Disappointing,
Von Martha (New York, NY United States) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: No Lye (Taschenbuch)
Warning! Don't buy this book unless you have or want braids or dreads. It's named No Lye, but that's a lie in itself. The subtitle is a far cry from what the contents actually deal with. It in no way gives advice for "natural hair care" (in its TRUE form). The author's bias to dreadlocks are blatantly evident, since they are so extensively explored and photograhped (hers and her dauighter's included). In dealing with braids, she painstakenly explains how to do 2 stranded twists, apply beads, and finishing off extensions by either burning the tips or dipping them into hot water. Give me a break already! Braids have been popular long enough for every black woman to be familiar with these BASIC techniques. She could've used that space up to tell us something we didn't already know or couldn't already figure out.Also, there is about 1 picture of a woman with "loose" kinky hair (and that was a close-cropped fade). The author NEVER gives advice about how to style long kinky hair and protectit from the elements, etc., when you're sick of braids and simply don't want to loc. She never even shows pictureS of loose hair to give ideas to inspired women. Ironically, most of the Afrocentric hairdos photographed resemble Eurocentric hair, long and floppy, not puffed and coiled. I tried the "great" banana conditioner she prescribes, and in short, it was an absolute nightmare to wash out. I would've been better off rubbing globs of Ultra-Sheen into my scalp. Also, the type of shampoo she recommended for "my" hair type dried it to the bone. Now I'll NEED to wear braids to give my poor hair a rest, so maybe that was her plan all along. I was just fine before all of this by using Cream Of Nature shampoo (for dry hair) and a simple vinegar rinse follow-up. I encourage black women with natural hair to try a basic regimine like this one, letting the hair air-dry. Moisturize, but not with anything petroletum or mineral oil based. It'll be so shiny, soft, and springy. I regret buying this book. I ordered Pamela Ferrell's book, too, and hope it hits closer to home.

Back to my Roots,
Von Charlotte Jones (Charlotte, N.C) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: No Lye (Taschenbuch)
I purchased Tulani Kinard's book about a year ago, and I found it not only inspirational, but very informative. My hair has been natural for about a year and a half, and I love it. I didn't realize all the damage i was doing to my hair with the chemicals. The relaxing wasn't doing anything for my hair. It would seem to be growing, and then it would start breaking off again. My hair is now more manageable,and it feels great. Thank you Tulani!

Great Pics and Good Infomation,
Von Minnesota Raven "Viking Vixen" (Minnesota) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: No Lye (Taschenbuch)
Tulani has done an excellent job of putting together the much needed info for caring for natural, chemical free, hair. Why there are so few books on the subject is a mystery to me given the health ramifications involved with continuously using caustic chemicals on ones scalp. But, the need to "fit in" is greater than the need for a healthy life. Well I am finally brave enough and secure in my own heart to know that whatever God gave me is what I have and if it sticks straight up then it sticks straight up. I use this book as a reference guide along with Pamela Ferrell and Lonnice Bonner's books. It helps to re-read some of the sections when you are staring in the mirror with a head full of nappy hair and thinking why oh why don't I just get a perm. Whenever I feel the urge to take that road I read one of my reference guides. Not only for the how to info but the moral support as well. My hair is now 6 to 7 inches and growing like crazy. In other words it quit breaking off and I think that the longer it gets the easier it will be to manage. I look forward to the day I can easily wear buns and do single braids. This isn't far off but until this time I will deal with the twisting and braiding while I wait for a few more inches to grow.
