4/5⭐ I really liked the comprehensiveness of topics. Includes easy-to-understand info, methods, and recipes broken down by specific curly hair type that I plan to use.

You have to wade through an exhausting number of hair-related puns and “confession“ sections, which I ended up skipping. The year 2020 makes it very difficult for me to relate to a story about hair ruining a date when it went poofy in the rain as “traumatizing.“

A little behind here as I spent all day in one doctor's waiting room or another. ( I'm OK.) My pick for @RealLifeReading 's #anditsaugust day 4 #hairthereandeverywhere is this stellar book by Lorraine Massey. Having naturally curly hair, it can be extremely difficult to care for properly. This book helped me learn to accept and even love my hair, even when I wake up in the morning looking like an anime character gone wrong.

susanw I have this one too! Me and my two girls have accepted our curls. We go through a ton of gel in this house! 7y
Bookwitchery @susanw gel and mousse! Once when my daughter was little she woke up with a large blister in her forehead. We never found a cause, and it healed up fine. My MIL asked me if I'd accidentally burned her with a curdling iron. My response: Do I look like I even OWN a curling iron? 7y
