If you want to know the stars that Ms. Da Costa has styled, or the styles that she is credited with discovering, then this is the book for you. If you need a substantive book on caring for natural or textured hair, this is not it. The first 85 or so pages contain very little hair care information, for example only a page or so is devoted to starting locs. I was extremely disappointed in the section of the book devoted to haircuts and styling of textured hair. There is not a lot of information for those of us who want to do our hair at home.
