Hair Rules!: The Ultimate Hair-Care Guide for Women with Kinky, Curly, or Wavy Hair
by: Anthony Dickey

Editorial Review:

Kinky, curly, or wavy hair isn't "problem" hair--it's just hair with a different set of rules!
For too long, hairstylists and hair-care companies have ignored the needs of women with kinky, curly, or wavy hair, focusing on it as "problem" hair rather than celebrating its unique texture. But now hair-care and style expert A. Dickey, considered by top magazine beauty editors to be the foremost authority on caring for, cutting, and styling curly hair, has written Hair Rules! to end the frustration faced by women with curly hair every day.
Hair Rules! is chock-full of simple tips for all types of curly hair and covers everything from the best shampoos and conditioners to use, to damage-free hair-drying (dust off that hood dryer!), the use of natural oils, and the safest coloring, styling, and chemical relaxing techniques--as well as guidelines for maintaining healthy, gorgeous hair.
"My mission," writes Dickey, "is simple: to advise and encourage all women with nonstraight hair to strive to attain their beauty, whatever their ethnicity, and whatever their tastes."

A great read:

I love this book. I'm transitioning to a texturizer on my long, type4a/4b hair. It's been 31 years since I've seen my natural hair so I had no idea how to start. This book answered my questions and gave me tips on how to condition and shampoo my hair. I ended up saving money by not buying expensive conditioners, and dumping my beautician. My hair has never felt so good. I'm able to blow dry my hair straight or wear it in a more natural style without problems.

The Hair Bible!:

This book has been essential in my everyday hair regime. I always get compliments about my hair and have reccomended this book to friend for years.

Too Basic; Main focus is on wavy or curly hair, not kinky hair:

I do not recommend this book. Maybe my expectations were misguided. I hoped to see detailed instruction on how to transition from chemically processed hair to natural hair and I expected to see different styles to wear natural hair. I didn't get any of that from this book. Actually, I could not read the entire book because it was very uninteresting and I felt like I could not relate to it. The target audience was not women who have very kinky hairm which is what I have. The author seemed to mostly address... more info

Others are better:

I read this book after reading curly hair books by Ouidad and Massey, both of which I thought were way better, esp. Massey's "Curly Girl." Like another reviewer noted, this book seems to be mostly for black women, with many chapters devoted to straightening, texturizing, weaves, etc. I only picked up a couple good new tips that I personally could use: don't over-rinse out your conditioner, and apply your leave-in with hair extremely wet. But even one good tip makes me feel the book was worthwhile.... more info
