Thinning Edges A Chemical Reaction

"I am a big Cathy Howse fan, and have used her products for years. However, I have to give this book one star. The first half lists the dangers of relaxing your hair, with a few pages in between that describe how to make the transition to natural hair. The other half of the book is comprised of Q&A, but she only provides answers for 2/3 of the questions! She could have taken the few pages of "useful" information from the book and listed them on her website instead, there was no need to print this book. I would highly recommend her second book and her products, but skip this one. I am returning mine this week.

"I read this book in about 1 hour. It tells you something that you already know. Lye/ no lye perms are dangerous if you don't know how to use them. But most things in this world is dangerous if you don't follow the manufacturer directions. She now advocates not using relaxer anymore which is all good and dandy but don't do something become someone else tell you that you shouldn't. It has to be right for you. There's chlorine in tap water but you still drink it. This book was poorly written. Grammatical error everywhere. I really can't take Ms. Howse serious."

"while a semi-clever title, Howse's book left too much to be desired
maybe her next book will be better..."

"This book was helpful to me because it tells me that constantly applying chemical relaxers to your hair will eventually thin it out. You should apply relaxers less often because it is damaging to your hair."
