About this title

About the Author

Called "The Curl Whisperer" by her clients, Tiffany Anderson Taylor, the owner and creator of Live Curly Live Free, is a master hair stylist and curly hair expert located in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. As a girl with curls herself, she knows firsthand the problems associated with curly hair because she's battled the same problems her entire life. And, unlike many stylists, she understands the importance of cutting curly hair dry so the curls retain their individuality, knows certain ingredients in most common shampoos and conditioners are a recipe for disaster for curly hair, and believes virtually anyone can learn to style their curls so they are soft and flowing, not wet and crunchy, and will hold their shape without frizz. Girls with curls from as far away as Tallahassee, Pensacola, Jacksonville, Boca Raton and Ocala drive hours to see Tiffany (and even fly in from other states) for, as one curly client put it, "the best hair I've ever had in my entire life." The glowing reviews she has received on curly hair forums on her work and the many referrals she receives from her clientele attest to her considerable knowledge about curly hair, and has earned her numerous kudos on her unique and unprecedented blend of cutting, styling and product education.
