There are many books that embrace natural textured hair, but very few shed light on the maintenance techniques as well as Emi's Curly, Coily, Cotton Candy Hair ($9). Seven-year-old Emi shows readers just how she styles her hair with multiple tips and jokes along the way. Lines like, "Today Mommy is washing my hair and these are all the tools she needs," and, "Growing healthy hair is easy when you're gentle and patient," all focus on the importance of a wide-tooth comb and leave-in conditioner to retain moisture for Black hair.
