A decade in the making, “Natural Hair for Beginners” is a true gift to women and girls, whether they are newly natural, or life-long naturals looking to reclaim their healthy hair.” - Nikki Walton, Best Selling Author and Founder of CurlyNikki With the hugely successful natural hair movement, Black women have been embracing their natural textures in full force within the last decade. This has caused an increase of information on natural hair from styling to caring but most information is scattered around the web in blogs, vlogs and some books. Finding step by step direction and accurate information is hard for most and downright difficult for others. It was time to bring a one stop shop of accurate and detailed information to make the process easier and up close and personal. In this comprehensive guide to training once-processed hair to return to its original state, Natural Hair For Beginners, is a must-read for women of color or any woman with the desire to achieve the evolutionary results they seek. This book is unique as it is a comprehensive and user-friendly read, complete with expertly explained definitions along with providing essential tools and techniques for maintaining strong, well-nourished hair. There is no book on the market that has all of that information along with educating women on natural hair terms, brands, and even the mindset needed to attain a positive experience. With extensive background information, step-by-step directions, and answers to the most frequently asked questions, readers will find all the information they need to accomplish their hair styling goals from hair growth, thinning edges to common ingredients to look for and to steer clear |

| yarn faux locs: Seasonal Slow Knitting Hannah Thiessen, 2020-10-13 “Thiessen’s new book is all about promoting creativity at a slower pace, offering advice on finding the time and space to knit in a restful, calming way.” —The Knitter Slow Knitting introduced crafters to a process of more mindful making through five basic tenets: source carefully, make thoughtfully, think seasonally, experiment fearlessly, and explore openly. Now, this seasonal approach encourages knitters to delve deeper into those concepts, applying them to everyday making through a series of essays, projects, and patterns that explore the life of a knitter throughout the year. Organized similarly to a seasonal planting guide or farmer’s almanac, each chapter and section is designed to identify and encourage small ways that knitters may begin to employ noticeable change: organizing your yarn stash, carving out time for knitting, and starting on that baby blanket in a timely manner. The ideas explored here add up to a fuller, more mindful year, all through the joyful experience that is knitting. |
| yarn faux locs: Gothicka Victoria Nelson, 2012-04-23 The Gothic has taken a revolutionary turn in this century. Today's Gothic has fashioned its monsters and devils into heroes and angels and is actively reviving supernaturalism in popular culture. Nelson argues that this mainstreaming of a spiritually driven supernaturalism is a harbinger of what a post-Christian religion in America might look like. |

| yarn faux locs: Head First Java Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates, 2005-02-09 Learning a complex new language is no easy task especially when it s an object-oriented computer programming language like Java. You might think the problem is your brain. It seems to have a mind of its own, a mind that doesn't always want to take in the dry, technical stuff you're forced to study. The fact is your brain craves novelty. It's constantly searching, scanning, waiting for something unusual to happen. After all, that's the way it was built to help you stay alive. It takes all the routine, ordinary, dull stuff and filters it to the background so it won't interfere with your brain's real work--recording things that matter. How does your brain know what matters? It's like the creators of the Head First approach say, suppose you're out for a hike and a tiger jumps in front of you, what happens in your brain? Neurons fire. Emotions crank up. Chemicals surge. That's how your brain knows. And that's how your brain will learn Java. Head First Java combines puzzles, strong visuals, mysteries, and soul-searching interviews with famous Java objects to engage you in many different ways. It's fast, it's fun, and it's effective. And, despite its playful appearance, Head First Java is serious stuff: a complete introduction to object-oriented programming and Java. You'll learn everything from the fundamentals to advanced topics, including threads, network sockets, and distributed programming with RMI. And the new. second edition focuses on Java 5.0, the latest version of the Java language and development platform. Because Java 5.0 is a major update to the platform, with deep, code-level changes, even more careful study and implementation is required. So learning the Head First way is more important than ever. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect--a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. You'll see why people say it's unlike any other Java book you've ever read. By exploiting how your brain works, Head First Java compresses the time it takes to learn and retain--complex information. Its unique approach not only shows you what you need to know about Java syntax, it teaches you to think like a Java programmer. If you want to be bored, buy some other book. But if you want to understand Java, this book's for you. |

| yarn faux locs: The Aquarian Healer Irma Sawyer, 2015-11-05 The most anticipated BrightStar Empowerment has finally arrived! Also look for the other BrightStar Empowerments THE AQUARIAN EMPATH, THE AQUARIAN EMPATH PART II, and THE AQUARIAN PATH TO ABUNDANCE! The physical body is going through great changes in response to the higher light quotient on the planet at this time. Those who identify as Empathic or Highly Sensitive may be more aware of this than others. The popular New Age view that sees illness or disease as some kind of mental weakness or emotional defect often misses the mark. These processes can be deep and complicated at times, and not easily explained away by one catch-all meaning or philosophical view. In illness, the physical body may be seen as the enemy and as a thing to be feared instead of loved. True healing on all levels is really a return to the knowledge that no matter what, you are okay, and actually even better than that. You are not the body, nor any of these passing scenes. To return to your original, organic state of LOVE is powerful medicine. Illness, dis-ease, and prosperity difficulties are often from a general dis-ease with the process of life, as well as deep, abiding fear and the original sin illusion with its subsequent guilt and shame. But in the reality of many cases, the purpose of the dis-ease process is to raise awareness for deeper healing-not to punish or condemn. Dear ones, an essential part of healing and restoring yourselves is the belief in the essential benevolence of Life and its constant movement towards balance. Even if you cannot always see it in the moment or understand the mysteries, you are LOVED. |
