0When it comes to hair care, everyone has a story to tell, both good and bad, of haircut nightmares and wrong expectations of their hair by others. Author Tina Carter knows this well, having been a licensed cosmetologist and salon owner for over two decades, specializing in caring for black women's hair. Her new book, Can We Just Talk...The Journey of a Black Hairstylist, is an instructional guide on hair for those desiring careers in hairstyling and beauty services. As she discusses the fundamentals of healthy hair, Tina debunks common myths of hair care and dos and don'ts when it comes to weaves, braids, relaxers and more. She also instructs hairstylists on the importance of continuing hair education and client consultations. What Tina conveys most in her guide is that hair can empower women and their beliefs in beauty, as well as provide an opportunity for women to serve God.
