Customer Reviews

Great book!

This book was very helpful for starting my son's dreads. It gives you the information you need to get started with step by step instructions and a list of products you should use. The author also gives you some personal insights into why or why not you should chose dreads. Great book. Easy read.

Pleased

This book was very helpful! I needed specific ideas on how to get started. This book helped me with common questions and all the basics of locking hair.

I'm now on my THIRD read!

I just want to say that this book has been extremely helpful. I just started to lock and many of my questions were answered. I am glad that I will be saved from making a lot of mistakes with my locks simply because of the good advice in this book.

good book especially if you collect natural hair care books

i've had locs for over 4 years and natural hair for a couple of years before that but i still enjoyed this book. since there wasn't a lot of printed info on natural hair when i went natural back in 99 so i got in the habit of clipping articles and buying books on the topic so for me this is a good addition to my collection. i did learn a few new things and it is overall good reinforcement if you already have locs and it is good info for those considering locs or for those that are newly loced and that don't have a lot of good support/advice from someone already loced. the book isn't that expensive so i say support an author that writes about natural hair care.

Taking the dreadful out of dreads!

Ms. Bonner once again brings humor and information together in delightful book about dreadlocks. "Nice Dreads" is a wonderful book about starting, caring for and sporting locks. Lonnice has done her homework and gives the reader info on the different types of locks, from Sisterlocks to organic locks, and everything in between. In "Nice Dreads" we also get to revisit some of the models from her other natural hair care books. "Nice Dreads" is a very enjoyable read even if you are not comsidering locking your hair. If you are on the fence about locking this is a great book to let you know the techniques that are available. If you are already locked there is information here for you too. Can't wait for her next book!!!
