Los Angeles – Well-known and admired for her natural hair, T’Keyah Crystal Keymáh shares her secrets in her new book, Natural Woman/Natural Hair: A Hair Journey: Hairstyles and Hairstories from the Front with simplestep-by-step instructions on taking care of your natural hair. Infused with Keymáh’s holistic lifestyle approach, the book is a natural hair care style guide with poetic prose and step-by-step instruction on how to care for your hair.
“Natural Woman/Natural Hair” is a lyrical and historical contribution to the history of African American hair, written for children, women and men who have been considering wearing their hair naturally and don’t know where to start or how to take care of it. The book includes models and some well-known faces including, T.C. Carson – star of “Living Single,” Josie Harris Thacker – “In Living Color” fly girl, singer Pru and others.
About her journey, Keymáh stated, “I wrote this book as a glorious celebration of all things that have been wrongly negated, dismissed or vilified. The book is a present for all Black women and all others with beautiful tightly curled, coily, kinky or nappy hair.”
Keymáh anecdotally adds, “Someone once used Lena Horne’s make-up on Bill Cosby, not realizing that we come in all colors. I wrote this book hoping that the actress that follows me won’t have to tell everyone she meets that our hair comes in all textures…and that all of them are good.”
Keymáh is also starring in Disney Channel’s new original series “That’s So Raven.” “That’s So Raven” is a new live-action situation comedy starring Raven (formerly credited as Raven-Symone, “The Cosby Show””> as Raven Baxter, a winsome teen whose ability to glimpse flashes of the future often gets her into hot water. As Raven’s mother, Tonya, along with Rondell Sheridan as her husband Victor, Keymáh tries to allow Raven’s flights of fancy and keep her feet on the ground. “That’s So Raven,” is currently Disney’s #1 show.
“Natural Woman/Natural Hair” is available at her website. Please visit her website for other online listings or a bookstore near you.
