I have sinned!
Forgive me, Carrie. And to my curly brethern out there. To those who don't understand, you may think this is a superflous post. BUT it is not. It is not vain. It is not superficial. This is a testimony of the deepest regard for all those people namely those women who had traumatic experiences with their locks as children. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN! And I was reminded two days ago that I withheld vital information from my sister in curlhood. I have committed a grievous sin...I have not shared with the circle. I am sorry and can only ask for forgiveness.
Weeks ago I was introduced to a book that holds some insightful tips in regards to how to care for curly hair. I didn't share with Carrie because...well, honestly....Carrie has the most beautiful curly hair. She has been best friend for ages and she has a routine that helps her hair shine. AND SHINE IT DOES! So, I erroneously thought she didn't need to benefit from this book. AHA!!! Not again. I won't do that again. ALWAYS SHARE, FOLKS!!!
Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey. It's a good book. It took years to fall in love with my hair. I'm not going into a post right now about my traumas because well, it goes back to the Keeper and other family members and I just don't want to talk about them right now. Let's just say that I've grown to love my hair. It took growing well into my twenties but I did it. And this book has only supplemented what I've learned. It's good. I promise. It's going to dispel some things about curly hair and make you throw away some long held beliefs. IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT but it's worth it.
Long Before I found this book, I had already started doing some of the things in it...LIKE DON'T WASH YOUR HAIR EVERY DAY!!!! But I'm serious when I say there are some great things in it. So enjoy...
AND I hope this serves as a mea culpa. SO SORRY!!!
Sami is right, the new look is fabulous. And thank you for sharing with all of our curly-haired sisters. Curlfriends of the world, UNITE!! Do not suppress your curls, free them.

Thank you, Sami. Was going to change the name also but I was having problems with importing all the posts and such. And I didn't want to take the long scenic route and do each one manually. I'm too impatient at times.
