PREPPPING THE CANVAS Caring for Your Textured Hair
ACHIEVE IT! Styling Your Textured Hair
F rom a very young age, I knew that I not only possessed a vivid imagination like most children, but also that I never wanted to lose my childlike spirit. A distinct part of me craved make-believe and fantasy. The possibility of opening a book, watching a movie, creating characters in a play, or escaping to magical lands, galaxies, and universes consumed me.
Because I was born into a military family, my siblings and I were raised on a healthy diet of practicality and pragmatism. So, I had a dilemma. How does a child who doesnt want to grow up compromise with other factions of himself that scream, Be sensible!? Answer: Become an actor!
Choosing this insane and wonderful business was thankfully sanctioned by my parents, who actually did an outstanding job of balancing our majestic dreams with the mundane realities of the world in which we live. So, off I went in search of as many diverse characters to portray and become as possible. Diversity, versatility, chapter and versethese were the tools I carried with me when I went off to college to study drama and later to New York in search of a show business career.
As time marched on and more and more jobs came my way, I found myself creating different characters from the inside out (as we were taught in drama school). In other words, finding the inner life first and then building the exterior. Ive always enjoyed this layer of the creative process, creating the look. His wardrobe, walk, speech patterns, etc.oh yes, and of course, his hair.
Which brings me to Diane Da Costa. I was first introduced to Diane more than a decade ago in Los Angeles. We worked in different areas of the entertainment industryDiane as a natural hair care specialist and me as an actor. Over the years, Ive consulted with Diane numerous times regarding different hairstyles. Whether I was manufacturing locs for the short film The Second Coming or sporting twists and cornrows, Diane has been a reliable and dependable source of knowledge and insight. In May 2001 while I was shooting the film G, Diane established the twisted look for my character. While she had me on lockdown in her chair, she launched into a barrage of questions about how men (collectively) and I (individually) felt about hair and women.
In my opinion, a womans hair is inextricably linked to either her sexuality or, at the very least, a mans perception of her sexuality. Sexual preferences notwithstanding, it is more a question of how she embraces her sexuality and femininity. Does she embrace them? Does she even love herself?
After a long, in-depth interview with my dear friend Diane, I was honored when she asked me to write the Foreword to Textured Tresses.
