Reader,

​

Sometimes we push ourselves a little too hard. We buy more products. We create tighter plans. We pray longer prayers. And, after all that? We still feel stuck.

​

But often the issue is not the effort. It is friction.

That constant resistance, regardless of the area of your life that's being affected, wears down progress.

​The Main Cause of Breakage

Natural hair is fragile by nature. Fine natural hair is even more fragile. That’s why when it comes to “handling” your hair, you must be gentle.

​

​Read on for the ONE main reason your natural hair keeps breaking.​

Two-Fold Friction

Friction can sometimes be a good thing. The friction that God allows into our lives to mold us more into His image is the good kind of friction.

​

Then, there's the friction that we as human beings create in our own lives. That kind of friction causes... Damage.

​

With your hair, it is the rough handling, tension styling, and neglect.

The constant friction and resistance can quickly undo any progress you've made.

​

Spiritually, friction looks like a life that makes room for everything but God.
You show up for your job, your family obligations, and you do all the things you think you should be doing to keep it all together.

​

But you miss prioritizing the one thing that brings true ease and peace. A relationship with your Creator.
​
...Spending time in God’s presence and in His Word.

​

Without that, even our good efforts fall flat. Friction remains.

The truth is, lasting growth in both your hair and your faith requires more than effort.
​
It requires intention. It requires prioritization. It requires trust and faith.

That is what I want to help you nurture.

📆 COMING SOON

​

Next month, I will be sharing something designed to help you experience that kind of support in both your hair and your walk with God.

​

And just a heads up. I will be popping into your inbox a little more often this season.

​
Fall is in full swing, and I have beautiful and helpful things to share as we prepare to end this year and move into 2026...God willing. That includes something special for Black Friday.

​

You will not want to miss it. Stay tuned.
