Your Weekly Guide to Growing in Faith & Natural Hair Care

Hi Reader!

​

Spring is literally at the door, and I'm so glad because for the first time in nearly 5 years, we had an actual winter in New York. And I'm so over it!

​

How about you?

​

Well, in today's newsletter, I've got tons of spring self-care tips to get you started on a good foot for the season...Ready for it? Read on...

📈 GROW IN GRACE​
​Preparing for Spring Hair Growth

Yes, Spring is the season for growth. Is your hair ready for it?

There are a few things you can do to prepare:

​

1. Get a trim - If you live in a cold climate, it's highly likely your hair took a bit of a beating over winter. Get rid of those old, dusty ends and prepare your hair for seasonable growth.
   ​
2. Out with the old, In with the new - Get rid of old and expired hair products. Restock your favorites or start using a few new products that you've had on your "wish list."
   ​
   I started using a few new brands on my hair just recently, and I'm looking forward to the moisture they provide:
   • Kinky Tresses Coconut Mango Hair Butter
   • Kinky Tresses Avocado Infusion Restorative Conditioner
   • Design Essentials Honey Creme Detangling Shampoo (used and recommended by my stylist)
   • I Am Nubian Ginger Protein Hair Mask
     ​
3. Review your hair routines - What you do in the winter, you may not need to do as the temperatures rise. For example, hot oil treatments. I ditch doing these every season but winter. Also, I just got my last hair straightening done for spring. It won't happen again until December. Reader What routines can you stop doing and start doing in their place?

​
