Good Buy:
I wish this book had a little more information pertaining to loc maintenance. Other than that, it was a good buy.
a good book on locs:
This was a good book that teaches you about locs and caring for them so that they will be clean as well as healthy looking.
Not just for beginners:
The book is excellent for people who are thinking about locks or who have had locks for years. I have had locks for four years now and I still learned a lot about maintenance and care of my hair. The pictures of the women helped too. One question: Where is the book for the brothers? As a man some things were universal (e.g. - my hair gets in my wife's face when we are having a "love connection"), but some things were just for women (e.g. - wearing different colored scarfs). Thanks for the advice!
A great lesson in loc maintenance:
I'm so glad I read this book before I loc'd my hair! I assumed that locs would be so easy to maintain...I was wrong. If you want "nice dreads" there is considerable maintenance and care required. I now understand why some locs look beautiful, and others not so much. It is a really quick, easy read. If you are wondering what it takes to care for locs, I suggest getting this book.
