When many Black women think
of maintaining their hair, there are
often only two choices: Altering
their natural hair with a relaxer,
weave, or lace wig; or accepting dry,
coarse, natural hair that is difficult
to grow and manage. According
Camille Jefferson, authorof the new
book, "Reclaim Natural Beauty,"
there is another option.
The book is geared at teaching
black women how to grow their own,
natural hair to extra-long lengths,
develop and define their curl pattern,
and grow hair that is soft and strong
- all without the aid of chemicals.
"If there is one thing that many
black women struggle with, it's our
hair, "Camille explains. "Relaxersare
damaging, wigs and weaves are ex
pensive and not everyone's first
choice, and our own natural hair
seems to not even be an option. But
what if we knew how to grow our
own hair longer than it's ever been,
develop and define our curl pattern,
and nurture it so it's soft, and alter
ing wasn't needed?"
From the author's own hair experi
ence, she knows how hard it is to deal
with hair that is constantly breaking
due to damage, dryness, and rough
treatment. So she decided to do some-
Camille Jefferson
thing about it: she went to natural.
Once she did, however, there was
one problem: herhairwasdry,coarse,
breaking, and wasn't appealing to the
eye; and what was worse, she didn't
know what to do about it.
"It was then I realized how un
educated I was on how to take care
of my own hair, because 1 had a
relaxer most of my life," she said.
After educating herself, experi
menting and implementing new prod
ucts and her learned processes,
Camille was able to grow her own
hair past the middle of her back in
less than 2 years - longer than it's
ever been her entire life - with no
chemicals.
"I think that knowledge is power
ful. If every black women had this
information and knew how to take
care of their own hair so it grew long,
curly and beautiful, I believe that
many would choose this option.

Amazon.com, and on E-book at
