What Naturals Need To Know August 14, 2010

My relaxed sisters, raise your hand if you knew that natural black hair was actually easier to style than it's relaxed counterpart. Not many hands, are there?
Which hair type takes less time to care for? Natural hair or relaxed? Give yourself a checkmark if you answered natural.
One last question. Are natural sisters happy with their so-called unkempt, wild and yes, nappy hair? Yes, we are!
Myriads of black women have been programmed to believe that good, beautiful hair must be straight. So we relax it, fry it, burn it and do whatever it takes to rid ourselves of our pre-relaxed mane. We are convinced that we can't get a job or a man with a head full of naps. This is far from the truth.
Ms. Mireille Liong-A-Kong not only inspires black women to give their curls and coils a chance to break free from chemicals, but also educates the new natural to the styling options available to a fresh head of "NAPPtural" hair in her book "Going Natural - How to Fall in Love With Nappy Hair."
The black power afro is not the only styling option. Ms. Liong-A-Kong herself is pictured with more than a dozen different natural styles, not to mention describes and shows models with a plethora of others. Bantu knots, cornrows, twists, twist-outs and braids are just a few choices for the natural girl.
But you might reason that you could do those very styles on your relaxed hair. What's so special about going natural? Ms. Liong-A-Kong tells her own story. No more "hair-aches." No more chemical burns. No more bald scalp. No more breakage. Natural hair isn't just nappy; it is healthy.
This healthy hair can grow long with the right tender loving care. Locs are a testament to this fact. This book teaches you how to find the right products for your unique hair texture. You won't find an exhaustive product list, though, because all nappy hair is not created equally. Some strands and scalps react differently than others. Instead, you will learn which ingredients help and harm a natural.
You will also learn the completely different way of caring for fresh naps, from how to transition from relaxed hair with style to the art of detangling to the meaning of a trim. Ms. Liong-A-Kong doesn't just tell you what to do, but also tells how to do it and why it is important. This is how she cares for her hair, and it works, as shown by her luscious, healthy hair.
This book caters to the natural newbie. However, its thorough examination of natural hair will appeal to the natural with years of experience. Such veteran naturals will rediscover their hair's beauty, learn a new step in their hair care routine and may even be inspired to try some fresh hairstyles.
This book serves as a thorough guide for natural hair care. It motivates women to be confident just the way they are. New naturals, old naturals and wanna-be naturals alike will fall in love with their nappy hair.

This was a very informative book on natural hair and transitioning. The author gives great examples and illustrations. One of the best books on natural hair that I have read. And I have read a few! Highly recommended

The pictures were nice, but all of this information in this book is already widely available. I wish I didn't spend my money on it. Just go check the book out of the library if you must.

This book was very detailed and informative. I am eight months into my transition from relaxed to natural. This book is a must read for those who wish to transition. The book also contains various hairstyles you can wear, ingredients to avoid, ingredients to use and much more.
