The Black Woman's Guide to Beautiful Hair

(AFRICAN AMERICAN NEWSWIRE)Today there are many sisters who do not respect, appreciate or understand their own hair in its natural state. Therefore, we abuse, misuse, bully and try to change our hair in a misguided effort to control or manage it. We spend money, time and energy on weaving, waving, straightening, blow-drying and curling, as we salon hop to find a way to have better hair. Then, we decide this is too much trouble and we cut our hair off and start over. No matter what we end up with, we still hate our hair.

THE BLACK WOMAN’S GUIDE TO BEAUTIFUL HAIR (Sourcebooks) by Lisa Akbari empowers black women to succeed in having the kind of hair they have dreamed of having. This 7-WEEK PROGRAM TO BEAUTIFUL HAIR explains how to cleanse and condition the hair, the mind and the scalp!
