Reader Reviews
Black women go through various methods of curling, combing, perming, and styling their hair in order to get the right "do" to represent their style and personality. Though geared to those wanting to go natural, this book is an excellent resource for those wanting to know the basics of haircare and key information on growing, grooming, and taking care of healthy hair. It covers areas such as what causes hair breakage, the different types of hair products, and how to transition from chemically processed hair to natural styles. Most importantly, Mirielle Liong-A-Kong showcases the joy and benefits of going the natural hair route and leads the reader through the necessary steps for reaching his or her goals. Though there are some editorial flaws throughout GOING NATURAL and some portions are a bit repetitive, it does not distract from the message. While I may not have fully decided to go natural, the book has definitely given me a lot to think about regarding how I tend to my own hair. GOING NATURAL is an excellent resource for those contemplating the move to natural hair as it provides step-by-step procedures, illustrations, and other tools and resources. It's also a teaching aid for those who want to know how to care for and maintain their own styles. It teaches the importance of debunking the myth that natural hair can't be beautiful and easy to maintain, and also celebrates individual beauty. I thoroughly enjoyed this educational read and hope to share it with family, friends, and my hairstylist. (RAW Rating: 4.5) Reviewed by Tee C. Royal of The RAWSISTAZ™ Reviewers
