I got Andre's book back in the 90s. That book changed my life.
"I don't understand what you want from me. So I'm going to need your help in determining how to get the output that you desire."
I'm no longer going to fight with people or try to figure out what they want so this is going to be my go to answer for when I don't understand something. I just wrote something similar to my boss because I'm tired of going back n forth with her trying to understand how she operates. Tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it...I just want to go home at 4pm and your cooperation will make this day easier.

Do you mind detailing some of the change that came about after you read his book? I would tell a partial lie and say I'll check it out but I know that even in the book is in my possesion, I'll never have time to read it.

It was the first time I read literature on hair typing (I'm a 3a) and saw pics that glorified all sorts of textures instead of addressing how to "tame" them, alternatives to chemical processes, moisturizing processes for damaged hair (mind was at times both relaxed and colored). He discussed silicones and sulfates, and weirdly pushed for Nexxus Humectress conditioner for damaged hair. I was a teenager then, and the book felt so revolutionary compared to other hair care books out at that time. The humectress did save my hair as did his approach to washing the different types. I bought Sam Fine's makeup book shortly after too.
It is probably outdated now, but many of the current naturally curly resources online (for both Black and non-Black women) use similar hair typing and approach, although online forums have helped sophisticate the process more.
Thanks! It sounds interesting I may really have to check it out. If it's a decent price, I'll buy it and just add it to my collection and try to read it sooner than later. Thank you again.
