Product Description
At loose ends with your locks? Let the “Queen of Curl” show you how to bring out the best in your hair.
The lengths that women go to in order to tame their curls! If you’ve been blessed with curly hair, chances are that you’ve thought of it as a curse, complaining, “It’s uncontrollable!” “It’s a mess!” or “It’s so frizzy and
tangly!” Out of frustration, you may have mistakenly resorted to methods (straighteners, irons, blow-dryers) that only cause more damage to your hair. Now renowned New York City stylist Ouidad sets the record straight on curly hair and shows you how to start loving the waves, kinks, and curls you were born with. In Curl Talk, Ouidad reveals the secrets to bringing out your natural beauty, including:
* Finding the right cut
* How often to shampoo (and why you never wrap your wet hair in a towel)
* Why brushes and mousses should be outlawed
* The best conditioning and styling treatments
* Blow-drying, coloring, and straightening the safe way
Based on Ouidad’s experience catering solely to curly-haired clients at her exclusive Manhattan salon, Curl Talk is a straight-talking guide for your daily struggle with the frizzies, offering simple, step-by-step solutions for getting a gorgeous head of curls. It will revolutionize the way you treat your hair.

 Don't Waste your Money March 3, 2010
Dee from Brighton, MI (USA)
This book did not help me at all. In fact, the author actually contradicted something my hairdresser of 30 years told me. If you're curious, get it at the library, don't waste a penny on this waste. Also, my thinking is that a person gets this book for help, not as an advertisement for Ouidad products.
Poor Advice - Supercilious Delivery November 11, 2009

Fellow Curly Girls... IMHO this book is a waste of money. Though the author is "renowned" as the "queen of curls", I might consider a different crown, perhaps queen of the ego. It takes a great deal for me to say an unkind word, so realize I do not "cast this in print" lightly. I could go on describing the off-putting nature of this pathetic excuse of a book, but allow me instead to sing a little praise...
Instead of this dry, black and white poor excuse of a guide, I invite you to read the true "queen of curl" Lorraine Massey's Curly Girl. This book 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!
 Help for frizzy, knotty, curly hair ! December 27, 2008

After 13 years of trying to tame my daughter's hair, I finally learned what to do. After just 2 weeks everyone was commenting on her gorgeous curly hair! This book makes you feel proud of having curly hair & I never realised the potential damage I was doing with all my negative comments about the management of my daughter's hair. I bought all the Ouidad products after reading the book & they are amazing! The Treatment & Climate Control Gel are all we have used so far & I will never be without these products again. Thankyou Mrs Ouidad !

I loved how the book was not propaganda for the author's hair care line. The author gives very good information, (explaining that her hair care line falls under the critera for good shampoo, conditioner, etc of course) on what ingresients are good for curly hair and which ones to stay away from...even listing them in detail so you can shop at the grocery store!! It has great information on how to treat your hair, such as combing, shampooing, etc and even has sketches to demonstrate. LOVED IT!

This book is a great resource for those of us having a hard time taming our curls! She has packed this little volume with loads of useful information, from good/bad ingredients in products to how to enhance curl and prevent frizz. I only wish that she had a salon in Chicago!
