    After two poor experiences with this seller, they exceeded my expectations with this order…hard to believe it was the same seller. The book purchased, identified in their listing as “Very Good”, was, in fact, “Like New”. The price was very fair. Shipping was slow, but that seems to be true with many things purchased in the internet. If I have a complaint, it is that the seller will not respond to specific questions about a listed item before the purchase..too many orders to do so! 🙁

    You can’t always be sure when an item is listed “like new” but this seller delivered a book that is just that. I’m very pleased with the condition of the book and the pricing was excellent compared to other sellers online. It was packaged extremely well and arrived with no wrinkles or folded areas. I made a great purchase and I now look forward to purchasing additional items by this author from this seller. 10/10 satisfaction!

    Great seller. Book arrived within a reasonable time frame and was packaged in a protective wrapping. The condition of the book was "Very Good," as was described and includes a "Very Good" dust jacket with award stickers. Great value, extremely fair price. I'm always happy to do business with this trusted seller.

    Curly Girls, Unite!

    Amazing book about how to take care of curly hair. Super curly or just lovely wavy, it's all in here. I constantly receive compliments on my hair since beginning this method 8 years ago. Truly, it is a wonderful reference for those with this type of hair, or for parents of children with curly hair. One caveat - there are a couple of testimonials that refer to adult situations (a lover, or an affair, something like that) that I wouldn't want my tween to read, so if you are a parent, read the book first and make your own decision. Aside from that, it's all good!

    From dry and frizzy to curly girl

    My hair was so dry and frizzy. I have some gray hair on the top that I call my skunk patch and it is crazy so I had to try something different. The book only took a couple of hours to read through because you don't have to read the whole thing, only the parts that have to do with your hair type, issues, etc. I started the program right-a-way and my hair and curls have definitely improved and look healthier. I have a big swirly gray and brown curl that dangles on my forehead. I'm still trying to find someone who can cut my hair the curly-girl way and then I will see the full results. I liked it so much, that I purchased two more book and put together a starter kit for two curly-haired friends of mine who are both excited about seeing what it will do for their hair.
