Hi :) I am new and really liking it here.
Anyway, I have 2 questions for you all:
1) Which book would you get?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/0761123008/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_top/102-1230459-0447313?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books#customerReviews
or http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?isbn=9780609808375&atch=h&atchi=132871474
(or would you instead utilize this forum and not spend money on either?)

2) Which satin cap would you get?
http://www.amazon.com/Satinette-Satin-Sleep-Cap-White/dp/B000172S2A or http://www.headcovers.com/moreinfo.php?id=11091?
The important thing to keep in mind here is that I am a guy and I do not want to be too fussy with my hair (like if i am awoken in the middle of the night or something and here I'm wearing this huge lacey nightcap... haha).
(or would you just not get a nightcap? I was looking into nightcaps because I don't want a satin pillowcase...cos I don't want to wash it every 2 days and this is the only way I'd have one.)
So...yeh tell me what you think.

Thank you!

Hello, I am fairly new also :)


I am more of an admierer of long hair than an expert on the subject so I am sorry that I really can't answer your questions.

I hope you have a nice weekend :)

ok I caved and bought: the curly girl handbook (even though I am not a woman, but there really arent books like that for men!! I guess Im a curly girl...haha)
and i got the blue headwrap, not the crazy English looking lacey frilly SHOWGIRL satin sleep cap. :)
I know a lot of you are all about satin pillowcases, but Im sorry, Id rather have a headwrap because I can break out if I sleep on the same surface every night. I use a towel on the top of the pillow for one night, flip it for the second, and then next towel!
Thanks people, sorry I have been all questions and im NEW but :) you know I am figuring stuff out.
Also, I just got the Terressentials Lavender hair mud/wash, and am excited to try that! Ill let you all know

Hi Yaku nice to meet you!

I heard the curly girl book is really good!  How long is your hair?  We would love to hear more about it, color etc.
One thing I use for my curls that I like is Ojon restortive treatment, just a dab will do ya'  After I wash and all I gently comb then ap-ply the Ojon to the lenght only and let hair air dry. 8-)

Hi, Yaku!  I totally recommend the book you bought, and I am a curly girl.  I've been using the techniques in the book for nearly a year and my hair consistently looks great!

As for the sleep cap, thanks for the link to headcovers!  I'm thinking of trying one of theirs-I sleep on silk pillowcases but as my hair gets longer my concern is of sleeping on it and these caps may be my answer.

Welcome to LongLocks!!

Thank you for the responses, wow.
You are welcome for the links, I am excited to try my dark blue satin cap. XD
I'm introducing myself in the new members forum.
