over previous colored hair without damage. All over, I recommend her book, and IT IS A MUST HAVE. I SUGGESTED MY FRIENDS & MY SISTER TO READ IT. IT IS VERY INFORMATIVE. GOOD JOB Mrs. Davis-Sivasothy! You put my journey for searching black hair care to rest. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (You can skip the part below of the review) This book is the only print media (IMO) demonstrates realistic examples of authentic afro-textured hair and bi-racial textured hair compared to other Medias and magazines. HERE SOME NOTES REGARD TO HAIR TEXTURES FROM ME ON SCIENCE OF BLACK HAIR BOOK If you read the L.O.I.S's hair typing system. Remember the curl pattern size can range from small to extra large. If you are biracial, multiracial, have wavy hair, or curly hair. You might follow under the hair descriptions such as Thready, Spongy, or Silky. If your hair is afro textured hair, you might follow under the hair descriptions such as Wiry or Cottony. Remember each person with Thready, Spongy, or Silky. Hair luster (shine) content varies from non to high shine (think Arjuni's hair weaves). Like a Caucasian woman (like with British, Scottish, or Irish background) with straight, wavy, or curly hair, the hair might not be shiny. Hispanics, Latin, Eastern European descendant, Middle Eastern, Native American, or Asian with straight, wavy, or curly hair; might have hair that either low shine to mid shine or luster. An East Indian with straight hair might have hair that has mid shine to high shine. A mixed (with black) person with wavy or curly hair hair varies from no shine to high shine/luster. Texlaxed and Texturized hair do not look alike. S-Curl perm is a texturizer.

Examples of Salon Relaxed or Straightened Bi-Racial Textured Hair or Curly Hair (without hair extensions) pg. 194 on Figure 69 and pg. 205 How I know because my mother has curly hair and she relaxes it. Her hair looks similar to this texture when straighten. P.S In black hair care ads, most of the models have natural wavy or curly hair. They are usually biracial, multiracial, Caribbean, or South American heritage. They are usually are photo shop, airbrush, bronze (spray tan), or tan in ads to appear more ethnic looking. Their hair is straightened with flat iron and glossing products are used to enhance shine. Digital enhancement are use to enhance hair shine. This advertisement is common in infomercials, Mizani's ads, Profectiv's ads, and Keracare's ads. On relaxer and other hair care ads they use black models with hair wigs, hair weaves, and partial sew ins. The woman on Creme of Nature's Normal Relaxer box, has a kinky straight lace wig that been ceramic flat ironed. How I know? When you part lace wigs, the part looks way thinner in width compared to a normal part on a real scalp. The hairs on the roots of the scalp hair on lace wigs looks narrow than the real scalp. The part on real scalp is wider than the lace closure part, but real part is narrower than an invisible part. On natural hair ads, most of the women have a texturizer or wearing a wig. On hair care ads aim at curly hair. These are not the women natural hair, but they receive a PROFESSIONAL CURLY PERM OR WIG. In HAIR COLOR AD COMMERCIALS, THEY USE WIGS & DIGITAL ENHANCEMENT TO CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE HAIR. ON TEXTURIZER OR S-CURL ADS, THE MEN HAVE A MIXED RACE likes Trinidadian (who have darker skin or who looks more ethnic). They have natural wavy or curly hair; most of the time those are not texturizers or S-Curls. Here is the marketing game on hair advertisements. I HOPE THIS HELPS! How I know? I had been paying attention to ads since 2006. I'm going to college for merchandising, business, and marketing. I'm currently trying to receive my associate of arts degree.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for understanding texture hair - relaxed or natural!
*by C***E on June 9, 2011*

This is a great book to understand textured hair- relaxed or natural! I had little to no understanding about how to care for my relaxed hair (been relaxing since I was 11, I'm 27 now). This book goes over what are good products to use, how to look for key ingredients when buying new products, understanding the textured hair structure and so much more that I can't even list. There is also a section on how to transition from relaxed to natural and also a section on caring for relaxed hair. This is the section I found most useful. I had no idea that there was a difference between conditioners (protein/Deep conditioning) and when to use it on relaxed hair. I also was one of the ones that believed that oil moisturized my hair. Because of this book and many black hair forums, I've grown to know this is not true. The section on moisturizing and sealing has changed my hair and I've only been doing it for the past couple of weeks. Prior to moisturizing and sealing, the ends of my hair were recently snapping off and I did not understand why. Then I read the moisturizing and sealing section. After reading the author's recommended products, I bought the Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave-In Cream, shampoo and conditioner, Coconut oil and Hollywood B. Olive Oil. I still moisturize and have started massaging my scalp with tea tree/olive oil, but not as much as I used to. I do believe with the massaging/light oil combo in my scalp, I've noticed new growth! Plus a good head massage is also an added bonus. This book has helped me realized to achieve healthy black hair; it takes time, patience and necessary dedication. You can't expect your hair to be nice to you, if you're not moisturizing it properly and taking care of it. A rule that I've just learned! The minor negative note I have is that I did notice two typos (but not a big deal because I understood what the author meant). Also in the product recommendation section, for example, I noticed that the Neutrogena Triple Moist. Mask is noted as a protein treatment and as a moisturizing conditioner. But on relaxed hair, can you use this product weekly? Reading the book, it says to only use a protein treatment a couple of days after the relaxer. So things like this, you have to be careful, read and pick your products accordingly. But beside these two "negative" notes, I loved the book and I'm still using it as a reference prior to doing my hair. Definitely a must to have!
