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.… (mehr)

I love this book. It is not hype and my sister has been doing this for years, lol. I've always tried to wear my hair naturally but it would always puff out. Now, I'm relaxer free and loving it. The freedom of not worrying about getting my hair wet is more than I could ever explain. Plus, I don't have burns on my hairline and in my scalp from relaxers anymore. The information about products is a good enough reason to purchase this book. Who knew it would take almost 30 years for me to be FREE!! Thank You again Teri...
