Your Weekly Guide to Growing in Faith & Natural Hair Care

I'll share more about that in the future, but for now, I want to focus on that very word...INTENTION (which, by the way, is my word of the year). Keep reading.

Living With Purpose: Intentional Growth Inside & Out

Every choice you make is a seed planted. As it relates to hair care, you have many choices to make from your hair reset day (aka wash day),

​

Your decisions should be informed and with a purpose in mind.

​

Purpose Pause.... Before continuing, set your intentions for the upcoming month (hair care, faith-based or wherever you want to focus.
The stage is yours. I'll wait)

​
