Ratings and reviews

I suppose it's a starting point for the curly girl method but it is very brief. If you want more in depth knowledge, join one of the many Facebook groups. I felt like it was more about trying to get you to accept your curls than anything. I wish she would talk more about the ingredients, offer product recommendations for different hair types at all different price points. I also wish she talked about hair porosity, density and what those mean for curly girls.

There were no videos embedded in the book, and it was supposed to come with them. Other than that i really enjoyed reading this. I am disappointed about the videos and will give a lower score due to this.

I recently purchased this ebook and I am really enjoying it. It truly is educational. The description mentioned that a DVD was included with tbe book. Obviously, there would not be a DVD with an ebook, but I expected to at least see a link to a video in lieu of a DVD. Please provide a video link to the contents of the DVD, which I would have received if I had purchased a paper book instead of an ebook! Please!!!!
