Note from the Author: Since cutting off my relaxed hair and going natural in 2010, I have become a magnet for relaxed and natural heads alike sharing their reasons for or against doing the same. To date, one of the most striking reasons I have heard for not going natural-and part of the impetus for writing this book- was from a woman who simply said, "It costs too much." Once the initial shock wore off, I realized that while natural hair does not cost a lot of money to maintain, there certainly is a perception that it does. This book is aimed at changing perceptions of the costs required to grow and maintain natural hair.

Going natural is only as expensive as you make it.

So what are you waiting for? Buy the book and start saving today!
