Book Reviews of Curly Girl

Book Review: THE TRUE QUEEN OF CURLS
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is LIFE CHANING. I join the hundreds of people who sing Lorraine Massey's praise. Don't be fooled by titles... the other curly expert who proclaims to be the queen of curl didn't even come close to leaving a good impression with me. Read the reviews for Curl Talk and you see I'm not alone.

This book however immediately welcomes you. It is as vibrant and colorful as you are. It has personality, laughter and life changing insight! It is such and incredible source of solid information I have read the book cover to cover four times; each time gleaming yet more knowledge than before.

We curly girls know we go against the grain. We've been both kind and unkind to our curls, and rarely do we get support in our efforts to just "be ourselves". Lorraine Massey is like having a new best friend who tells you everyday how beautiful you are. And who wouldn't want that?!

Bottom Line... I didn't start loving my curls until this book entered my life. Following Lorraine's advice I was instantly transformed. After 1 deep condition treatment and my first attempt at styling her way, my curls look amazing, they feel amazing, and the compliments are pouring in. My cheeks have been red for weeks now! LOL

If you're like me and have fought your curls most of your life (blowing out - flat iron - chemical straightening) For the love of curls - get Lorraine's book and leave curly talk to the silent death it deserves!

Summary of Curly Girl

Curly girls of the world unite! Sixty-five percent of women have naturally curly hair, but for too long too many of these women have either been at a loss on how to care for their hair properly or, worse, have gone through life pretending they have straight hair. No more. Lorraine Massey, a professional hairstylist and passionate proponent of curly hair, celebrates the curly girl way of life, from hair care to carefree attitude.

Beginning with The Curly Girl's Twelve-Step Program (Step Three: I will accept that the scalp and hair are two different entities with completely different needs, and I will treat them accordingly), CURLY GIRL is an illustrated how-to, support group, and tongue-in-cheek manifesto all in one.

There are tips on shampoo (never daily), conditioners (use lots), drying, combing (only when wet and well-conditioned), styling, getting the right cut, and how to Heal Thy Hair after years of strong detergents and damaging blow-dryers. There are before-and-after photographs, Curly Cues, self-help tests, confessions from curly girls, advice to take to your stylist. And for girls seeking their inner curl, compassion and encouragement to let their hair break free-and to put the fear of frizz behind them forever.

Because from now on there's no such thing as a bad hair day.
