This manual is both educational and instructive. A practical guide for maintaining and living with dreadlocks, a hairstyle that most in American society consider impractical. This book is full of good advice and even contains helpful diagrams. I am buying a copy for a friend!

Inspirational -Yes, Educational- No,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Worry, Be NAPPY! : How To Grow Dreadlocks In America And Still Get Everything You Want (Paperback)
This book was more of a motivational speech than an actual hair guide on dreadlocks. There might have been one paragraph on actually locking your hair while the rest of the book is spent on the author's life and how he overcame the stares and looks to get a job he liked. There is also a section on being more educated on african culture, such as going to multicultural events and participating in black history month and kwanza. I already do these things so the last thing I need is someone telling me to do this just because I want dreadlocks. This book just wasn't worth it.

Should be called "My life experience with dreadlocks",
By Queen Ren "Queen Ren" (Jacksonville, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Don't Worry, Be NAPPY! : How To Grow Dreadlocks In America And Still Get Everything You Want (Paperback)
I was disappointed in this book because I felt the author may have mislead the reader with the title. The book is actually about his own personal experenciences in life with his dreadlocks - It's more like an autobiography. It does have a little information about how to care for your locs as well as your physical and mental well-being, but it wasn't exhaustive by any means. There is so much more information about how to start and maintain locs and he didn't even scratch the surface. BOTTOM LINE - If you want to hear the life story of a man with locs and his personal revelations...buy this book. But if you want concrete information about starting, maintaining, and (basically) living with locs...DON'T buy this book.

Don't Worry, be Happy!: How TO Grow Dreadlocks In America An,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Worry, Be NAPPY! : How To Grow Dreadlocks In America And Still Get Everything You Want (Paperback)
This book was not at all helpful! It was more stuff about the writer than dreadlocks. If he really has everything that he wants then why haven't we heard of this person! This is a book on how one person can talk about himself, there is very little help in this book and it is filled with errors. I suggest before anyone else purchase this book the aurthor make some big changes!
