I’d figured out some of those techniques and they worked well in the desert of Arizona. However, moves to Santa Cruz, CA and Seattle, WA left me desperate—the wind, humidity and little sun left my hair a frizzy mess. Without all of the right techniques, it was more poof than toss. In Seattle, I began locking my hair which put me back in touch with the love of my hair and gave me the means to get some length. But I did give up the volume and more defined curls in the process. Every now and again, I dream of combing out my locks (very doable with enough time) and bringing my curls back. If I do, you best believe your book will be the one I have on my nightstand. In the meantime, I’ll use the tips I can (my mature, slightly longer than shoulder length locs are still frizzy sometimes) and continue to sing your praises.<br />A Desert PrincessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836685820521753187.post-35447094189198438442010-06-19T14:07:48.373-07:002010-06-19T14:07:48.373-07:00I ran across your book in the library, and I have ...I ran across your book in the library, and I have to say, it's really amazing.

Your hair sounds a lot like mine - soft thinner bigger curls on the sides and back and tighter curls in the middle top. I've spent years trying to change my hair, because as a mixed girl if your hair is not like "theirs" or "theirs" then no one is sure what to do with it, how to treat it. So i've spent years trying to make it look like "theirs". I'm 24 now, and flat irons, chemical straighteners, etc have KILLED my hair. It's broken out so badly. <br /><br />Your curls are BEAUTIFUL! i want them! So for the past two weeks i have been treating my hair right, and following the rules on your site and its working already. i still have the dead chemically relaxed ends but about 2 inches worth of MY hair. My spirals. They are so nice i just feel them all day long. I can't wait for it to grow and the dead chemical hair be all gone, and it to get long enough to wear down. <br /><br />Your book is my hair's bible. thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836685820521753187.post-77401466865523038252010-06-12T15:34:10.792-07:002010-06-12T15:34:10.792-07:00Quick question, Teri.

I am living in Germany and unfortunately there only a small number of information about tightly curly hair in German language.

Your technique works wonders to my son's hair.<br /><br />I am so happy for you that your dream about this book came true!<br /><br />Blessings <br /><br />RomyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836685820521753187.post-37775167367257128872010-05-21T15:04:14.970-07:002010-05-21T15:04:14.970-07:00Hi Teri!
I have been following the plan that you ...Hi Teri!<br /><br />I have been following the plan that you advised me. Because I exercise every day, I rinse my twists with water and then apply conditioner. However, I feel that my hair is always wet. After I rinse it, I leave my twists out in the open for them to dry. They are usually dry before I hit the bed. But I didn't know if always rinsing my hair with water would cause bacteria or mold to set in my hair. Do you think I should be concerned? If so, what should I do? I was thinking of maybe buying aloe vera juice and mixing in with the conditioner when I apply it. It has been said that it keeps bacteria from setting on the scalp. But if you feel it is not needed, then I won't waste my money buying it? What do you think!!!?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12714111421354268347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836685820521753187.post-53429770476420901922010-05-21T11:47:10.503-07:002010-05-21T11:47:10.503-07:00Love your site, I am thinking of going natural, i ...Love your site, I am thinking of going natural, i find myself enjoying my haircare in the inbetween state and the demarcation point of my hair has stayed intact. <br />Going from 6wks to 10wks stretch is amazing which is a testimony to my haircare.

Your book just arrived from amazon,...Hi again Teri,<br />Your book just arrived from amazon, so I've been looking through it, yea! I noticed that the Pantene I've been using isn't listed, so I checked the site and sure enough they'd changed their ingredients. Well, I stockpile when I find good deals, so I looked through what I had and looked at them at the store today, they have apparently changed ingredients yet a second time. The current bottle says "NEW Fragrance" at the top and does not have sodium chloride anymore. Unfortunately, most of my bottles do, but I will donate them to charity, and I don't know if the newest ones are any good to use either. Anyway, long story short, thought you'd want to know about it. For now, I'm trying out some of your other suggested products, which is way more fun than using the same ole boring stuff anyway. I will definitely post again about your book after I finish reading it, Best Wishes!Mamabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419005184437572706noreply@blogger.com
