This is THE BEST book on curly hair out there!!! You MUST buy it!
I went from straight to curly hair because of a Rx. I was completely lost! Being a product freak, this book was perfect for me! Taught me all about hair. Period.
I am so happy I got this book! Life is easier now without all my hair drama! :)

I bought the book after receiving my Deva Style.  I glance through the book in the salon.  It has so many tips and styles and comes with a neat CD.  It is worth the read if you are maintaining curly hair or opting for natural hair.

I am a hair stylist who does mostly Black hair and I brought this book for myself...to educate myself more on the science of black hair and how to grow it,how to take care of it and how to treat it. And this book really, really informs you about that. I am still reading the book and learning with every page that I read. I'm in chapter 4 and I have just about every word, sentence and paragraph highlighted. This book has vauleable information about black hair. And I can remember some of the information being taught to me while, I was attending beauty school. But this book goes more into detail and depth. It goes from the kind of shampoo you use;to hair structure; to hair porosity; to understanding the hair growth and what causes damage; and how to build a hair regiment for healthy hair. This book is totally worth the money for the great amount of knowlegde you get from this book. This book shoould be included in the beauty school curriculum....that how good and educational this book is!!!! I give this book 5 starss :-)

This book has an amazing amount of information. Lots to sort through, but, worth the time. My husband just went through larynx cancer and had surgery last month. Now I'm making sure it doesn't return and that I don't get it either. We already began our organic fruits and vegetables, cutting out processed foods. Detailed information regarding supplements, vitamins, minerals etc. is very helpful.

I really liked this book. I have been "no 'poo" for almost a year, and really like my hair, but this book taught me some new things that I can add to my hair care routine. I am looking forward to having my hair healthier than ever.

Honestly, I don't think I really would have needed this book. When I first picked it up, I had beautiful waist-length black hair. I, striving for perfection, read it through and eventually bought it. I was completely hooked by the time I read about shampoo companies and the dangerous chemicals leading to hairloss. After easing into it slowly by making the essential shampoo and using the apple vinegar based rinse, I realized that my scalp stopped being so itchy and my hair stopped being so greasy. Flakes disappeared, and after I started using the cayenne based solution every week, my acne even started to clear up. This book has served me well. I don't think I shall ever go to store-bought shampoo ever again. This book should appeal to more than the balding demographic that it already does - everyone should take advantage of this.

Man oh man, the things we go through when it comes to our hair!  This is a very informative journey of black hair from the 1400s in Africa, all the way to the new millenium. Byrd and Tharps go into detail about the ways we "tamed" our locks from home-made concoctions to cultural and political aspects to the booming business of today's barber and beauty shops.  There are many pictures of styles old and new and I found myself truly intrigued as well as shocked at reading the different experiences our people went through in the quest to straighten their hair. This book is a must have.  I highly recommended it for anyone wanting to know about the "roots" of their tresses.

I am currently growing my hair out of it's relaxer, having gone down this road before and then gone back to the relaxer due lack of knowlege, laziness and impatience in how to look after my natural hair. I wanted to go through this journey again armed with as much tools as possible.

After seeing an interview with the author on the blogsite Black Girl with Long hair(BGLH) I thought I buy the book.

I haven't gotten all the way through it yet, but what I have read has been very informative, regarding our way of think towards natural hair, and how to care for it.

This is must have for anyone who is, or thinking about going natural!

I skimmed through the entire book during a hair salon appointment (haha!) and I absorbed so many good ideas. I especially enjoyed the section on how to communicate with someone who's upset and actually help themrather than making them feel even worse. It's a rich book that you can dive back into, over and over, and keep discovering all kinds of new things. I've recommended this book to friends and several clients as well. Five stars, all the way!

Practical, entertaining and instructional --- I found this book to be extremely useful for clear, fundamental information about caring for curly hair.  I liked the division into different curl "types" (such as "wavy" or "Botticelli") plus a new concept in washing regime and specific home made recipes. The personal testimonials were poignant and resonated with this child of the "straight hair 1960's" (!!)  Bottom line is that I have purchased 6 copies of this title for other curly haired friends and *all* ladies have given the book rave reviews.  Now --- can we see a book for MEN??? My husband is envious.  Curly regards.

Very down to earth practical advice. I could relate to all of the authors struggles with her hair. I also liked the educational aspects explaining the makeup of curly hair.

if you have curly hair, you need to read this book. It will change your world. not that you need to use all the products from Deva Curl, but the knowledge and the processes will work for you if you just have faith and follow along. It's so nice that someone figured this all out for us.
