Nourishment starts at the root: of our faith, our emotions, and yes, even our hair. God designed us to flourish, not just function.
This week’s newsletter is all about tending to every layer of you - inside and out. Here’s what I pulled together for you this week…

📍GUIDED GROWTH
Devotional: Feeding Your Faith With God’s Word
It doesn’t happen all at once, but over time, the lack of spiritual nourishment starts to take a toll on the mind and emotions. Scripture has a lot to say about being fed and nourished spiritually, and that theme became the focus of this devotional and a 30-day Bible reading plan for spiritual nourishment.

💡 FAITHFUL STRAND TIP
Moisturizing your hair is a nourishing process, not a product or a one-size-fits-all technique.
What works for high porosity hair (like spritzing water and sealing with oil-based products) may not work for your strands.
For fine hair, try layering a:
- Light steaming to open the cuticles (best for low porosity hair)
- Water-based leave-in conditioner (not just a spritz of water)
- Featherweight oil (like grapeseed, sweet almond or jojoba)
Higher porosity? Reach for a heavier oil or butter to seal and slow down moisture loss.
Moisturizing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is your natural hair journey.

🙌🏼 TREASURE THIS
Moisture Layering for Fine Hair
We often focus on what we’re putting on our hair and bodies, but what about what we’re feeding it from within? What about the other parts of us?
...The spirit and the soul.
Your hair thrives when it’s supported, but you thrive when you are supported at every level: spirit, soul, and body.
Here are 3 areas to nourish from the inside out:
- Internal Nourishment: What you eat shows up in your body, including your hair. If your diet is low in specific nutrients, your strands will suffer.
- Emotional Nourishment: Peace promotes growth. Stress constricts blood flow and messes with your hormone levels. Both of these can affect healthy hair cycles.
- Spiritual Nourishment: Don’t skip spending time in God's Word or His presence. The food you "eat" from God's Word makes the biggest impact. "You can't live by bread alone." (Matthew 4:4)
The Faithful Strand Academy was created to be a sacred space where your natural hair journey is nurtured through the lens of Scripture—where faith, identity, and practical care meet. Because how you care for yourself should always reflect how deeply you are loved.

Oh hey, way down here! If you forgot why you're hearing from me, Michelle - the creative woman behind Fine Natural Hair and Faith, it's probably because you purchased one of my digital products or signed up for a sweet freebie on my website. I focus on 3 areas: 1) Teaching fine haired naturals how to elevate their hair routines so they can reach their hair goals. 2) Helping Christians how to tighten up their Faith walk 3) Inspiring and supporting women to prioritize their self care. My emails sometimes contain affiliate links which pays me a small commission for recommending the products at no additional cost to you. Of course, I never recommend anything I don't use or have experience with. Thank you. If you aren’t vibing with these emails, you can say no-thank-you at any time, no hard feelings.
