review 1: This book is a must read for any person with naturally curly hair. Although her tips are mostly suited to African-American type hair, there's quite a bit of useful info for those of us with looser curls. She confirmed my long-held suspicions of the hair industry's view on curly hair- Simply that most salons, products, ads, and companies know little to nothing of curl care. I laughed when she explained how ridiculous a dime-sized drop of conditioner is listed in the directions on most products. Us curly gals have to use at least a palmful of conditioner because of how dry our hair can get. I'm going to try some of her advice on the weekends to see how well my hair does with fewer products. All she uses is a mild shampoo, a rinsing conditioner, and a heavy conditioner for he... morer hair...simple and effective for her tight curls. She gives a list of products and other book recommendations for us curly gals.
review 2: If your articles and book existed when I grew my perm out as a teen, I would've known not to comb/brush my curls out after shampooing. Until I was almost 14 my hair was very long, full and relaxer-straight. I wish my parents had a book such as this before I got my first perm at age 4. They could've spared me the big hair-altering mistake I made, at age 25, when I got a chemical wave to appear more "Black" (lol... 'sounds ridiculous now when I reminisce about it). Your book is on my list to read, but your documentation of your hair history is profound. From your articles I learned to properly apply and leave a creamy conditioner in to define and add shine to my dry curls. I plan to let my son use it as a tool since he has natural curly hair, too. less
