"Beautiful Black Hair: Real Solutions to Real Problems" by Shamboosie

This is the book that actually jump-started my healthy hair journey. After reading this book, I tried to google Shamboosie to see if he had written any other books, and my google searches led me to this site....almost one year ago!!

Is this only available in e-book form?

 

[curlygirl8]

Yes, at this time it is an e-book. I did that because I know that most people what their books right away after they purchase it.

Cathy Howse's Ultra Black Hair II and Chicoro's Grow It!

 

[ricochet]

Cathy Howse was the 1st book I ever bought and it opened my eyes to the need for moisture, moisture and moisture. Lonnice Bonner's "Good Hair" and Wanakee's emotional and practical guides to hair are priceless.

Chicoro's Grow It! and Going-Natural. Both mentioned above. I started detangling before shampooing and sectioning my hair because of her, and she helped me be okay with using Aphogee as a preventive measure instead of only when breakage has gotten really bad (I don't know if that's what she uses, but she was talking about using deep protein treatments as a prevention).

Going Natural gave me style inspirations and recipes to use on the hair. I loved seeing all the different things that could be done with the hair.

I have read and liked Cathy Howse's book as well. For me though, it didn't speak to me as a natural like the other two did, but I do still go to it for perusing.

Chicoro's "Grow It!" This book is fantastic, and it led me to this site about 2 months ago. The writing is clear, the explanations logical, and the suggestions are extremely useful.
