yay, a giveaway!
My favorite book is no lye by Tulani Kincard. It is the first book on natural haircare I've ever read and that convinced me that I did the right thing by going natural because she said, if you have a relaxer and your stylist tells you that it's healthy. She's lying! It will never be healthy because relaxer, dryness and breakage go together and form a vicious cycle.

Since then,I've read several books and really enjoy Falling in love with your nappy hair as well as Dreads

Those bookmarks are wonderful :o)

Okay, one of my favorite books is Tenderheaded by Juliette Harris, Pamela Johnson.
http://www.amazon.com/Tenderheaded-Comb-Bending-Collection-Hair-Stories/dp/0671047566

It's a book filled with stories and pictures about natural hair - from why people cover their hair to tetimonies about wearing natural hair. It also has entries from the famous like Toni Morrison and Henry Louis Gates Jr., as well as everyday people.

I even love the cover it reminds me of back in the day when I used to sit in my grandmother's kitchen getting my hair hot combed :o) I also had the opportunity to meet the authors and get my copy signed.

My fav would have to be the first book I read, Hair Rules! by A. Dickey. Loved that it had info on everything from relaxing to shampooing/conditioning to weaves. The book is mainly about being natural but it also had tips for those that have relaxed hair. Loved the illustrations and the q&a after each chapter. I would def recommend to people who are thinking about going natural, transitioning, currently natural, and people who relax their hair.

Great read!

I am still transitioning, and thats what I find myself doing is RESEARCH. A book I would like to read is Going Natural: How to fall in love with nappy hair by Mirelle Liong-A-Kong. Thanks for the giveaway. :D Blessings.

NappyIntentions: You got it right. Transitioning is the perfect time to research research research so when yo finally BC, you have a better idea where to start.

Just from the title it sounds like an awesome book. Thanks for sharing/entering and happy transitioning!
I read a book from a natural sista, Benilde Little, entitled "Good Hair"...hmmm, wonder what sparked that title?? LOL. But it is about everything except the obvious...it's about LOVE. Awww.

I would like to read "I Love My Hair!" by Natasha Anastasia Tarpley to my daughter. She has thick curly/kinky hair and often gets discouraged because she wants her hair to be straight. I think this book can be a tool to help her appreciate her beautiful hair.
