Editorial Review: Kinky, curly, or wavy hair isn’t “problem” hair—it’s just hair with a different set of rules!

For too long, hairstylists and hair-care companies have ignored the needs of women with kinky, curly, or wavy hair, focusing on it as “problem” hair rather than celebrating its unique texture. But now hair-care and style expert A. Dickey, considered by top magazine beauty editors to be the foremost authority on caring for, cutting, and styling curly hair, has written Hair Rules! to end the frustration faced by women with curly hair every day.
Hair Rules! is chock-full of simple tips for all types of curly hair and covers everything from the best shampoos and conditioners to use, to damage-free hair-drying (dust off that hood dryer!), the use of natural oils, and the safest coloring, styling, and chemical relaxing techniques—as well as guidelines for maintaining healthy, gorgeous hair.

It's just common sense..., 2008-02-29
I really wanted to like this but Hair Rules didn't tell me anything I already didn't know about caring for natural hair. I bought this at Barnes and Noble last week on a whim. Got home read the first few chapters, like Tamiko Frasier's story and how she finally went natural and skimmed the rest. Liked how the author reminds the reader to embrace their natural hair and that good hair is really clean, healthy hair, blah blah blah. The book doesn't really recommend many hair product options and I don't think it's a good idea to set hair when it's dripping wet (could get messy). I do agree that a hood dryer is better for your hair than a blow dryer but I learned of this two years ago. I guess this book did come out in 2003 but most of this is still just common sense. I returned this book the next day and glad I did.

Not very great, 2007-12-23
I actually borrowed this book and some of the advice for curly haired people is disastrous. Such as washing the scalp and conditioning the hair - not very good at all - it leaves your scalp and hair sooooo itchy and dry. the book had no new information, and overall it didn't necessarily tell YOU how to take care of your hair, it was more how a rooky hair dresser should take care of YOUR hair.

Not for the Chem Free, 2007-10-17
If you are a natural haired chick who believes in not putting cancer causing, drying, stripping product on your beautiful hair, then this is not the book for you. I wanted to like this one I really did! Thing is I am all about healthy hair not hair styling.. and there are sections in this book where the author downplays the danger of PARABENS and MINERAL OIL!SILICONES TOO?!? Are you kidding me? . The weave section is pretty ok for everyone though.

This book is more for people who want to find product for hairstyling, not healthy hair maintenance.Black people need not apply. when our hair breaks it's GONE!
