"Uplifting and authentic, My Divine Natural Hair: Inspiration and Tips to Love and Care for Your Crown helps Black women embrace the God-created beauty of natural hair through inspirational readings and salon chair guidance on how to heal, consistently care for, and grow their coils. As a response to the history of discrimination against Black hair and the societal pressure Black women continue to face to alter their hair texture, My Divine Natural Hair brings together raw personal reflections and hands-on hairapy to both encourage and equip readers to care for their hair as the crown God has placed on their head. Inside this book, which was inspired by one of the coauthor's experiences with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, or CCCA, you will find: Why your beliefs about natural hair are directly impacted by your spiritual life ; How to maintain a healthy scalp, healthy hair care routine, and healthy hair esteem ; How to heal from past hair care trauma, hair loss, and texturism ; 'Salon Chair Sessions' with tips on developing healthy hair habits, DIY hair care recipes, and practical resources . The authors address deeply personal topics like hair loss, comparison, and self-doubt, while also offering everyday tips for hair growth, styles, and maintenance, as well as scriptural and literary affirmations and a glossary of terms. My Divine Natural Hair will enhance the self-esteem and hair health of Black women and girls." --publisher's website
