Product Description
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.

 Just the Beginning October 7, 2008
This book opened the door for me at midlife to finally "let my hair down!" Thanks to the author, Lorraine Massey, I am not only growing out my curly head of ringlets... but cherishing every one of them! Something that I had previously always regarded as my curse in life! FRIZZ, HUMIDITY!!! This is a MUST READ for anyone with curly hair of all degrees and ages! Educational and Fun! A real Lifesaver!
Great Book for dealing with Curly Hair September 16, 2008
This book is extremely instructive re: curly hair. It tells you how to properly clean, condition, and style the three main types of curly hair. It also offers recipes for home-made hair-care products so you can save a few dollars. I have used all the recommendations, including one or two of the home-made products and my very curly hair is manageable and looks great! I definitely recommend the book as well as the Devacare line of hair products.
The CG Method WORKS!! September 3, 2008
Lorraine's book tells you to abstain from shampoo WITH SULPHATES, you can find all natural shampoos like WEN, Deva No Poo, Burts Bees or even Castille soap that you can wash with. The CG method suggests coating hair with conditioner prior to shampooing if you feel you want to shampoo to protect the hair and keep it's moisture or simply using conditioner to wash.
This method WORKS and I have tried it myself, and there are countless curlies on naturallycurly.com that are using this method and it works for them. Even straight hair can benefit from the CG method it's not just for curly/wavy girls but the book encourages you to find your "inner curl" and embrace your natural waves rather than subjecting your hair to the abuse of SULPHATE SHAMPOO, hair products containing things that end in "CONE" and SD Alcohol as well as excessive heat styling that is very harmful to our locks!
 Curly girls aren't alone August 31, 2008
This book has a lot of good tips for curly-haired girls. It also has a lot of stories from people who have battled with their hair most of their lives. It's definitely worth reading if you've ever been ready to give up on trying to work with your naturally curly hair. Put down the flat iron and embrace the curls!
So glad to find this book! August 28, 2008
After lots of years of straightening products and processes and lots of big rollers, and blowing dry, I have come to live with and love my 65-year-old naturally curly hair -- hurray! This is the first book I have ever discovered that glorifies the pluses of having curls -- and gives reasonable recommendations and suggestions for hair care especially for those of us whom nature blessed this way. I discovered this book while trying a "new" hairstylist at a salon new to me. What a delight to find someone who actually knows how to work with curly hair and bring out its best! I skimmed thru the book while I was there and discussed some of its contents with her --
yay! I am a most happy lady!
