The Hair Mavens was such an emotionally packed novel which I didn't expect! Based on the cover, I thought it wouldn't be too in depth with serious issues; just a light hearted novel with a bunch of drama! But wow, I was wrong! There was lots of drama, however there were a lot of emotional parts. My heart strings were pulled so much as well as my desire to have my hair shampooed, cut, and fashioned!Never have I read a book and felt so at one with almost every character. I saw myself in Shira, Harriet, Beulah, and Kathy. I felt the crisis101 that Shira did when things were outside of her control, I felt that desire to be bossy and be unrelenting in opinion like Harriet, I have felt that compassion that Beulah did for others, and I have felt the need to run away like Kathy. Each woman stuck with me in a different way than I expected and I most definitely didn't expect to fall in love with each of the characters or have them capture a piece of my heart! I didn't even expect Jesse to take a small piece of my heart with his ways of waiting to give himself away to his wife!I loved the spiritual aspect of the novel! It was amazing and biblically accurate, but the interesting thing is how there was messianic Jews in deep friendships with Christians. I thought it was very fascinating in how they were "inter mixed" throughout the novel with one faith, one Savior, and one true God. Through these different, unique friendships I loved how the reader saw how each character was a flawed person who came to see their need for Christ in their life. None of them were perfect and all somewhere throughout the novel cried out to God with the support of another Hair Maven.Lastly, I loved how the author wrote about each person's lives. The reader was able to see into each person's heart despite that another character might think different about them in a certain situation! Terri did an amazing job of describing the setting and the overall scenes since I felt like I could be a bystander watching the event unfold!So to conclude, I can't wait to read more about The Hair Mavens! It is sure to be another amazing novel with plenty of drama and a good dose of hair spray!Thank you Terri for a free copy of "She Does Good Hair" in exchange for an honest review!
