many ideas when I first met her. I've been waiting to see her
hair texture on television since Tootie Ramsey on The Facts
of Life. I wanted Diane to be the image of the brown-skinned,
medium-length, Afro-textured-haired young girls in my com-
munity. Over the years, I've used hair beads, barrettes, cornrow
and individual braiding techniques for her, as well as protective
hair styles like buns and ponytails. I have kept her hair and scalp
moisturized and healthy. Shea Moisture, Derm Organic, Love
and Snow, Kera Care Affirm and Design Essentials are a few
product brands I've used while styling her hair.
Devante Johnson (August and Berlin Gross) is our young-
est character on the show, and I wanted him to look like a
child who stays with grandma. To create his look, we use a
soft brush and hair cream.•
