Not for do it yourself naturals, 2008-06-01
I thought this book was a waste of money for the fact that it doesn't really teach you how to maintain anything. There are some minor things in there about self care, but mostly she is saying to see a stylist and buy these products. Yes major advertising in here. There is information on braids, and even relaxers(def not natural) I don't know I thought the title was very misleading.

LOVE YOUR NATURAL HAIR........AND THEN TEXTURIZE IT!!!, 2008-03-24
First of all, this is all my fault for buying a book before I read the reviews. This book was so unhelpful to me and I am returning it! I am kind of newly natural. I've been natural for a year this month. During my transitioning the previous year I kept my hair in braids or twists and now I am trying to find good sources that will teach me hair care and how to do styles myself so I will not be in the salon all the time! This was NOT the book to do that! All 194 pages were useless to me. I have to agree with others. The book was confusing. One minute she is saying love your natural hair...LOVE IT! Then she turns right around and says..."texturize it..." Another thing is I did not want to keep seeing celebrities with their hair done by her. I wanted to see regular people with their natural hair like me as far as that goes. And who is that Asian chick? The pictures suck in the so-called illustration sections where she's suppose to be guiding you through how to do certain styles. It was kinda hard to see because it was in black and white. Then when I went to the end of the book, all of a sudden....COLOR! The color pictures were just people with their hair done. Why not have colored pictures when you're walking someone through how to do a hairstyle? I also have to agree with Kara, the basic message was to know what hair is, what it's made of, to be proud of it, and to put it in the care of a trained professional. And again, if you are in school, working, and doing anything else that doesn't allow you time to get to the professional every single week, you need to learn how to manage your hair yourself, which is what my primary goal is. She pretty much tries to drive you in the direction opposite that. The products were expensive, not everyone can afford that. I was very disappointed at this book. One more person I have to agree with is S. Thompson, even if you buy this book for help; you are still on your own.

Awesome!, 2007-09-20
I bought "Textured Tresses" today and love it. There is a lot of celebrity name dropping but who cares. It is well written and provides product names, numerous illustrations, detailed how-to's and a salon directory. Also there is a section on picking the right stylist and salon that I found helpful. I bought "NO LYE!" Tuesday and returned it Wednesday. It was not nearly what I expected after all of the rave reviews. The illustrations were limited and the sections on twists was no help at all. Don't waste your money on "NO LYE!". No lie.
