The Glam Twinz Guide to Longer Healthier Hair by Kelsey Murrell and Kendra Murrell caught my attention due to my understanding that beauty comes in various forms but I was wanting a kindlebook that also provided encouragement on keeping hair long. I have not yet seen their youtube videos yet I might do so now and I do enjoy various topics that both women cover in this kindlebook even if I respectfully disagree with some points. Some of the following good tips in this kindlebook; the fun habit of creating an image of success and a plan when it comes to getting a certain hair length andor type, find a friend (obviously helpful as sometimes a person may sometimes get external advice from other sources on what to do with their hair based on what is trendy andor popular but not necessarily in the best interest of the person). For instance, the natural hair movement is becoming more popular and is more inclusive of women from various backgrounds, bodyshapes, complexions, socio-economic status, age and other factors which is a good thing. I sometimes receive emails andor online articles sent my way about the natural hair movement and I see the good intent behind this. However, I can only speak for a woman like myself but wearing my hair long and chemically relaxing it every 6-8 months is actually more convenient for my budget and lifestyle. I previously wore my hair natural from the summer 2003 when I was still in the navy until April 2012 (nearly 3 years after I was honorably discharged from the navy)but that was when I had much more free time and I legally generated an income of at least 2 grand a month after taxes. My point; I like that both Kendra Murrell and Kelsey Murrell explain why you want to have a plan for your hair because other well meaning people may tell you what would be good for you when it may be good for them while a different way may be personally best for you. Both women also share a listing of some foods to keep in mind for certain hair growth goals, multivitamins, and more.

As a person who liked to take care of my relaxed hair
As a person who liked to take care of my relaxed hair, I achieved within almost 3 year waist length. ( just to say how much I took care of them and considered myself as an expert lol) . Last year, I decided to go back natural, and believe me, it is hard. I cut my relaxed end every three months when I can in order to not big chop. I followed a lot of Youtubers, and I knew the Glamtwinz channel for a long time now. Their hairs are goals for me. I made a lot of researches, which helped me of course, however, I couldn't find something that would help me to really deal with my both texture. My twist out, braids out last only 1 day, and pineapple thing do not work for me at all. This was my main issue. When I started to read their book, an advice given catched right away my attention, it was something I used to do when I first start to take care of my relaxed hair back then, and It worked amazingly. How did I forget about that technique? It is simply to moisturize my hair as usual and put it in a simple bun that will last a week without managing them at all through the day. I know it migth not seems something new, but it actually did worked for me back then, so why not now? It helped keeping the moisture in the hair through the all week.Overall, even if their advices seems to be familiar, I am glad to have something to keep in hand to remind me that there is no magic, it is simply a journey where you have to walk step by step in order to completly master it.

General information for beginners
I really want to leave a glowing review for this book. It's a good start for anyone but there's nothing like having the girls react to and recommend specific products.Their YouTube has a very unscripted and natural "girl talk" feeling but this book hits you over the head with unnecessary descriptors and use of "moreover", "furthermore", and "nevertheless" that makes it read like an 5th grader trying to hit the minimum word count for an essay. The confessions sections of the book have a little bit more of the personality shining through.To me this book's downfall is sloppy editing. Lack of commas and a few misspellings leave it with an unprofessional feel. If a good editor could have cut some of the dragging or repetitive paragraphs, used a reliable spell check and proper punctuation this would be fabulous.More of a 2 star read as a published piece and you'll be really disappointed if you follow their YouTube channel but I really wanna support these girls so I gave them 4.

I appreciate that they have shared what has worked for them and they DO NOT come off like they know everything
I appreciate these young ladies so much. In this book they explain what how and why. They touch on everything from proper techniques to supplements. They even mentioned growth cycles, acknowledging that everyone's hair has a different growth cycle. Not everyone pays attention to that. I appreciate that they have shared what has worked for them and they DO NOT come off like they know everything. I have been natural for about 7 years and growing my hair out for 5 of those 7 years. I have learned tons from watching them on YouTube. My hair is BSL and that is the longest is has ever been and I'm no spring chicken. They acknowledge that their tips are what helped them on their journey. They know everything doesn't work for every individual. I simply use the tips that work for me. Kelsey and Kendra, congrats on the book and Keep up the great work.

I would have to say that this book help me so much understanding how to care for my natural hai... My hair is curly but on the finer side because of my mom and dad. I would say my hair is 3c and 4a mix texture but reading this book has help me a lot. It's always good to focus on healthy hair and not length because it going to make you feel good. Not only that the glamtwinz will b here in Miami Sept 17 for book signing and I can't wait to meet them and let them know how I appreciate being part of their lives and channel. If anyone is think of going natural, please pick up this book because this is the holy Grail of being a curly girl.. I hope this help anyone like me that transitioning from color damage.

Beginners Friendly
Je penses que c'est un livre adapté à celles qui débutent leur aventure capillaire. En ce qui me concerne je n'ai rien appris de nouveau sur l'entretien des cheveux car depuis 2011 j ai acquéri déjà pas mal de connaissance sur le sujet. Donc la lecture de ce livre m'a paru assez répétitive. However, c est un livre chouette à avoir, facile et agréable à lire, les anecdotes et métaphores de Kelsey et Kendra sont rigolotes.
