"Curly Girl" is packed with unique and fail-proof hair-care methods, inspiration, and an empowering pro-curl attitude. It s all here: daily routines for Botticelli, fractal, and wavy curls; Lorraine s no-more-shampoo epiphany "handle your hair as gently as you do your best cashmere sweater"; homemade lotions and potions. New to this edition: an illustrated, step-by-step guide to trimming your own hair (Remember: It s not what you take off; it s what you leave on.); a section on the "particular" needs of wavy hair; Lorraine s Down-and-Dirty Curly Boy Routine; more fabulous dos for weddings and other special occasions; a chapter on multi"curl"tural hair written by an African American specialist at Devachan. Plus, updated information on green and chemical-free products, 20 new Q&A s, and a DVD with tutorials on caring for four different types of curls. From now on, there s no such thing as a bad hair day.", 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., The Curly Girl manifesto is back, now completely revised, updated, and expanded by more than a third with all-new material. Created by curly hair evangelist Lorraine Massey--the go-to curl expert featured in Allure , InStyle , Lucky , Seventeen , and The New York Times ; owner of the Devachan salons in New York; and creator of a multimillion-dollar line of all-natural Devachan products-- Curly Girl is the surprising bible for the 65 percent of women with naturally curly or wavy hair and a desire to celebrate it.

Not for a 10 year old girl - references to sex that are unnecessary - I wanted a book to help with caring for and maintaining her hair.
The book came in and I gave it to my 10 yr. old to help with her hair. It was recommended to me by a parent, so I thought I was safe. Think again - shortly after my daughter was reviewing it, she asked - "Mom what is spontaneous sex?" I said, what, are you kidding me - needless to say this book is not appropriate for young girls. We will not be keeping this book - buyer beware - read the content before you give it to your kid. Content may be OK for hair tips - I did not review to be honest - I will look for a book more age appropriate for my daugher. Very disappointed in the references to sex - that was inappropriate.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
