PAID ADVERTISEMENT...Not with my money!.......2006-07-25

I resent squandering my faith in ordering this book. This is the most self serving waste of words I have ever ordered from Amazon. I expected a instructive and useful manual to help Black Women survive the hair wars. I expected helpful tips in understanding our hair & how to master the obstacles we encounter, ranging "yes, chemicals, but also the harsh environment. Some of us live in dry climates, humid climates, getting older & seeing hair changes, dry hair, thinning hair & to grow old with fabulous hair. something like this is what I call "talking hair", Instead, the first 50 pages address, "my spirtual journeys, daily affirmations & issues of not having loving parents?... is that why my hair is damaged? The last 150 pages are hair styles, mostly fake ones ( I can get in a fashion magazine for less!) One chapter gives useful instruction, so this book could have been 200 pages lesser and with thinner pages (like most books), instead of the 100# gloss paper used in half the book, giving false impression of providing volumes of useful instructions for desirous Black Women. Save your money, really! I am getting mine back!

Excellent Book.......2006-07-05

This book was the most helpful on going natural. She's so thorough on everything that I am now making this my hair bible. It answered a lot of my questions.

This was a wonderful gift.......2006-03-14

to a friend who has a Bi-racial Child, and was frustrated with the limited things that can be done with hair that does not come with instructions
I have seen her daughter since she got the book, and she is looking VERY cute, and loves showing off her newest hair style

Very Good Job!.......2004-09-27

Ms. Ferell did a splendid job with this book. I just did "the big crop" on August 30, 2004 after having relaxers in my hair since I was 12. I am now 32 and feel so much better about myself. This book really explains in detail how to care for natural hair. The only fault I had with it was that it did not give brand names of products that would be good with natural hair. Other than that, this is a book I refer to almost daily.

not my cup of herbal tea mate!.......2004-06-22

Sorry, not my cup of herbal tea mate!!
However I would say read as many books as you can on the subject then you would get a higher understanding.
This book is like having group therapy or interviewing other women,but it is not all black women's views.I am reviewng it because I think it is worth a read.

As you may or may not know African coily hair is quite unique in vision, texture, behaviour and probably in chemical make up too. Coily haired women around the world, go to the most extremes in terms of spending.
(Spending time, spending pain and the spending price to have African coily hair styled)
A hairstyle that we believe looks good or will help us to become socially and economically advanced.
Or maybe for our own self-esteem and maybe to attract the charms of a love interest.
Either way, psychologically and philosophically I believe that your hair is a reflection of the state of your consciousness, your internal beliefs and your relationship with the world.
What about exploring physics through african hair?
For example how much pressure, gravity and tension and tearing do we put our hair through by combing it?
let alone excessive harsh combing.
Mathematically speaking how many of you readers can tell me how many curls/coils per inch your hair has, and does it vary in coil and moisture?
Next question:When does the nature of the hair change and why?
(i know it does!)
It seems to me all these books on afro hair are good and I welcome it, but we still need to be more informed and they all seem to need better editing, just like Black American beauty magazines.I must campaign for better grammar and less air brushed photos!!!
It is as if we like to see ourselves falsely rather than the reality of what we are...
Black women need to demand more scientific reasoning from our books and be less competitive over black men which only fuels their egos and as a result probably creates more baby-mothers!!!
Sorry but I had to vent out my opinions.

I maintain that it is still worth reading,more than any carcinogenic chemical so called hair treatment that you pay for.

Anyway what do I know I am a black african british woman!!!!
Most of you Americans think we in Britain have no trains or any kind of progressive development!!!
Anyway if I wrote my book answering my questions that I put to you how many of you would buy it?

Book Description

Whether you're expecting or already parenting a child, you still have a chance to offer them the gift of a healthy, disease-free life.

In Growing Up Healthy, Joan Lunden, one of America's most trusted journalists and most visible working moms, teams up with Dr. Myron Winick, a leading expert in childhood nutrition, to produce a guide that contains the lifesaving knowledge we all need to shield our children from disease and help them grow into strong, fit adults.

Based on groundbreaking research that shows the link between childhood nutrition and "adult diseases" -- including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and cancer -- Growing Up Healthy will teach you:

how to choose foods that will boost your children's brainpower, fuel their growing bodies, and shield them against disease
which foods influence our children's bodies during the years in which their cells are forming,and their organs and tissues are developing
why growing children should not adhere to low-fat or low-carb diets
how to create healthy life-long eating patterns that help prevent the onset of chronic illness

...and more. From first foods to fast foods, this comprehensive plan for childhood nutrition goes far beyond the basics to invite us all to give our children the gift of a life infused with good health and vitality.

Customer Reviews:

Growing Up Healthy by Winick.......2005-04-20

The work describes the particulars of childhood nutrition.
For instance, food should not be used as a reward for children.
Parents should control sugar (especially processed sugar) and
provide meals consisting of fruits/veggies. Calcium and Vit. D
supplements are another important source of long term osteoporosis
control and bone health-far into the future.
Sample menus are provided to take the difficulty out of depicting
good nutrition. The author describes good/bad cholesterol.
Vitamins B6 and B12 are vital to control homocysteine levels.
Folic acid is another important vitamin utilized for a similar
purpose. At the appropriate time, a child's intake of breast
milk should be curbed. The book has a considerable literature
on how to raise children nutritionally fit for life. It is a solid value for the price charged.

Healthy Lifestyles Made Easy.......2007-04-27

Dr. Renna has captured may attention! I always find that reading healthy lifestyle books becomes arduous and boring because the language and recipes are difficult for the lay person to understand. Growing Up Healthy the Next Generation Way is user-friendly AND interesting. Not only have I begun to follow the four steps in getting my kids to eat healthy, but we are also walking and exercising as a family. Thanks, Dr. Renna, for giving my family a new outlook for our future.
