Hello Readers!
I have a new book
review for all of you!
The Hair
Commandments by Latoya Johnson-Rainey and C. Nathaniel Brown.
This book was
recently released and I was giving the opportunity to
review it and share my honest opinion with every single one of you!
This book is
approximately 132 pages long and is full of information about Wigs, Weaves,
Natural Hair and so much more. But let’s break it down and see what you can
expect to see in this book.
Chapter One through
Chapter Four: Wigs
In these chapters
you will find everything you need to know if you are thinking about option to
sport a wig. The writers give tips like:
*How to choose the
right Wig;
*How to choose the
right style based on the shape of your face;
*What is the Wig
Cap Size and how to measure it in order to obtain the right cap size.
*The difference
between lower and higher synthetic hair, human blend and human hair;
*The pros and cons
of the use of human hair in Wigs.
Additionally, you
will also have at your fingers tips, information on how to properly care for a
Wig. From shampooing, conditioning,
drying, brushing and styling it in order for the Wig to last longer. If you are not one hundred percent sure on
how to put a Wig on, don’t worry this book will also provide you with that
information!
Chapter Five through
Chapter Nine: Weaves
Like the previous
chapters, under the “Weaves” chapters you will find the different kind and
qualities of Weaves.
Tips on how to
properly apply them and care for them. If you are not familiar with the
different kind of Weaves that are out there in the Hair Market, and are looking
to get a better picture of what the differences are and which ones are “heat
friendly”, than this book is definitely good to have.
These chapters
will also give tips on how to determine how much hair you will need to buy and
the length of the hair in order to accomplish a particular style.
Chapter Nine through
Chapter 15: Natural Hair
I’ve been doing my
daughter’s hair for some time now, and I’m very familiar with the majority of
the information found in the Natural Hair chapters. But if you are thinking about going natural
or if you are looking to keep your curly kids natural and you are not sure
where to start, this is book is for you!!
You will have
information on:
*The Big Chop and
Transitioning;
*Texture Types and
Different Curl Patterns;
*Definition on
Co-Washing, Stretching Banding, Twisting, Blow Outs and Bantu Knots.
More importantly,
you will find tips on natural hair styles and how to properly flat iron your
hair without damaging your curly tresses.
At the end of each
section you will find a list of “Shalls” and “Shall Nots” which are great to
have!
This book also
talks about “The Bald Movement” and its founder Nell Coleman. The Bald movement was designed to support and
empower people all over the world to embrace the essence of being bald.
You will also find
information on CinagrOrganic Healthy Hair Products and its founder Giovan Lane,
Ancients Secrets with Temeka Royster, Hairnamics Hair Vitamins with Kim
Kearney, and more!
I truly enjoyed seeing
all the photographs and reading all the information contained in this
book. If you are new to the Natural Hair
world, this is a great book to have.
