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. 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. The book covers care for all hair types and for women of all ages and ethnicities. Walker provides women with tricks of the trade that will enable them to be discerning hair customers. And Oprah has endorsed the book by writing the foreword. Andredefinitely talks about hair, and it is definitely worth reading. Lillian Lewis
