It’s All Good Hair: The Guide to Styling and Grooming Black Children’s Hair
This book is short and sweet with a lot of good information and some cute hair styles
Rating: 4 / 5
Great book if you, like me, are parenting transracially and have no clue what to do about your child’s hair! If you already are comfortable with washing, combing and styling your AA child’s hair you may not get as much out of this book. There are many pictures of styles but usually only one of each style. That said, I highly recommend this book for hair novices.

We just adopted a newborn African American girl and I wanted to learn all that I could about the differences and similarities in hair, as well as have a guide for fun styles. This book fit the bill! I showed it to some of my friends that “do” hair on the side and they were quite impressed as well. Even though the entire book is black and white, the illustrations and the photos are of good quality.

I got this book because my niece wanted cornrows and I am a DIY kind of uncle. I was impressed with the instructions and illustrations. My niece was thrilled with the results and looked adorable.
My problem with the book is that some of the styles are a little over the top. I wish the book would stick to traditional African styles. Some of these “do’s” make the kids look like christmas trees or Chia pets. How are we going to get these kids to learn self-respect when we make them look so silly!
So, I recommend the book for rows, braids and such. But please parents (and Uncles and Aunties), keep it pure and keep it African!

i was not too fond of this book for a few reasons.first it is all in black and whit(although the paper its printed on looks more yellow!)and a few of the pictures are a bit hard to make out because of this.the pictures look old fashioned and look like something out of the 1960s.did she use a professional photographer at all??also i dont feel that the instructions are very well written,theyre not detailed enough,especially for a complete beginner(like me).she gives photographes for various types of cornrows(easy to difficult),but she only gives instructions for the very basic type and expects you to pick it all up from that.what type of good author and book does that?? no disrespect to this author but i didnt find this book very helpful.also the tips she gives for washing kids and babies hair did not work well for my kids,or their friends.I would have prefered it if it were more colourful and had better step by step instructions for EACH!! diagram,not just basic instructions for1 or 2 basic styles.
