#15 The Power of Protection!

#15 PROTECTION!

This is a biggie! I fi nd my hair thrives the most when it is protected—either by styling (twists, buns) or silk scarves at night. Whenever it is kept in hibernation (and I usually do this if I’m working from home and/or puttering around the house), it’s protected from the elements of heat or cold, both of which can be damaging to the hair. Be mindful of when you need to protect yourself. Now, I’m not saying go out in the world and be fearful of everyone and everything you encounter—on the contrary. Danger is real, and arming yourself with protection in any endeavor can make you even more fearless as you pursue whatever goal you set out for yourself. My hair has taught me the importance of protecting myself as I fearlessly navigate life.

*Every day starting February 24th at 11:11AM EST (it is said that the angels sing at this time!) until April 10 I will count down the remaining days of our 'A Call to HAIRiette ARMS' fundraising campaign. We're raising funds to create an interactive series --with YOU!-- and a haircare line (a portion of which goes to charity, THE ACTOR'S FUND).

We'll share one essay from my upcoming book I FOUND GOD IN MY HAIR: 98 spiritual principles I learned from my relationship with…my hair! (via twitter: @tanyaTTwright, @HAIRietteharlem). As with all things that give you struggle, my hair has taught me a lot about life, love…and FAITH. It is my hope you will find inspiration in these essays to apply to your own life.
