My friend Ouidad dropped me a note about her new book. It’s more autobiographical in terms of how she became the Queen of Curls and created so many fabulous products as well as the techniques necessary to teach women of all ages, colors and locations how to handle their curly hair.
Here’s what she shared with me so that I would share it with YOU! And I am thrilled that she asked me to do it.
I wrote this book to share my personal and professional journey bringing the acceptance of curly hair to the United States and working together with an awesome group of immigrant women.“Help me. Fix me.”
That was the desperate plea I’d often hear from new clients. Every person that walked into our New York City hair salon for the first time had one thing in common. They’d grown up hating their curly hair. These four words have changed many people’s lives and helped build the curly hair industry in the United States.In 2002 I was diagnosed with the same disease, at the same age, as was my mom. Breast cancer took my mother from me when I was 25 years old. Her loss embedded an empty feeling inside me and took a piece of me with her.
Though I made a full recovery, I vowed that my battle against breast cancer would remain ongoing.
My husband Peter and I established Curls for a Cure® because we firmly believe that we can beat breast cancer by helping fund the research that creates new treatments and ultimately finds a cure for this devastating disease.
Curls for a Cure® is proud to partner since 2004 with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and its mission to advance the world’s most promising research to end breast cancer.
100% of the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Here’s the link to Amazon where you can buy the book!
Please partner up with Ouidad on this book. Her story is amazing and very meaningful.
The link is to an interview I had in 2019 about Ouidad’s life and her battle against cancer. It’s an incredible read!
