0:01 Intro about the author & significance of this book
3:50 How the science community treats afro-textured kinky hair
5:45 Book review begins
ANSWERS HERE!
Q. Does she mention the whole baking soda issue?
A. She covers pH balance thoroughly. Can't recall if baking soda was singled out, but the chemistry behind pH holds true for everything.
Q. I don't think Ive ever heard you mention protein. What's your opinion on it?
A. I never mention protein because I focus on preservation. I've never done any heavy protein treatments on my hair. Protein use is usually of great concern for chemically treated hair. Natural hair's protein integrity by default remains intact and is less needed. But there are many variables, diet, wear & tear, over-conditioning, etc. that can make protein beneficial. The book explains it.
Q. does she address using heat and how often it can be used?
A. Yes! Pages 168 - 178 cover how to prepare hair for heat styling, how to properly use heat, how heat affects the protein structure of the hair, how much heat is too much, heat protectants...Wow, there is some good stuff here!
Q. Just wondering, did she address porosity at all?
A. Yes.
Q. Does the book talk about protective styling?
A. Yes! But not as much *emphasis* on it as I would like, personally.
Q. Hello! Does she explain hair loss?
A. If you mean preventing breakage, yes. If you mean scalp issues, or internal disorders that lead to hair loss, no.
Q. does she discuss scalp health? those itchies?
A. lol @ the "itchies". Hmm. No, I don't recall there being a strong focus on scalp issues. Because she stresses a healthy hair care regime (which should) eliminate that problem altogether.
My personal advice? If the itching isn't caused by a scalp disorder, it's most likely excessive dryness/dandruff (remember the scalp is skin too, it gets ashy!!) Or product build-up on the scalp. A regular weekly washing routine solved my "itchies". :o)
Q. does the book talk about trims?
A. Yup! And I loved the way she handled the topic too.
Q.Does she address locs in her book?
A. No, she doesn't. Sorry. I mean, they're mentioned..and I'm sure some of the general info applies (like color treated hair and nutrition) but this is really a loose kinky hair focused book. Loctitians stand up and write your book! ;o)
Q. I've read the book and loved it! Was there anything in the book that you feel she couldve/ shouldve been more in-depth? Mainly hair coloring. I want to dye my hair bad.
A. Audrey covered color hair care in extensive detail, in my opinion. It's not a cosmetology manual tho! :o). Um, what would I like to see in the next editions? Well, I'm going to deliver that feedback personally to her.
"Heat training" is kind of taboo and unexplored. I'd love for her to write/research that.
Q. do you know if this is offered on cd?
A. Not to my knowledge. You can find her at www.blackhairscience.com to ask.
Q. Is the book an easy read? Or are there a lot of terminologies and chemistry concepts that the average person will comprehend?
A. I really believe anyone who has finished high school should be able to comprehend this book. It's not like those abstracts you find on Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology.
Q.Is there anything mentioned in the book about how to care for hair lets say if someone were a fitness instructor and basically sweat through out the day everyday?
A. Yes, it covers how you can care for your hair while working out. There is a paragraph with tips on what you can do. In my opinion, someone who sweats a lot will need a very tight hair routine /schedule so that you can have the benefit of fun styled hair days, for events, dates, etc. too.
Keep in mind that well sealed hair will have some protection from the salt from your sweat. Remember that sweat (water) does not cause ordor, BACTERIA does. So if you keep your bacteria levels, leveled, by using scalp friendly pH products, smelly hair won't be an issue. Wear sweatbands and keep your hair out of your face to prevent breakouts!
Q. Does she talk about the evolution of afro-textured hair?
A. Evolution? I'm not sure what you mean. Please give me a little more to work with! :o)
Q. Does she address the whole mineral oil issue?
A. I believe it is mentioned once or twice, yes.
:o)

"Cultural continuity is maintained by educating children in the ways of their culture. And they are educated in the ways of their culture to MAINTAIN their culture, to advance its interests, and ultimately to try to maintain its very survival. That is the fundamental reason people are educated. What does it matter if you learn physics and computer science and everything else and you cannot defend yourself against a military assault by Europeans or a germ warfare assault? A knowledge of computer science, a knowledge of law, a knowledge of all of these other things matters not at all if you are unable to use that knowledge for your self defense. If Bush decided to wipe the face of this earth clean of African people there's not an African nation that could defend us against these people. And as long as we are not educated to defend ourselves against these people then we are being incorrectly educated. Nothing else matters.
Ultimately then, intelligence must be defined in terms of the degree in which it solves YOUR PROBLEMS. The nature of education today prepares you to solve THEIR PROBLEMS and not your own. That's why you study THEIR books, you go to THEIR schools, you learn THEIR information, THEIR language, THEIR styles, THEIR perceptions, so when you come out of school you can do a humdinger of a job solving European's problems, but you can't solve your own. And then you DARE call yourself "intelligent?" C'mon. That's the height of stupidity." - Dr. Amos Wilson
