“For years, I thought my thinning hair was something I just had to accept. I blamed it all on hormones and aging—never once did I think stress was the silent culprit behind my female pattern baldness. That all changed when I read Rooted in Peace: How Stress Silently Stunts Black Hair Growth and the Path to Flourishing.

This book opened my eyes to a connection I had never considered: how deeply unaddressed stress affects our scalp health and hair growth. The way the author broke down the science, emotions, and healing practices made me feel seen—and hopeful. I began using the techniques to manage my stress in everyday life, from journaling and breathwork to setting better boundaries and learning how to respond calmly to challenges.

Not only did I begin to feel more at peace mentally, but within a few months, I noticed a healthier scalp—less tension, less flaking, and to my absolute joy, new growth. For the first time in years, I could actually see and feel the difference. My hair started filling in again, and so did my confidence.

This book gave me more than just hair advice—it gave me the tools to truly take care of myself. I’m living proof that peace of mind can be the key to flourishing hair.”

"Reading The Great Black Hair Scam: Myths, Mistakes & Misguided Advice was a complete game-changer for me. For years, I was deep in the natural hair movement, following every trend—co-washing only, avoiding anything with 'cones or sulfates, slathering on DIY masks that smelled like a smoothie gone bad. I thought I was doing everything right. But my hair wasn’t thriving. It was dry, breaking, and my length never seemed to go past a certain point.

Then I read this book, and it hit me: I had been completely duped. I didn’t even realize how much misinformation I had absorbed—especially the idea that my hair needed to be treated differently from everyone else’s. The biggest shock? I had lost my edges, and I didn’t even notice until they started growing back.

Once I let go of all the ‘natural hair rules,’ I went back to basics: I started using good, professional products—yes, even ones not specifically marketed for Black hair. I cleaned up my diet, focused on nutrient-rich foods, and stopped treating my hair like it was fragile glass. I used common sense and consistency—and the results were undeniable.

Not only did I grow my hair out, but my edges came back thicker and healthier than I ever imagined. I’m finally out of the cycle of chasing trends and back in control of my hair. This book gave me truth, clarity, and most importantly—my hair back."

"I remember standing in the mirror one morning and noticing something that made my heart sink—my part was getting wider and wider. At first, I thought I was imagining it, but over time, it became clear: my hair was thinning, and I had no idea what to do about it. I was in my early 40s, starting perimenopause, and completely unprepared for how it would affect my hair."

That’s when I found Sacred Strands: Natural Hair Care for Black Women in Perimenopause & Beyond and Healthy Hair Regime: Food for Your Crown. These two books completely changed the game for me. Sacred Strands helped me understand the hormonal shifts happening in my body and how they were impacting my scalp and hair. I finally had answers—and more importantly, a plan. Healthy Hair Regime showed me how to nourish my hair from the inside out. I cleaned up my diet, started eating with my hair health in mind, and followed the practical steps in both books faithfully.

Within 8 months, that widening part filled back in. I could actually see new growth where it had once thinned out. And after a year of consistency—eating right, moisturizing properly, trimming when needed—I went to the salon and got a bob cut. For the first time in years, all my hair was the same length, full, and healthy. I can’t even describe the confidence I felt walking out of that salon with my hair thick, shiny, and even.

These books gave me more than just hair tips—they gave me my crown back."

"For the longest time, I was terrified of heat. I thought every time I straightened my hair—even once—I was destroying it. When my hair started breaking and thinning, I immediately blamed heat damage. I stopped using flat irons, avoided blow dryers, and jumped headfirst into protective styles. But despite all that, my hair still wasn't healthy. It kept shedding, felt brittle, and just wouldn't thrive."

Then I read The Boogeyman of Black Hair, Heat Damage, Dominican Blowouts & The Truth We Need to Hear, and it completely shifted my perspective. I learned that heat itself wasn’t the enemy—it was how I was using it and, more importantly, the products I was putting in my hair. I had been layering on heavy oils and butters, not cleansing properly, and suffocating my strands with buildup. My hair wasn’t breaking from heat—it was breaking from neglect masked as ‘protection.’

This book gave me the freedom to let go of irrational fears and the tools to use heat safely and effectively—just like women of other nationalities do. With proper technique, clean hair, and the right products, I’ve been able to straighten my hair without damage, and it actually looks and feels healthier now than it did during my “no heat” phase.

I wish I had read this book years ago. It gave me confidence, clarity, and most of all—my hair back."

"At 70 years old, I had just about given up on my hair. After menopause, it felt like everything changed—my once-thick hair became thin, patchy, and lifeless. I tried so many products over the years, but nothing worked. I honestly believed that at my age, hair regrowth just wasn’t possible anymore."

Then I came across Hair Care Strategies for African American Women During Perimenopause and Menopause and the Comprehensive Hair Growth Guide & Journal for African American Women. I bought them with cautious hope, not expecting much. But what I found inside was more than advice—it was education, encouragement, and a clear roadmap made just for women like me.

For the first time, I understood what was happening to my body and scalp, and how aging and hormonal shifts were affecting my hair. I followed the guide step by step—tracking my routines, adjusting my diet, treating my scalp with care, and most importantly, being patient. It wasn’t overnight, but slowly, month by month, I began to see change.

Now, two years later, I can proudly say my hair is back. It’s fuller, stronger, and growing steadily. My scalp is healthy again—no more constant dryness, soreness, or shedding. I even wear it out now with confidence, something I hadn’t done in years.

These books reminded me that it’s never too late to care for yourself and see results. I feel like myself again—and I’m so grateful."
