Product Description
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.

 Can't recommend this book ( gavorski )
I guess if you are willing to follow the recommendations then you might like this book. I however am completely grossed out by the idea of NEVER washing your hair again. I have very dry hair but an oily scalp. My scalp needs to be washed. I think massaging conditioner into my scalp isn't going to clean it. I would have preferred a recommendation of a shampoo to use. I also don't think it is practical for most women to air dry their hair daily. I wish she'd have spent more time talking about blow drying with a diffuser. The one thing I did like about the book is it made me do some internet research ([...]) and I was able to find someone that uses Ms. Massey's hair cutting technique in my area which is invaluable. Most hairdressers do not cut curly hair any differently then they cut straight hair. Here's what I took from the book (I'll save you the money): The only product you need is clear, non-sticky gel; don't brush your hair; don't mess with it once it is styled; and find someone that knows how to cut curly hair.

curly girls rule the world!
I bought this book a year & a half ago. It has changed my hair habits completely. The only time I shampoo now is when I get my hair colored. Conditioner and exfoliation keep my hair clean & gorgeous! A hairdresser with curly hair helped. I've got a great cut. My curls look perfect. This book really changed how happy I was with my appearance. I no longer put my hair in a french braid every day. I also use the Devacurl Set It Free.

Just the Beginning
This book opened the door for me at midlife to finally "let my hair down!" Thanks to the author, Lorraine Massey, I am not only growing out my curly head of ringlets... but cherishing every one of them! Something that I had previously always regarded as my curse in life! FRIZZ, HUMIDITY!!! This is a MUST READ for anyone with curly hair of all degrees and ages! Educational and Fun! A real Lifesaver!
