everything you wanted know about black hair care!!!

My last two hairdressers have sucked...they do not do what you asked them and seem content to give you services they want to give you instead of what you want. This book teaches you how to improve your hairs condition and empowers you to stand up to your beautician to get what you pay for. Great read, great information, Great book. If I ever get to go to the East Coast- I am definitely make an appointment at her office. definitely a great buy!!!

A PLUS ++ for SKIN ADVICE

I have the 4 types of eczema that she talks about in the book, I agree with most of her ways to take care of my brownskin, hair is a different story, I can't see me perming my hair every 3 to 4 months otherwise I thinks this is a pretty good book I feel she knows what she is talking about so much that I'm making an appointment to see her.

A great book, A great Dr. and a must read for Black People!

Unfortunately most people do not understand that people of African decent have unique dermatological challenges that do not affect other races. Dr. Taylor has done a phenomenal job of both publicizing this and addressing things that we need to do to improve the health of our skin. I don't agree with everything she says 100%, particularly as it relates to diet and acne, but she has done a better job of addressing dermatology for people of color than anyone else I have seen or read to date. In addition to really enjoying her book I travel from NYC to Philadelphia to receive treatment from her for a unique acne condition that predominantly affects black men (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae). Over the course of 15 years I have seen 3 Dermatologist and 2 Doctors who have told me that there is no way to treat it. To end a long story after one treatment from her and some topical ointments the condition is 97% gone! I giver her business card to black men that I see on the street who have really severe baldness and razor bumps due to this condition. In summary: A great book; A great Doctor and something that all people of African decent should have in their library.

This is a MUST have!

This book is so clear and concise that anyone can understand it. If you want to have beautiful hair, skin and nails at any age, you must have this book! I have already started using most of the principles included in the book and I have notice a complete difference already ...and it's only been 1 month since I got the book. This is a great read for ANY woman or man of color!

A Flawless Find!

In the midst of the summer's challenges for skin and hair,I am thrilled to have found Dr. Taylor's book. Dr.Taylor has included so much valuable information in a very accessible format. She appeals to our common sense which makes her suggestions palatable and easy to follow. The reader does not walk away feeling bad about choices previously made in the area of hair and skin care. Rather you feel motivated to succeed in moving in a new direction. So often advisors in these areas relish giving advice with out regard for the client. Dr. Taylor's approach is quite different. Her specific suggestions along with product names leave the reader feeling capable. Finally, the fact that Dr. Taylor is a physician gives this reader greater confidence in her advice. Additionally as a woman of color and mother of two girls, I know she can relate to my experiences. Thank you Dr. Taylor for walking us through the maze! A MUST FOR THE HOLIDAY LISTS!
