Good Hair: The Essential Guide to Afro, Textured and Curly Hair

by Charlotte Mensah

Featuring case studies of clients who came to her looking for a hair fix, Good Hair dispels common hair myths and give you the knowledge and tools to attain good hair health. Charlotte's expertise is second-to-none and her advice acts as a corrective to the conflicting and misguided advice that can be found online. Packed with expert advice, nourishing recipes, and top maintenance tips, Good Hair is a celebration of the unique beauty of Black hair. It is the ultimate guide on how identify and understand your curl textures; promote hair growth and find good products; choose the right protective styles; overcome hair loss, itchiness, and dryness; and try styles such as cornrows, locs, and bantu knots. And while Good Hair is the long overdue bible and how to guide for black hair, this is not just a hairstyling book. It is also a very well-documented account of the cultural and political history of black hair, as well as an inspirational memoir of hope, determination, and entrepreneurialism, as we follow Charlotte's journey from Ghana to opening her first hair salon in West London.

Half memoir, half how-to. Interesting and informative.
