As salaamu alaikum & Hello, I am looking to purchase and read some of the great natural hair care books that are on the market. Lately, I have been very, very interested learning more and more on the growth pattern , proper care , etc... in the way of natural hair.
I know that there are some fabulous natural hair care books out . I'm just not completely sure on which ones are really worth buying. I am not looking to purchase a book in which it's going to pretty much tell me the basics. Things that I already know ...I'm looking to buy a book that may include that ...plus much more.
So, if any of you ladies ...know of a really great natural hair care book.....please let me know !
Until, next time...Take care ,and.....
ENJOY!!!
This really reminds me that I need to start dishing out more reviews on natural hair books that I've read. While I have purchased some books, most of the ones I've read I checked out from my local library.
ReplyDeleteOne book that was not available from my library that I once considered purchasing was Nappturosity. I haven't really heard reviews on the book but the description makes it seem like this book goes beyond the basics of natural hair care. I just couldn't see paying $27 for a book and being disappointed if I didn't like it.
@ Callalily... Please do , I am really interested in buying a few. And I would trust your advice in which ones you found worthy.
ReplyDeleteYou, know checking them out...at the local library is a very good idea...especially since I take my children there weekly...I will search a few out.
Nappturosity...I will research this one as well. Yes, I'm with you on paying for a book in that price range...just to recieve the very basics.
If you know of any , that you have in fact read, and you found to good, and worth buying. could you share with me the names of the books ?
Thank you so much for responding and sharing. This was very helpful. And as always ...thanks for stopping by, its always a pleasure ( smiles)
Take care.
Off the top of my head, I know I really liked "Thank God I'm Natural", "Don't Go Shopping for Hair Care Products Without Me" and "Naturally Healthy Hair". I purchased those. You can check the info on Amazon for more details to see if that is what you are looking for since most times you can view sample pages.
ReplyDeleteI checked the website for Nappturosity and they do offer a money back guarantee.
@ Callalily , ok ...these sound great , I will surely look into these, at amazon.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, for your help...Your wonderful !
I will keep you posted on my finds (smiles)
Take care.
I'm co-signing with CallaLilly on "Thank God I'm Natural". Although its only the 2nd natural hair care book that I've read, I loved it because it breaks everything down and can be used by natural heads at any level. Definitely a worthwhile investment.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first bc'd, I purchased "Textured Tresses" and just didn't get it. At the time I felt like it went over my head. I just didn't like it. I still have it. If you'd like it, just send me an email and I'll mail it to you. You may like it. But I still recommend "Thank God I'm Natural".
Just let me know.
@ ChocolateOrchid...Ok, its official I will surely invest in
ReplyDelete"Thank God I'm Natural" I have both you and Callalily , stating that it is a good and beneficial read...I'm on it ( lol)
CO, I would love to have "Textured Tresses" and thank you so very much for your true and genuine generosity.
I will be sure to email you my information.
I will keep you ladies posted as I continue to add the book mentioned above...as well as a few others to my home library.
Take care , and thanks CO for stopping by ( smiles)
Hi, Zainab!
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend Hair Story," by Ayana Byrd & Lori Tharps and "Dreads" by Francesco Mastalia & Alfonse Pagano.
Both of these books focus little on actual styles. They're more educational, about the history/dynamics behind natural hair.
In addition to being informative, "Dreads" is a beautiful picture book. It's oversized and has big, detailed pictures of different dreadheads with their personal reasons/thoughts about dreads. I would call it a "coffee table" book.
And yes, I found both of these at the library, although I've since purchased them.
Good luck and let us know what you decide on!
@nappy headed blac girl....hello, and thank you so much for your response...these books sound amazing, as well. I will look into them... as well as add them to my list.
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much for stopping by , and I will keep eveyone posted on how I make out. Take care.
