Good book for anyone thinking of taking the leap into natural hair. It points out their options and gives them a starting point. Its also somewhat informative for new naturals but it definitely needs color pictures for illustrations so that you can see what you are meant to see. Some areas of the book also need more clarity. For example, I read about 3 pages of a discussion about Henna before learning that the author was talking about hair coloring. Overall, it is a good starting point into the world of natural hair. Sooo this book is not really for white wavy girls like me. Still lots of helpful recommendations that I can apply to my 2a/b wavy hair, but there were many moments when I had no idea what she was talking about. I would have liked more detailed explanations of some of the techniques (ie. how exactly do you seal the hair with oil after conditioning?). Worthwhile for the discussions of what defines beauty, product listings, and personal hair stories.
I think this is a great book for Natural Hair for those are or considering going natural.
