Why You Should Build a Relationship With Your Hair
By Maya Weston | Founder, Manely Natural
Your Hair Isn’t Just Hair—It’s a Reflection of You
Most of us were never taught to build a relationship with our hair. We were taught to style it, tame it, straighten it, or “make it presentable.” But true transformation begins when you stop trying to control your hair—and start learning from it.
Your hair is a living extension of your body. It reflects your health, your habits, your hormones, your history—and your love. It’s constantly communicating. But the question is—are you listening?
At Manely Natural, we believe that just like your relationship with God, building a relationship with your hair requires presence, patience, and purpose. You have to show up for it. You have to learn what it needs in each season. And most of all, you have to honor it as it was created—fearfully and wonderfully made.
The Truth About Hair: It’s Intentional
Textured hair has been misunderstood, miscategorized, and mistreated for generations. But science and history confirm that hair evolved to meet the needs of the people who wore it.
Tightly coiled strands are not a flaw—they are a feature of divine design, developed as protection, insulation, and distinction. Each strand size, curl pattern, and texture carries purpose. And once you start seeing your hair as a design—not a defect—everything changes.
How to Begin That Relationship
If you’re wondering where to start, here’s your first step:
Know Your Hair’s Blueprint
-
Hair Type (curl pattern: 4C to 1A)
-
Texture (fine, medium, coarse)
-
Density (how many strands you have)
-
Porosity (how your hair absorbs and holds moisture)
We’ll be breaking down each of these in our upcoming series—starting with real strands, real comparisons, and no more biased charts that leave our hair misrepresented.
Why This Matters
-
Self-Awareness: Your hair responds to what’s happening in your body—learning it gives you insight into yourself.
-
Spiritual Alignment: Loving your God-given hair means embracing what He created with intention.
-
Legacy & Education: When you understand your hair, you can teach your children to love theirs, too—without shame, damage, or distortion.
