Customer Reviews

Great Pictures...

This book offered great pictures of many hairstyles that can be recreated on a varity of textures and lengths of hair. This book also offered great advice on how to properly care for childrens hair. If you want to learn how to braid hair, this book does offer some instruction. But in order to learn to braid, twist, part, etc. hair, you will have to practice. This book will provide many hairstyles for you to use for practice and/or so your child will look cute.

Picture Perfect

As a natural hair care provider, of un-processed/chemically free African-American hair textures, I purchased this book to offer my little clients some styling options for their natural hair. I love showing my little clients and their parents this book. It gives some great brief articles on proper management of our youth's hair. And OHHHH the young girls and boys in the book are adorable. Now if you are looking for step by step instructions of how to achieve the hairstyles showcased then this book is not for you. However there are a few step by step or diagram instructions on a few of the styles. I feel that this book is a must have for parents/guardians etc. of African-American children. Even if one is creatively or dexterity challenged in hairstyling this book has something to offer.

Good Book with Great Pictures

This book has some good ideas and wonderful color pictures.Each time that I do my 5 yr. old's hair she gets the book and picks out a picture of a style then I replicate that style for her hair.The styles are very simple.

I love it!

Great book. Both my 5 year old daughter and I love the images and colors, and I find the hair styles inspiring. She picks something she likes and I try to make it. Great with the chapter on boys, as well. It might be misleading to have "instructional" in the title, as the instructions on how to create the different hairdoes are very brief.

Thank you Pamela Ferrell!

As an adoptive mother of an African American daughter I have always been relying on others to help manage my 3year old daughter's hair. I envied friends of color who labored for hours doing the hair thing with their daughters. Pamela Ferrell's book is enlightening, and educational. I am now able to have that special time with my daughter, and produce a well-groomed ethnic hairstyle she and I can be proud of. I've heard it said that,"No one can ruin a black child's hair like a white woman." Well, this is one mother who wants her child to be proud of her ethnic heritage and of her mother. So I say Thank you Pamela Ferrell.
