Product Description
From the uptown micro braid to the simple cornrow, braids, locks and twists have come into their own. Plaited Glory gives the lowdown on everything from choosing a braiding salon to differentiating between styles and their costs. More than a "hair-do" book, this is a hari primer with a cultural twist. Photos.

 Lonnice has done it again!!!! July 8, 2008
Assata A. Knox (Summit, NJ USA)
The second in her installment of natural hair care and self-love, Lonnice has another winner on her hands with "Plaited Glory: For Colored Girls Who've Considered Braids, Locks, and Twists". She's managed to do what even exposure to other beautiful, natural sistahs couldn't do for years: get me to consider locks as an option for how to style my hair. And now, with so much attention given to locks--as well pictures of beautiful locked styles--I'm considering this option more and more. And of course, my hair will grow strong and healthy in the process, as well.
And as usual, there are Lonnice's anecdotes (who can forget "Stevie's People" without bursting into laughter? Or her imagining her mom as Shelley Winters and herself as Cleopatra Jones while taking down her self-made Afro puff?).
Um , Yay! October 17, 2007

This book was one of the best resources i came across for naturals and I don't regret it one bit! Fun and reader friendly prose shows the author really knows her audience. I read it cover to cover when it arrived and though most of the information I could find online , the locs section was particularly helpful. I'm not ready to loc, but the author did a great job detailing the cost in terms of time and money of each of the (apparently) many ways of locing . The book was worth buying for this section alone , but i was pleased to find lots of great additional tidbits.
There were times where things seemed a bit clustered and pictures would have been helpful but still I highly recommend this book to anyone going natural!
 Not so helpful December 3, 2006

I thought it was a funny and cute book, but overall it was not what I expected. My hair has been natural so I did not find the book too helpful. It was a nice read but if you are looking for a hair bible this is not it. This book is helpful only if you are unsure about going natural and would like to hear stories of another woman's hair story.

I bought this book on the "Bargain Book" aisle and I'm so glad I picked it up. My hair has been locked for 8 years, but I still learned so much about maintenance and care. This book is for you if you are just starting your locs or if you want to learn more about maintaining your locs.

This is a good book for basic care of natural hair. If you're considering going natural, you should definately pick this up. Plus, it's a good reference to have because it's information everyone can use.
