Product Description
For years, African-American women have relied on harsh chemicals and relaxers to "manage" their hair--which more often than not did more damage than good. Improper braiding techniques have also contributed no small amount of harm, resulting in frail, damaged hair and even pattern baldness in women.
No Lye! offers a safe and easy alternative. In this hair-care and styling guide Tulani Kinard reveals the secrets to obtaining and maintaining beautiful healthy hair--naturally.
Discover...
The art of making braids, terrific twists and lovely locks
Easy recipes for products that clean, strengthen, and condition the hair
Ways to heal damaged hair
Painless methods of caring for your children's hair
Fast, easy styles for all lengths and textures of hair
The pros and cons of using hair extensions
Ask me your hair-care questions...I'll tell you No Lye!

 No Lye.. was a big LIE.. NO LIE! March 21, 2010
O. Hawthorne (South Carolina)
This book was a waste of my MONEY, TIME and EFFORT. It told information that didn't have anything to do with my 4a/4b LOOSE COILS. IF you are locked, then maybe this book is for you. It wasn't a good book and It has been sitting and I haven't used it to help me reference anything. It is not one of those books you will EVER pull out again. As a natural I am looking for books I can pull out later to help me.. THIS ONE is not IT! Don't waste your money. Borrow it from someone or check it out from your local library.
A waste January 26, 2010
Rach, PhD
I wish followed my instinct and not purchased this book. It was no help in caring for my hair. Most of the information is out-dated.
WASTE OF TIME May 2, 2009

Do not buy this book. This book is filled with simple information that you already know and even worse, it has a lot of MISINFORMATION. For example, it talks about shampoo with sulfates being beneficial when anyone who knows anything about natural black hair knows that sulfate shampoo dries your hair out. This book was a waste of my time and money. Try "Curly Girl" by Lorraine Massey instead. Visit motowngirl.com, curltalk.com, nappturality.com and happycurls.com to really learn how to care for your natural black hair.
 Very Helpful... October 23, 2008

This book really helped me in deciding if I could handle being natural or not... great for coming back to.
 A How to March 25, 2008
Rachel Good (California)
Good book on how to do certain things to natural hair, but I think I'm still going to go have someone show me how to do them. The "how to" doesn't really transfer in this book as well as it does in actual "show how to"
