“Nappturosity” Book Review

Erin Shell Anthony’s, “Nappturosity: How to Create Fabulous Natural Hair and Locs” was a pleasure to read.  The informational is directed toward those who “just want to know how to cycle through the process of managing, developing, and styling natural hair.”  This way, an audience of relaxed, natural, and transitioning heads can be reached.  Be forewarned, the book is lengthy, containing 19 chapters, so brace yourselves if you are not fond of reading.

In Summary:

• I found the “Nappturous Diva Principles” that are introduced in the novel to reward a sense of empowerment to us all!
• It definitely invites us in and preps us for the knowledge and journey that we will receive in the pages thereafter!
• I can particularly identify with the hair emancipation that is relinquished through the going natural process; the book gets you to focus on planning and acting on that plan to achieve fabulous natural hair!
• Concentrates on “sisterlocks” and the associated trademarked products for the ladies/gents interested in locs.
• Goes a bit more in depth with terms that are found in the forums…pre-pooing, co-washing (termed “no-pooing” in the book), pH, and other general info for hair care.
• I appreciate the whole foods section (in the How to Grow Strong, Healthy Hair chapter) where Nappturous Diva gives out the recipe to her Wheat Grass Smoothie…I’m going to be trying it ASAP!
• A Great Product section (all the PJs out there will like it) allowing you to get a great idea of where to start out with good products.
• “In-house expert” features are a treat, as you get to take a peek into the lives of hair gurus who are natural just like me and you!
• Sums the book up with a nationwide Natural Salon Listing/Locator for us!

Things To Look Out For:

• I had mine in e-book form and you may only access it while connected to the internet, the paperback version is best.
• It could use a bit of an update as far as the useful products, (Brendita’s Body Works, among many others, are proven to be excellent for naturals — I’m gonna be trying them soon girl, esp with that wonderful sale that’s going on til Wednesday!).
• In the hair styles section, I would love to see a bit more of an expansion into more choices of styles, as there were a few more Loc options, but not as much of an elaboration on styles such as Braid Outs and Bantu Knot Outs.

Overall, I found the book informational and helpful.  It’s a pretty good read, however, I don’t know if it’s worth the price – $20+ (I’m not hating on you though Nappturous Diva, make that Money); it is a recession now!  With the wealth of info that’s available on forums nowadays, I think we natural divas can manage without the read.  Since reading the book I haven’t changed anything in my regime (which I created from my knowledge on bhp), but for the select few of us who have money out there (I’m in the broke majority), it wouldn’t hurt to look into Nappturosity for motivation and support as a guide to fabulous natural hair!

Until Next Time, Happy Healthy Hair Growing!!!
