Truly life-changing for me.

An excellent manual on Afro hair for anyone beginning or restarting their natural hair journey
I throughly enjoyed reading this book. In my opinion, it’s a complete guide to Afro hair that is much needed in this age of misinformation. I would highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of starting their natural hair journey or have been natural for a while and want to gain expert knowledge on how to optimise hair and scalp health.
