I often get asked, "Is that your real hair?" People are surprised to see a Black woman with long, healthy hair. My own hair journey has been a testament to the effectiveness of proper hair care, and it has helped me gain the trust of many clients. I believe that as Black women, our hair is our beauty, our art, and a reflection of our personality. While I love braids and extensions and enjoy performing these services, I am a stylist who cannot just throw a style over damaged hair. I take pride in caring for the health of each client's hair, recommending the right products, and maintaining the hair so it can grow properly to achieve any style. This book is not just for Black women; it's for anyone looking to expand their knowledge on textured hair. Whether you're a stylist who wants to provide better services to clients of all backgrounds, a parent with children of mixed race, or simply someone who wants to understand textured hair better, this book is for you. The world is becoming more inclusive, and it's essential that no one is turned away because a stylist lacks the knowledge or experience to perform a service.
