  i’ve been natural alsmot 10 years but about 6 years in there i had locs. i wish i’d had this book when i first went natural. chicoro does an excellent job of dispelling a widely held myth that black hair can’t grow long!! of course i had long hair when my hair was loc’d but even i thought it seemed impossible for my hair to get long in its loose state. the book lays out a well thought out plan that, if followed, will help you retain your hair. this is the key since breakage is the biggest enemy to longer lengths. no this book doesn’t present any rocket science but it did help me reconsider/rethink some things. namely for me the concept of detangling with my fingers on dry hair and only wetting the hair with water, conditioner or oil if needed to further detangle. i always thought i had to have my hair sopping wet with conditioner while standing in the shower when detangling. this often lead to utter frustration and no doubt some breakage. the dry detangling before cleansing takes a while (the first time) but i did feel like i had more control of getting tangles out of my hair and loss less hair. the rest of the topics were things that were a good reminders and some new tidbits of information i’d learned along the way from experience or the internet or other natural haircare books. i would highly recommend this book especially for someone who is newly natural but even veterans can get something out of this. for the price it’s totally worth it to help you grow your hair. as someone else commented there are no pictures or diagrams in the book but that didn’t bother me one bit because you can find a plethora of natural hair pics online and chicoro does have her blog for all to see. i have several pages marked for reference. good job chicoro!
