The Book of Natural Hair Questions and Answers from a Stylist's
Perspective hits upon the key questions many natural hair
individuals have about their mane. The questions and answers range
from 100 percent natural, styling tools and aids, (dread)locks,
general questions and much more. This book is not your average
reference book. It is based on facts about hair, and the experience
of a licensed cosmetologist with over 15 years of natural hair
styling expertise. Regardless of your hair texture and gender, this
book is for you. You will find The Book of Natural Hair Questions
and Answers from a Stylist's Perspective easy to comprehend, and a
wonderful addition in your reading reference collection. Example of
questions: Can I use sunscreen in my natural tress? Are styling
options limited when transitioning? What is fools hair? Are two
separate shampoos necessary when shampooing transitioning hair?
Will doubling my locks be harmful? What is hard and soft water? Why
are preservatives used in products? Are homemade hair products safe
to use? What is curl reforming? These questions were generated from
years of consultations Y.L. Hernandez had with single fathers
raising daughters, women who went natural more than once due to
misinformation about hair and your overall curious individuals. You
will find The Book of Natural Hair Questions and Answers from a
Stylist Perspective gets to the point in a question and answer
format, does not promote products that will sit in home, and will
have you THINK and CONCLUDE the choices that are right for your
everyday living.
Charla Muller's first book, "365 Nights," was called "entertaining"
("Albuquerque Journal"), "surprising and] remarkable" ("The
Independent" London]). It also launched her into the public
eye--and brought her to a moment of painful realization . . .
For an average working mom like Charla, going on a book tour was
both intimidating and exciting. It also turned out to be
horrifying: When she saw herself on a screen in glorious,
unforgiving HD, it magnified all her flaws, prompted comments from
unadoring fans, and forced her to reevluate her (lack of) exercise
regimen.
But Charla was jolted into action and used that cringe-inducing
close-up as a wakeup call. After shedding a few tears over how
she'd let herself go (and over the five-year-old discount sweater
she wore on "Oprah"), she set out on a strange, hilarious, and
poignant journey that tapped into and tested her values, her
beliefs about beauty, her self-image, and, of course, her
relationship with her mother.
In this lively, funny, moving account, a Southern woman shares
stories she swore she'd never tell--and ultimately offers some
unexpected and universal insight about how pretty takes practice.
