If you answered yes to one or more questions, congratulations! You’re a curly girl waiting to happen. Your hair is bristle with movement, longing to break free, waves aching to curl, and frizz begging for direction.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The hair on your head is just as delicate and special as the hair on a pashmina goat. It is made up of millions of cells that absorb moisture, just like wool.

#2

The secret behind your hair’s appearance is the shampoo you use. They contain harsh detergents that strip your hair of its natural oils, making it look dry and lifeless.

#3

You don’t need to use shampoo. Instead, you should cleanse your hair and scalp with a sulfate-free cleanser or a botanical conditioner. You should also stop using detergent-laden shampoo and replace it with no-poo.

#4

The cuticle is the outermost layer of a hair fiber, and it’s made up of tiny scales that reflect light. When the scales are flat, they reflect light and your hair shines. When they're ruffled, your hair won't shine because light needs to be reflected off a smooth surface.

#5

The hair is a skin appendage made up of a protein called keratin that has a fiberlike consistency. Each hair follicle that produces the hair on our heads is also home to sebaceous (oil) glands, which release sebum, an oily substance that lubricates the hair.

#6

Curly and straight hair are genetically determined. A strand of straight hair looks like a toothpaste tube, while a strand of curly hair looks elliptical, with a slight curve in the middle.

#7

I have always had curly hair, and it has been a nightmare growing it out. I have spent thousands of dollars on hair products to try and make it look straight, but I have finally learned to love my curls.
