Textured Tresses: The Ultimate Guide to Maintaining and Styling Natural Hair
This book is filled with illustrations, step-by-step instructions, hints of spirituality, product and tool recommendations. Diane Da Costa is an avid supporter of textured tresses with an understanding that the decision to chemically alter one's God-given hair structure belongs to the individual. There is even a small section about caring for chemically treated hair.
The tone used in this work is one of self-actualization, recollection and appreciation. Da Costa is a trusted hairstylist who is not afraid to share her techniques and products of choice with those who choose to purchase the book. She tells stories of her encounters with celebrity clients and even the marvelous blessings she has received such as features in Essence magazine and a host of celebrity clients.
What I Love
The Foreword. I don't think I have read such a wonderful forward ever! Da Costa requested that her client, Blair Underwood craft the foreword for the book. My, oh my did she make an excellent choice. There is something about a man with intellect that just...whooooooo! Underwood compares the hair follicle to the male genitalia in a way that completely left me awestruck. That's all I'll say about it because I want you to read it for yourself.
Tui Oil (by Carol's Daughter) was a recommended product.
Behind the Chair Encounters. As a fellow stylist, it is always lovely to hear the stories of my fellow hair artists and the fact that many of these clients were celebrities adds a dreamy effect for any stylist.
There is so much more in this book than I am highlighting here. Da Costa goes into salon professionals, healthy diet, hair loss and disorders. I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about textured tresses from the inside out.
