Good Place To Start
This is the first book I read while I was considering going natural. I found it funny and entertaining, and I read it cover to cover three times. The book was recommended to me by a hairdresser who had given up relaxing her own hair. When I talked to her about possibly going natural, she said that some people still "texturized" once or twice a year. While reading "Good Hair", I noticed that the author also talked about texturizing hair as an option, and in fact texturized (lightly relaxed) her own. I felt somewhat disappointed by that because the main reason I wanted to stop perming was so that I did not have to rely on anyone to do my hair. Texturizing was something that I knew I'd be unable to do myself. Furthermore, it made me feel as though the many styles Ms. Bonner modeled and gave instructions for would not work on my super tightly curled/kinky natural hair. I persevered however, and using this site, found the book, "Let's Talk Hair" by...

An Oldie but Goodie
Just so no one is disappointed, Lonnice writes that she uses a texturizer on her hair. Don't expect your chemical free hair to look like the hair in her cover picture. Just as we ladies all don't have the exact same skin color, we won't have the same hair texture or curl/wave pattern, grow hair at the same speed, etc. Keeping this in mind will decrease the chances of being disappoined by your chemical free hair. This being said, you may be surprised and hopefully pleased with what's naturally yours. Many of use will relate to Lonnice's funny recollections of the hair drama that led to her own natural journey. She then discusses the "science of hair": why hair grows straight, wavy or curly; the chemistry of how relaxers work, etc. She also explains how to best grow out a relaxer if you don't want to to lose your hair length by cutting off the relaxed part. I did this unknowingly as I was always lazy about touchups and had had about 2 inches of new growth when I decided on...

I took the advice; too bad the author didn't!
I toyed with the idea of natural hair since the idea first entered my head, about five years ago. I'd noticed more and more sistas with natural hair around me - and not just in dreads, locks or braids. That was important because I didn't favor any of those styles for myself personally. Finally, after seeing enough 'nappy and happy' alternatives, I started looking for a book to introduce me to natural hair care. (Isn't that sad, that any of us need guidance to care for our natural hair?) But I'd been perming since puberty, and didn't even know what my natural hair looked like or even what to expect from it. I got a lot of encouragement from the book, along with good advice and that cultural connection that Ms. Bonner establishes with her readers. Unfortunately, she doesn't exhibit natural styles in this book, her hair is texturized - but that's my only complaint. She should practice what she preaches, or at least show natural AND texturized styles. I went natural...
