Disappointed! Hmmph!

Yesterday I received my copy of Textured Tresses and I must say that I am terribly disappointed.  I was expecting some great in depth information regarding natural hair care and styling.  Instead, I feel that the book provides very surface level information and definitely nothing earth shattering.  I'm sure the author is very well versed when it comes to natural hair, but the book did not put forth the knowledge I was hoping to gain.

Hmmph!

One of my natural friends suggested Good Hair: For Colored Girls Who've Considered Weaves When the Chemicals Became Too Ruff so that is next on my list of must reads.

So on to the next book!

"Textured Tresses" by Diane Da Costa

As many of you know, I have really become intrigued by my natural hair and hair care in general and I think that I am going to start doing more research. I decided to order the book Textured Tresses by Diane Da Costa - a celebrity stylist. I just stumbled across a Q & A she participated in on the Black Voices website back in 2007 and I can tell that she definitely knows her stuff. She also recommended the following books:

NO LYE by Tulani Kinard
Good Hair by Lonnice Brittenum Bonner
Kinky Kreations by Jena Renee Williams


Has anyone read these books?

I'll be sure to post about any new discoveries I read about in her book. Hopefully I'll have it in a couple of days.
