Hairlocking:Everything You Need To Know

If you are looking for help working your way through a new loc journey, (what to use, how to do it etc.) this book is not for you. If your doing research on the history of loc'd hair, with lots of personal convictions - this book is for you. If you have made the decision to loc your hair, you probably already have your own convictions - you don't need to buy them from a stranger. . I was so disappointed that with this book, I actually tossed it in the trash - something I almost never do.

If this is everything I need to know, it came up short. Missing was information about what to expect, how hair actually locks, the different types of locking substrates you can start with, the products to use at each stage of locking, the growth patterns one can expect, you know--"everything I needed to know about Hairlocking" LOL waste of my money.

Was looking for a book on keeping up with dreads this is not it. It talks more about who can and who can not wear dreads.

In this book, the author discusses the origins of locks, "dreadlocks vs locks", and the myths associated with locked hair. Excellent encouragement for people who have locks or anyone who is just thinking about it. This book encourages acceptance of African "coiled" hair, and shows that beauty does not only have to be Eurocentric. I agree with the author's statements that once African-Americans lock their hair, they "fall in love with it." To me, this means that a person with locked hair has accepted their natural hair and all of it's quirks and knows that beauty comes in all hair textures. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a "how-to" book.

I found this book to be very interesting. The author was the one who inspired me to lock my hair. I had to read the book twice. It was very , very informative. It was the best next to the book by Lonnice Bonner, "Nice Dreads: Hair Care Basics and Inspiration for Colored Girls Whov'e....... I just love this book. And, I can relate to the author. She's magnificent.

I like this book the picture are in black and white though, but all in all a good book for someone just beginning their journey or trying to get information on how to start growing locs.

This book was essential for my understanding of how to take care of my Locs. I would recommend this book to anyone, and the seller sent the book well above the scheduled time.

It had the information that I already knew. I plan on passing it along to a friend.

loved it. more men and women of African descent should invest in this book.
