This book is awesome.  I love the information and how it was presented.  The recipes are simple and can be made with items easily found.  I read it first through kindle unlimited, but I am going to purchase it because I need to refer back to it from time to time.

This book gave me a whole new perspective on Hair! Having had long hair most of my life, I have always prided myself with taking, what I thought was, good care of my tresses. After reading Awakening Hair, I have garnered much more insight and learned tips on helping my 'crowning glory' radiate with health, beauty and balance. I especially liked the chapters on washing and brushing. What a great find!

I love this book. I have read it several times myself and now my granddaughter and I are reading it together. It's a great book in which to open dialogue about everything from self-image, hair, racism, boys, sex and being a black girl in a world where her beauty is over looked or demonized in tthe mainstream media. A definite reading for any girl coming of age.

I really enjoyed this book and found the personal stories very interesting. I stopped coloring my hair about 5 years ago in my early 50's after 30 years of coloring, but it was a big transition for me to get there. My youngest child was born when I was 41 years old and at that point I was very sensitive to people thinking I was his grandmother instead of his mother. I sure could have used this book back then. I now LOVE my gray hair. Even though I stopped coloring a long time ago I still found this book very inspiring as I hope other women will too. I did buy this in the Kindle format, and as usual with non-fiction books, I'm sorry I did. I will now be buying this book in the paperback format.

Great book showing the beauty of a little African American girls hair. Pictures are heart warming and bring back memories of being a child and my mom doing my hair. As I'm going back to natural hair now I love the beautiful message that this book sends out and wish I had it as a child. Love the book!

We've all had them. We dread them the moment we get a glimpse in that mirror - bad hair days!!! But Harry knows how to deal with this horrid situation and tackles it with style. This is a humorous picture book which swoops from one of Harry's hair ideas right into another. The illustration are fantastic and tell the story almost alone. My daughter and I laughed and giggled as Harry showed all his different hair possibilities.

 Despite all this fun, the author teaches a little history at the same time. I'll admit, the first time I read through this, I wondered if the intended age group would recognize or know the faces behind Harry's hairstyles, but there was no reason to fear. Not only was my daughter laughing without the knowledge behind each pose, but at the end of the book, the author lists each famous name and gives a short description of their importance in history. This opened up a whole onslaught of questions from my daughter, and by the end, she knew a little more than before.

 Summed up, this is a fun story with pictures bound to bring a few smiles. Although children 0+ will love the illustrations, the origins of Harry's styles won't mean anything to the youngest readers. That's why I'm recommending this to the slightly older crowd (3+ or higher still) along with a 'warning' for parents - get ready to explain some history.

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely love this book.  I did so many hair tutorials from this and learned so much.  What a great purchase and they are easy to follow and full color  images.

I loved reading this book, it was very informative. I appreciated the way the author made reference to both natural and relaxed hair. I also enjoyed the chemistry break down of hair in general. What I especially liked, and found priceless with the book that I have not been able to find anywhere, is that the author provided a hair care regimen for problem hair i.e. dryness and breakage. A lot of people like to give advice, but no one really discusses the amounts they are using, and when to use, or whether the hair is wet or dry. In any case, I gave the book 4 stars, because it is a good book, but there weren't many areas that discussed using all natural concoctions or the Ayurveda hair powders that are becoming very popular in the natural community, and which I simple adore! Definitely a must read!!

I'm a 26 year old African American women who has been relaxing her hair since about the age of 13. My hair is nice and in good condition, but I'm at the point where I want my natural curly beautiful God given hair back! I am a marketing professional, and need to keep a professional look even though I'm transitioning to natural hair. Honestly I've forgotten how to care for my natural hair, so this book is a great resource for me. It's a quick and easy read, with useful information on care, how to info. I wish this book would have containied more about specific ingredients, products, and styling info. It only took me about 5 days to read though it. It's a good resource to add to your collection. It really speaks to the journey that many African American women have with their hair.

Yes, I am thirty something and I admit that this IS one of my favorite books! I keep this in the 'frequently viewed' section of my bookshelf! But then, I happen to consider it a sad shame to ever put away a good childrens' book!

There are funny poems throughout the book, and the pictures are really colorful, hand-drawn and fun to look at. My kids enjoy the book, but I don't think they appreciate it in just the same way I do! Some example of my favorite parts:

There's a two page comparison of the 1st and the 179th days of school.

"Other foods that my tickle your tastebuds" -which features foods with funny names.

I love the poem of the "Bad Hair Day" and the next page has adorable drawings and "Ways to Hide a Bad Haircut."

...and so much more! This is a great book! I recently gave a copy of it to one of my dearest friends who is 60-something and she lOVED it, and keeps hers out too!:)

I think I AM a KID again when I read this book!

If you want a book that you'll enjoy reading as well as the kids then this is a perfect choice!

I found out about this book after I had started my journey to gray hair and wish I would have found it sooner.  Everyone has a story, a why, which I found interesting, along with their individual tips as to what worked for them. The photographs are gorgeous! The author has shared her expertise with tips on skin care, style, jewelry, make up, not to mention products that work to add shine, help style and keep gray/silver/white hair in beautiful condition. I read it once, reading again and do refer to it before I go on the hunt for other products to try. Treat yourself with this book!

I thought this book was very insightful. I gave it 4 stars and not 5 because I haven't had a chance to put the information to the test with my hair.  I do believe the information provided was very good for me to start trying some things on my own. Thank you for a book that will help me explore options for my type of hair!
