For those Sistas that would like to purchase this book at a reasonable rate, just search T'Keyah Crystal Keymah, Inc. which will take you to her website. The book cost $17.00 for an imperfect copy or $20.00 for a new copy. Great Book !!!

When I learned that T'Keyah Keymah self-published a book on natural haircare I was intrigued. I think she's a beautiful and talented woman and have admired her personal style since her days on "In Living Color."
Having been disappointed by some of the books out now on natural haircare, I was a little hesitant to pay $20+ for the book sight unseen. Luckily, I managed to find a copy at my local library.
Kemah's book is only about 102 pages but it's about as close to perfect as a natural hairstyling book can be. She doesn't waste much time rehashing to same old information about basic care (shampooing/conditioning/ect) that makes most books of this type redundant. Instead she focuses mainly on hairstyles.
There are more than 35 featured here and while some are are pretty basic (medium afro and two-strand twists for example) she also highlights other popular styles like cornrowing, flat twists, and updos for locked styles.
Each style is featured in a beautiful full-color photograph with several black & white photos on the opposite page showing the styling technique.
It also contains a few styles specifically for children, which would be quite helpful to parents of black or biracial kids who aren't use to styling naturally coily/curly hair.
T'Keyah also uses some familiar faces for her models. I was pleasantly surprised to see actors TC Carson, Phil Lamar, and recording artist Pru Renfro modelling some of the styles.
Natural Woman/Natural Hair really does a great job showcasing the versatility of textured hair. I will definitely purchase a copy of this book after reviewing it. Like "No Lye," I'm sure I'll refer to this one again and again.

Since my debut on "In Living Color," people have been asking how I style my hair. Back then, there were no books on the subject, so I began working on one. It took a while but this is the result of that work. I included a fair sampling of hair types, textures, lengths and conditions, left out what other authors covered well and focused both on the beauty of natural hair and the detail of achieving each style represented. Using poetry and prose, I addressed the psychological aspects of preferring to wear one's hair in an unnatural state, and the bravery it sometimes takes in this society to change that habit, if one chooses to do so. It does not admonish those who wear their hair unnaturally, but is meant to be a healing celebration of each person's unique and natural beauty... I would have given myself five stars, but I know where the typos are. :) I am shocked to find people selling copies for $80 when autographed copies are available from my website at the published price (but alas, all is fair in love and commerce). BTW, my name is T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh and I am the author of Natural Woman / Natural Hair: A Hair Journey.
