Just an alert from good ol’ Elle! Chicoro has a new book out about how to choose your….PRODUCTS! It’s called Hair Products 101: A 4-Step Process to Empower You to Select the Best Products for Your Hair, and is based on a four step selection process:
1. Have a basic understanding of the science of hair.
2. Understand your hair goals and challenges.
3. Understand product formulation.
4. Put it all together.
I haven’t read it, but I wanted to send along the information. This may be a very helpful resource for newbies who are overwhelmed by the plethora of natural hair products out now.
Check it out at Barnes and Noble.
I don’t get it either, Elle. I wrote the first two anon comments asking about the book. Not sure what the second anon was saying. Scratching my head. Maybe he/she can translate. Thx for the advice on the book.
LMAO! Yea I’m confused!
Ahh, I was hoping you would. I was really interesed in *your* opinion (thumbs up or thumbs down) on it. 😦 You’re my hair girl. Oh well.
Sorry! I will say this about it – it’s a comprehensive book if you’re willing to do a deep dive into hair care. If you have a short attention span, and want it laid out quickly for you…don’t bother.
You KNOW you have me roll-in (my Smokey voice)!!!!!
What you say? If you aint a chemist…don’t trip! LOL
I don’t get it?
Are you going to review that other book everyone is talking about? The Science of Black Hair?
Nope.
Thanks sis! I just posted this link on facebook. Good info!
Hi Elle! Thank you for posting this because I really like Chicoro’s information about hair and what steps to take to help properly treat it. BGLH has her other book for $15 I believe. I do not have this one and plan to buy both. Is that her with the beautiful hair swinging on the cover? I am subscribed to her newsletter as well after your last post about Chicoro. It is good to have resource books on hand IMO if you starting new, in the middle of your hair journey, or contemplating to transition from relaxed to natural vice versa. We all need to know our hair. I am always trying to figure mines out. Btw how is Izzy? I see she is all comfy in a bun on top. 😉
LOL, you are ON it! I’m subscribed to Chicoro’s newsletter thing and I get fairly regular emails from her. I had just received the message about her new book and then I got an email update from your blog right after. Haha!
I’m not exactly a newbie, but I am sooo buying the book.
Yep, I get her newsletter too and I was like ooooooh! I hope they get it in the store soon. I don’t really need help finding products, lol, but I like checking out her stuff.
Haha! Speaking of not needing help finding products… I just looked to the side of your blog and saw your FB status mention SheScentIt… I did *not* need to see that. I’ve been going back and forth about whether or not I want to try her stuff. Darn it!
