Book description
The simple secrets to growing your curls healthy and long.
Tightly curly hair isn't like any other type of hair, and it needs
totally different care to make it happy.
Do you spend countless hours-and untold dollars-on weaves, perms,
salon visits, and products that promise to change, heal, or make your
hair more manageable, only to end up even more frustrated? Do you
wrestle daily with hair you can't get a brush through? Do you struggle
to keep from hurting your child when you comb through her tight curls?

for you. It gives you the information and techniques you need to
celebrate-not fight against-your very curly hair. You will learn how
not only to care for your curls, but to cherish them, all the while
saving time, effort, and money.

her curls happy. Not wanting anyone else to go through with their hair
what she did with hers inspired Teri to create the popular Web site
TightlyCurly. com and to write Curly Like Me.
Teri LaFlesh spent much of her life fighting with
her short, crunchy hair, once even accidentally dissolving it with a
