      Acknowledgments

      This book would not have been possible without my parents George and Margaret Kelley, the salt of the earth, who have been with me every step of the way filling bottles and giving me the love and encouragement that I needed to grow. I will never forget those days around the kitchen table when you teased me that you would form a union. I know I worked you! Thank you to my sister Palisa. Starting this company would not have been as fun or as successful without you. Thank you to my sister Audrey for your artistic vision and tenacious spirit to do what you have always wanted. It has always inspired me. A loving thank you to Darryl Walls who has helped shaped the tools that have molded my purpose and vision. Your loving advice has made my ideas come to life. You have sacrificed so much for me. A special thanks to Gilda Rogers and Caryl Lucas. Your dynamic spirits and energy kept me going the whole time. Gilda, your priceless ideas shaped this book into something beautiful. Rowen Samuels, Lavett Ballard, Daisy Giles and Yvonne Onque, you make natural hair even more amazing with your creations. With vision and the stroke of your brushes, you awaken each page. Finally, thank you to all of the ladies who have supported me and the Curl Prep Natural Hair Solutions line, especially the thousands of women who shared their stories and inspired me to write about something so seemingly simple - hair. From street corners to church pews, your candor has kept me going. Thank you.

      Introduction

      In the Beginning

      Oooh, I love your hair!

      I had heard this enough times and had waxed poetic on many a street corner over the past 20 years. All of the good conversations inspired me to start a website about natural hair. Because I was always in the kitchen mixing it up, I learned ways to master the perfect whips, creams and potions. Soon people began asking me to bottle up my latest creations. It took me several years, but in 2009, I finally gave in to my creative energies and instincts and created my own line of products, Curl Prep Natural Hair Solutions.

      The company grew each time I hosted natural hair seminars. At these events, women would gather to discuss how to do natural hair, and how to become more comfortable freeing themselves from chemical perms. And, of course, there was chew and chat.

      There is an automatic bond between the women at these seminars. From those with basic natural hair questions, and those with cancer and other health issues, to those who felt completely empty and needed a new hair beginning, the events were about more than hair. Breakthroughs actually happened.

      The gatherings have been especially empowering because women from all walks of life and cultures and countries let their hair down - literally. The wigs come off, the braids come undone and not so new naturals share their wisdom about their natural hair journeys.

      I’ve been clean for a year, one woman tells me as she introduces herself at a Natural Hair Seminar. There is a common thread that those with questions about natural hair all share and there is a fear and trepidation about the process that I have seen up close and personal.

      This is why, besides recipes, the book is filled chock
