Self-Help
Curly girls of the world unite! Sixty-five percent of women
have naturally curly hair, but for too long too many of
these women have either been at a loss on how to care for
their hair properly or, worse, have gone through life
pretending they have straight hair. No more. Lorraine
Massey, a professional hairstylist and passionate proponent
of curly hair, celebrates the curly girl way of life, from
hair care to carefree attitude. Beginning with The Curly Girl's Twelve-Step Program (Step
Three: I will accept that the scalp and hair are two
different entities with completely different needs, and I
will treat them accordingly), CURLY GIRL is an illustrated
how-to, support group, and tongue-in-cheek manifesto all in one. There are tips on shampoo (never daily), conditioners (use
lots), drying, combing (only when wet and well-conditioned),
styling, getting the right cut, and how to Heal Thy Hair
after years of strong detergents and damaging blow-dryers.
There are before-and-after photographs, Curly Cues,
self-help tests, confessions from curly girls, advice to
take to your stylist. And for girls seeking their inner
curl, compassion and encouragement to let their hair break
free-and to put the fear of frizz behind them forever. Because from now on there's no such thing as a bad hair day.
