Reader,

​

Some seasons push us to go harder. Others? They invite us to slow down.

​

Summer can be a lot. Especially when you have natural hair. The heat, the humidity, the extra steps just to keep your hair from drying out, frizzing up or breaking off. It can truly feel like a lot. Why else do you end up in a ponytail or a bun?

​

What if this summer, we didn’t try to do all the things? What if we eased into the season instead? That doesn’t mean letting our hair go. It means learning to care for it in gentler ways that work with the humidity and not against it.

​

If this sounds like something you want to lean into, this week’s newsletter is for you.

The Culprit Can Weaken Your Hair

When you’re dealing with dryness and breakage, it’s tempting to just throw more product at the problem. But sometimes, the issue isn’t what you’re putting on your hair. It’s what your routine is putting your hair through.

​

One sneaky culprit? Drying.

​
Air drying might seem harmless, but it can leave your roots damp for hours and actually weaken your strands over time.

Blow drying with high heat can be even worse, often making breakage more likely.

​

Somewhere between the two, we end up frustrated, and our hair ends up stressed.

​

When I got my hair cut earlier this year, I sat under the hands of a master stylist who taught me a lot. But the gem that stuck with me most? How I dry my hair.

​

I’ve tried all the methods:

• Air drying
• Towel drying
• Plopping before drying
• Using a diffuser attachment while drying
• Blow drying with a handheld dryer

​

But what she confirmed was something I already knew deep down. I needed a tool that works with my hair, not against it. A tool that saves time and helps hold onto moisture.

​

If that’s something you’ve been missing, let me introduce you to:
​

🌀 This reverse air dryer. It uses suction and low heat to stretch and dry natural hair faster, with far less damage than traditional dryers. It’s gentle, effective, and especially helpful during summer when air drying can quietly do more harm than good.
