Nappturosity: How to Create Fabulous Natural Hair and Locs - The Book

Deciding to transition to natural hair is not always an easy one for everyone. If you’ve been straightening your hair for years, even decades - the uncertainty can sometimes be overwhelming. Often times our uncertainty stems from being unsure of whether we will be able to care for our naturally curly hair texture. We may also sometimes question how we will look with our natural hair. Most of the time we have no idea what our hair texture really looks like, since we have had straight hair since childhood.

Many of our mothers looked for easier options and relaxing our hair was believed by many, to be the only option to manage our hair. And for those of us whose hair remained natural, in the past the product selection was so limited, which made it difficult to manage our hair. But as many of us became older, we decided to make new choices. Whether it was out of frustration or curiosity, many of us made the final decision that going natural was the best choice for us.

More Women Are Taking the Natural Leap:

The demand for natural hair and how to care for it have made many in the natural hair care industry aware of this need. New books have emerged like this one called Nappturosity: How to Create Fabulous Natural Hair and Locs by Erin Shell Anthony.

Is this book another natural hair book that regurgitates the same old information on the history of black hair? Nope! Far from it. If I could give you an honest review of this book, I’d say it’s a must-have book for anyone considering transitioning or even for someone who has already decided to discontinue chemically straightening their hair.

The Nappturosity natural hair book is almost like having a personal coach assisting you on what to expect during your journey. Going natural can sometimes be an emotional roller-coaster. Temptation often sets in if we have a bad hair day.

The thoughts of straightening our curly hair creep in our minds as we sometimes battle with caring for our curls. If we were never really taught how to care and manage our curls, often times it’s a learning process that can take years! Searching for new products to work on our unique hair type takes time. It always involves trial and error.

Well, I have to say that in her writing of this book, Erin Shell Anthony has over delivered. She clearly explains which products to use; she provides constant encouragement and support. But also, she gives you a ton of styling options for various natural hair styles. The photo gallery and how-to tutorials in the book are phenomenal!

Nappturosity natural hair book is definitely a keeper! The best part about the book is that the styles and pictures are not outdated like some other natural hair books. But what I like best is that I didn’t have to wait to receive the book since I could instantly purchase a copy and download it within about a minute.

Anthony should be commended on writing such a professional and thorough book. Her selection of natural hair recipes and how they work on particular hair types is genius! I don’t want to give too much away because I don’t want to ruin the integrity of the book. The only drawback I could find is that the book wasn’t written sooner as it would have saved me hundreds of dollars of wasted time searching for information on caring for my naturally curly hair as well as wasting money on products that promised me the world but failed to deliver.

Often times a book is written that you find so good you want to pass it on and share it with your friends. Honestly, you don’t want to part with this book. There is so much useful information that will help you care for your natural hair, that you’ll be reaching for this book on a daily basis. It should be called the Natural Hair Bible.

Erin Shell Anthony... You’re genius!
