Top 7 hair care books that will change your perception about natural hair

I always encourage naturalistas to not just take good care of their hair but to be open to literature and other materials that will help them to appreciate their natural hair better. 

Owing to the fact that your beautiful crown doesn’t just serve to make you look even more beautiful but is also symbolic, then it is no news that some amazing books have been written about the topic. 

Reading books on the topic will not only help answer the tons of questions you may have about your natural hair, it will also help you to sieve out the bad information from the good ones to help you have a more knowledgeable and open mind about being natural.

Here are 9 hair books I recommend for you to read as a naturalista:
