Introduction

This unique book is focused on African-Caribbean hair and contains very good information for both hair professionals that work with relaxed hair or consumers who have relaxed hair and wish to learn some tips on how to care for their hair.

Unlike some books, this textbook style book offers lots of good photos, drawings and other helpful ways of sharing information in a clear and easy to follow format.

It includes tips on how to create finger waves, apply chemicals such as relaxers and color and how to care for relaxed hair. 

This book is published by Thomson Learning which is located in the UK and is known for publishing high quality hair books.  This is the second edition which as updated from the original book. 

It is a known fact that African-Caribbean hair can be more challenging to work with than other types of hair and this book does a good job of demonstrating how to work with this delicate hair type.  It definitely will help anyone who is serious about learning to develop a better understanding.  Students of hair will have the opportunity to develop skill and expertise.

Book Description
African-Caribbean Hairdressing, Second Edition is an updated essential guide covering all aspects of African-Caribbean hairdressing techniques in this area.

It and is the only book written in the UK for students and professionals studying and working with this client group. African-Caribbean hair is more delicate than other types of hair and the techniques and procedures require a specialist knowledge and expertise. This book takes the reader step-by-step through each skill area with the aid of illustrations and photographs.

While I was impressed with the photos and step by step instructions, I would only recommend this book to someone who had this hair type or wished to learn how to work with it from a professional viewpoint.  This would definitely be a good book to have for cosmetology students or parents wanting to learn to work with their children's hair.
