Curly Girl

So many great informations which I can use (THE RECIPES, THANK YOU), but some of the things really irked me. First, hating and forbidding clarifying shampoos in generall, which is nonsense, you can't fight hard water and build-up with conditioner and low-poo, second not explaining the porosity which is literally hell when you're trying to figure out the right product and your washing routine and third not explaing moisture-protein balance, which is crucial for curly hair and I dare say even for curly girl method.

Most importantly, there's the attitude.

There's one story about a woman who was very upset with her hair at the funeral of her father. More so, the author talks about loss of hair at the chemo as the most important thing that's going to happen when you have a cancer. No, it's not, you will be constantly sick and the hair will be the last thing you will cry about. Plus what's wrong with those people claiming curly people (girls, women) who embrace their curls are more spontaneous and successful in their life? Like, hell yes, it's awesome when you understand your hair and manage to taim it, but it's not your whole life, for god's sake.

Otherwise, thank you for this handbook, I can imagine lots of curly people would appreciate it, maybe even most of them (I won't claim that every curly person would, since I don't believe this unlike the author) and as for me, I got some useful advice I was looking for, I can understand now why curly society claims it's better to read this and then start searching things on the internet.
