Book Reviews of Curl Talk: Everything You Need to Know to Love and Care for Your Curly, Kinky, Wavy, or Frizzy Hair

Book Review: Great book to regain control of your hair!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have wavy, frizzy, wild & crazy hair. No joke, my sunglasses get stuck in them. I have no time or patience (and 2 left hands), so my hair was always weighted down or left frizzy.

I first saw Ouidad on the E! Channel with Linda Lopez (J.Lo's sis) and thought, if only I lived in NY I would have a place to go. Then, weeks later, I saw her again on The Early Show, promoting her new book. Even though I am a born skeptic, I got the book (hey, I saw her on 2 national TV shows in a month, she must know what she is doing). I tried other books about hair care and curly hair, and they never help and I end up frustrated that I listened to the reviewer in the first place. But this book has really helped me. Reading about what ingredients to look for in hair products and which to avoid alone was worth it to me. It shows you how to care for your hair from washing and drying, styling and blowing straight, how to pick a stylist, and tells you the truth about the myths of curly hair.

I don't have skills concerning my hair, but I am getting the hang of it since reading CURL TALK. And if I can get soft, bouncy curls on my own, then so can everyone else!

Summary of Curl Talk: Everything You Need to Know to Love and Care for Your Curly, Kinky, Wavy, or Frizzy Hair

At loose ends with your locks? Let the ?Queen of Curl? show you how to bring out the best in your hair.

The lengths that women go to in order to tame their curls! If you?ve been blessed with curly hair, chances are that you?ve thought of it as a curse, complaining, ?It?s uncontrollable!? ?It?s a mess!? or ?It?s so frizzy and
tangly!? Out of frustration, you may have mistakenly resorted to methods (straighteners, irons, blow-dryers) that only cause more damage to your hair. Now renowned New York City stylist Ouidad sets the record straight on curly hair and shows you how to start loving the waves, kinks, and curls you were born with. In Curl Talk, Ouidad reveals the secrets to bringing out your natural beauty, including:
* Finding the right cut
* How often to shampoo (and why you never wrap your wet hair in a towel)
* Why brushes and mousses should be outlawed
* The best conditioning and styling treatments
* Blow-drying, coloring, and straightening the safe way

Based on Ouidad?s experience catering solely to curly-haired clients at her exclusive Manhattan salon, Curl Talk is a straight-talking guide for your daily struggle with the frizzies, offering simple, step-by-step solutions for getting a gorgeous head of curls. It will revolutionize the way you treat your hair.
