Description

Learn how to love and care for your natural hair spiritually and practically.

Uplifting and authentic, My Divine Natural Hair: Inspiration and Tips to Love and Care for Your Crown helps Black women embrace the God-created beauty of natural hair through inspirational readings and salon chair guidance on how to heal, consistently care for, and grow their coils. As a response to the history of discrimination against Black hair and the societal pressure Black women continue to face to alter their hair texture, My Divine Natural Hair brings together raw personal reflections and hands-on hairapy to both encourage and equip readers to care for their hair as the crown God has placed on their head. Inside this book, which was inspired by one of the co-authors' experiences with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, or CCCA, you will find:

- Why your beliefs about natural hair are directly impacted by your spiritual life

-How to maintain a healthy scalp, healthy hair care routine, and healthy hair esteem

- How to heal from past hair care trauma, hair loss, and texturism

- "Salon Chair Sessions" with tips on developing healthy hair habits, DIY hair care recipes, and practical resources

The authors address deeply personal topics like hair loss, comparison, and self-doubt, while also offering everyday tips for hair growth, styles, and maintenance, as well as scriptural and literary affirmations and a glossary of terms.

My Divine Natural Hair will enhance the self-esteem and hair health of Black women and girls.

Awards & Endorsements

Katara Washington Patton, Executive Editor at Our Daily Bread Ministries, author of Inspiration for Christian Teen Girls and Navigating the Blues
"I can totally relate to many of the stories shared in My Divine Natural Hair. I am a naturalista (after trying three times to give up the relaxers I used for 25 years), and I am raising a teen daughter who has not had any chemicals touch her natural hair. I believe it's important for African American women to get in touch with our tresses. Knowing our hair correlates to knowing ourselves and truly loving who God has created us to be!"
