Review of Good Hair: For Colored Girls Who've considered weaves when the chemicals became too Ruff by Lonnice Brittenum Bonner

Just this weekend I went to the library and stumbled upon this book. Again. I had skimmed through it once before and probably got a lot from it but I resisted change and only began to use a spray bottle of water to spritz my hair with.

I feel that "Good Hair," relates to most Black women who want to try something, anything to keep their hair from falling off. Lonnice Brittenum Bonner speaks with ease that makes any reader feel like she's one of her girlfriends. In the introduction she talks about her hair problems which makes it so much harder for us African-American Women to shy away from our own hair problems/stories. An example of a hair problem from her book is:

When I wore braids for one and a half years and grew a shoulder-length head of hair I literally thanked God for, only to screw it right up with a chemical straightener... on top of a home curly perm. Go ahead and snicker, but you know women who've done this if you haven't already done it yourself...
