Stylist Diane Da Costa has always been on the vanguard of natural hair care. She's created beautiful coifs for Lauryn Hill and Les Nubians and authored Textured Tresses : The Ultimate Guide to Maintaining and Styling Natural Hair, a guidebook lending expert advice to those of us who'd rather pass on the straighteners and relaxers. Now she's introduced Tai Texture Hair Care, multipurpose products for wavy, curly, very curly, and tightly coiled hair. Top picks include Whip Creme, Lavender Mist, and Twist Creme, containing the essentials oils lavender and rosemary, as well as Botanical Treatment, a soothing scalp therapy for natural or relaxed hair.
