DESCRIPTION:
Ronald L. said Hear Hair. Images native and informative. Enjoyed learning about a subject I knew little about. Andre writes with a flair and brings hair alive..

And Oprah has endorsed the book by writing the foreword. From Booklist Your first reaction may be "not another Oprah employee with a get-rich book." Yes, Walker is a five-time Emmy Award^-winning hairstylist and Oprah Winfrey's personal hairstylist for the last decade, but this is a great book! He has done an incredible job of talking about hair in an Essence-Cosmo-Glamour type layout that details the how-tos of hair care and not just his way of doing hair. Andredefinitely talks about hair, and it is definitely worth reading. The 10 chapters cover getting to know yourself; defining your hair type, care, and feeding; the art of the cut; making the chemical connection work for you; caring for gray; handling the hairy curveballs; expanding on what mother nature handed out; and finding the perfect hairstylist.
