Great Natural Hair books and some others

Hey yall. I've been reading some great books and I just wanted to share. These books are directly related to people of African(American) descent. They are mostly books about hair, but some are self-help books. I give them all thumbs up.
1. Hair Story: Untangling the roots of black hair in America
2. Act a Lady , think like a Man
3. No Lye
4. God Made me Beauty-full
5. Kinki Kreations

and so many other books. To purchase these books, go all the way to the bottom of my blog and there is an Amazon widget labeled "My Favorites."
