Want Fab Curls? Buy this book! - By: Silversheen, 14 Nov 2008
I bought this book about 6 years ago when I lived in the states. I was looking for a website on how to care for curly hair. I thought I had wavy hair with lots of frizz & usuallly dealt with it by pulling it back into a pony tail. However, after finding this book recommended on a website, I bought it & followed the advice & found I had a headful of gorgeous, wonderful botticelli curls. I've never looked back.

curl girl review - By: bettytoo, 31 Jan 2008
i like this book. & tried the no poo method . i got to say my afro does feel sorf. my hair ranger from 4a to 4b hair .and my hair always dry after shampoo. i'm going to try the no poo method for a year & see if i retrain six inches. i think the book good in general. if you have 2a to 3c hair. but if you are 4a to 4b.she get black hairdresser to say get a mild relaxer. the author probably hasn't have a relaxer .and doesn't know the hell its bring .and the broken hair to & the burn scalp.but a part from that its a good book. you got to given her tips as no black hairdressing book .as even told me to for go shampoo. even thou my hair feel 100% better being conditioner washer.one cheer for the curl girl lorraine

A MUST for curlies - By: , 04 May 2004
From reading this book, I now know that I was a wavy girl who, in failing to deal with the wave, cut my thick wavy hair very short for 20 years. Deciding to grow my hair at the age of 32, I didn't know what to do with the thick wiry mass that appeared. I bought endless expensive products to solve the 'problem'. However, this book has changed alll that, & I now realise that the products, not my hair, were the problem! Demand that your hairdresser cuts your hair dry. Avoid sulphates & silicones in hair products, 'wash' with a tiny amount of very cheap conditioner (infrequently), comb with fingers only, turn your head upside down & apply a light, clear, silicone free gel, & watch your hair become manageable, soft & curly! It works! It may be obvious advice for some readers, but it wasn't obvious for me, & it has saved me pounds in my pocket & hours of my life! Four stars because the only thing I dislike about the book is that it is bulked up with 'tongue in cheek' confessions from 'curly girls'. I loathe this confessional sort of thing, would prefer to be a 'curly woman', but realise that I'm probably too old, grey & curly to appreciate curly humour...
Great advice for product-abusers! - By: , 27 Mar 2004
I found this book to be informative & helpful. After trying a few of the home remedies, I am now a convert to the strategy that this book describes. The author has included some great interviews with curly-haired girls & even though some of them sound way-out, it's good to read how others have dealt with their unruly & frustrating hair! Well worth it.
