In a handy, pocketbook-sized paperback; hairstylists and hair care and styling educators (www.curlninjamethod.online) Stephanie (@Steph.Mero) and Dennis (@Dennis.Mero) give you their simple, scientific and straightforward approach to hair care, products, and styling. You will learn the truth behind common hair myths, how to correctly identify the needs of your hair, how to transition damaged hair and maintain healthy hair, tips for haircuts and hair growth, a scientific approach to choosing products and ingredients, styling techniques, tips from other professionals that work with textured hair, how to build your own simple styling methods, and more. Whether you have wavy hair, curly hair, coils or any other texture of your own, are a parent or guardian of someone with hair you wish to better understand, or are a stylist looking to gain additional knowledge to better serve your clients, this book will teach you what you need to know to simplify and solidify your understanding of hair care and amplify your ability to create different styles with minimal effort.

Good basics for starting to love your curly hair.

This book has a lot of good take a ways.

Hair basics
Definitions that will help you discuss your hair with professionals
How to figure out what type of hair you have
Basic do and don’ts for getting the best results with your hairstyle.

There are no products recommendations. Just types of products to look for and what they will do for you.

I really appreciated the honesty and helpful guidance at the end for self esteem tips. It makes you came away from the book with an ego boost and a better perspective.

Thank you Curl Ninjas for your professional viewpoint and expertise.

This kindle edition also has helpful links.

So this book won’t be winning any awards for writing but if you’re on any stage of your curly hair journey this is the enlightenment you’ve been craving. The way this novel is organized is top notch with science, quotes, and techniques all broken down into bite sized topics. The authors have managed to take an overwhelming topic and made it digestible. I’ll be recommending this to all my curl friends.

A Must Read for any who has a "love/hate relationship" with their hair!

Curly or wavy or straight - this book is for anyone who thinks they have more bad hair days than good. Introduces you to healthy hair tips, positive self-image, the dangers of obsessing over influencer hair and more. Thank you, Stephanie for helping me on my hair journey with this book!

I already knew all of the information provided in this book. It's a regurgitation of what has already been shared, for free, by many other haircare professionals. It is irritating that you cannot receive a refund for a useless publication.
