From Booklist
In this funny, funky, and eminently practical guide to hair care for African American women, Bonner shares many of her own Bad Hair Days (and weeks and months) and her experiments with weaves and wigs and braids and Jheri curls; what's more, she illustrates her text with several dozen photos of the results of those experiments--and the healthier alternatives she now recommends. Bonner's basic advice to readers is to understand the structure and composition of African hair and find styles that take advantage of its natural curliness instead of injuring it with strong chemicals and heat in an effort to change its nature. Good Hair covers grooming tools, shampooing, conditioning, and daily maintenance; suggests substituting light texturizing for perming; describes newer wet-set styling approaches; and offers pragmatic "lifestyle" advice about coping with humidity, wind, and hot and cold weather. A useful contribution to readers' self-esteem--and to libraries' fashion and beauty collections. Mary Carroll
Kurzbeschreibung
Good Hair is more than a guide to having good hair without relying on harsh treatments and chemicals; it is a funny, folksy, personal, and very wise reflection on the powerful role that hair can play in creating a positive self-image. 33 black-and-white photographs.

Reading this book helped me to make the decision to wear my hair in its natural state. The last time I wore my hair completely relaxed was the day of my wedding (nine months ago). Since then (with the exception of a bad experience with having my hair texturized by a "clueless" beautician), I have worn my hair natural. My husband fully supports me, and he likes my short crop. I can't wait to see how good it will look when it's 4-6 inches longer. I plan to buy Ms. Bonner's other two recent books on natural hair care. We need more books that encourage black women to appreciate the natural beauty of OUR hair, instead of always trying to have someone else's! However, I would advise her to PLEASE have more specific information about the best hair products for natural hair. It would be very helpful!

I toyed with the idea of natural hair since the idea first entered my head, about five years ago. I'd noticed more and more sistas with natural hair around me - and not just in dreads, locks or braids. That was important because I didn't favor any of those styles for myself personally. Finally, after seeing enough 'nappy and happy' alternatives, I started looking for a book to introduce me to natural hair care. (Isn't that sad, that any of us need guidance to care for our natural hair?) But I'd been perming since puberty, and didn't even know what my natural hair looked like or even what to expect from it. I got a lot of encouragement from the book, along with good advice and that cultural connection that Ms. Bonner establishes with her readers. Unfortunately, she doesn't exhibit natural styles in this book, her hair is texturized - but that's my only complaint. She should practice what she preaches, or at least show natural AND texturized styles. I went natural after a grow-out period of six or seven months (yikes!) and haven't looked back. My hair has a natural curl I never even suspected, and it loves the "shake", described in her book. I can hardly wait till it's longer, and I can experiment more. I get a lot more compliments now than I ever did with processed hair, and black men especially go for my new look. We've been told FOREVER that we needed euro-hair to attract men, am I right? - but take if from me - we definitely do NOT. Black, white, asian, hispanic - they can all get with my new 'do. Best of all, I'M loving it! I only wish I'd done it sooner. Been natural for about four months now and have been stylin' and profilin' ever since. Try it; what have you got to lose? You can always go straight again in 1/2 hour, if you want. But it's worth an honest try to see (and experiment with) what you've already got. Why straighten your hair to within an inch of it's life, only to curl it up tight afterwards? I highly recommmend working with what God gave you; you might be very pleasantly surprised. I've sure been! - jem

A little advice for those who figured they could not try any of the natural hair styles that Mrs. Brittenum Bonner mentioned in the book. I personally feel that if you don't want to wear any kind of chemical in your hair and want to try a hair style besides braids or dreads, its litterally impossible without some kind of help from a chemical. They even have wash and wear relaxers on the market, but even they to have some kind of mild chemical straightener in them. You don't have to totally kill your hair with a chemical relaxer going totally straight. Like Mrs. Bonner said in her book, the page next to last. Use the relaxer as a texturizer to loosen some of the curl, not totally straighten tightly curled hair. At least by texturizing it, your not taking all the curl out. If you texturize it, you can try some of those great hair styles mentioned in the book. I just recently came out of braids, i could'nt stand to have them in any longer. So after 6 months of new growth hair, what was i gonna do? Kill it again like I've been doing for the last 10 years with my hair growing to one lengh then breaking off. After reading Mrs. Bonner's book, I decided that a mild texturizer was the way for me to go. With the thickiest hair in the world there was no way I can wear any of those hair styles in that book without my hair drawing up because of a little bit of water on it. Ladies with thick hair like mine, if you don't want to put some sort of mild chemical to it,or a wash and wear relaxer, you might as well pull out that straightening comb and comatize the hair with heat or wear those braids. Just because you may texturize it one month dos'nt mean that you have to texturize the next month especially if your wearing the natural hair styles Mrs.Bonner mentions in the book. Im just disappointed that she did'nt put more in there. Ladies, I recommend the cork screw crimp.
