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.

I picked up this book at a hair salon and immediately connected. I bought the book for my daughter who has very beautifuly curly hair. People all her life have told her so. So the book only confirmed what we had told her all her life.

'Flaking It' recipe--don't try this at home December 11, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a review of the 'Flaking It' recipe in Massey's Curly Girl. For anyone out there thinking of trying the 'Flaking It' recipe for "dry, flaking scalp", don't. That is, unless you want your hair to smell like vomit.

The recipe calls for massaging whipped heavy cream into the scalp. Not only does it create a total mess and is difficult to wash out of your hair (even after shampooing and conditioning), it makes your hair smell like vomit. I'm not kidding. I should have known better--there's a reason you don't let cream get warm, it goes rancid. When you apply heavy whipping cream to your scalp, it warms up.
