Love your Hair,

Congratulations on beginning your journey to natural hair!

One of the hardest things about growing out relaxed hair is converting from a relaxed style to a natural style. Once the new growth is an inch or so long, you really begin to notice the transition between the natural hair and the relaxed or permed hair.

You’ll want a hairstyle that is gentle and protects your hair. The hair is fragile where the new growth and permed hair meet and a terrific style during this transition stage is called The Straw Set. This hair style protects the hair by minimizing strain on the place where the hair is most vulnerable because you simply “finger comb” your hair.
Here’s what you will need:

• A pack of plastic drinking straws (for slightly larger and looser curls, use small perm rods- available at any beauty supply stores)
• End papers
• Bobby pins

Step 1:     Shampoo with Moisture Nourishing Shampoo and condition with Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner,
blot with a towel

Step 2:      Saturate with Wrap & Roll

Step 3:      Part your hair into ¼ to ½ inch sections

Step 4:      Apply papers to the ends of hair

Step 5:      Roll your hair onto the straws or perm rods and secure it with a hair pin

Step 6:      Dry your hair under a hooded dryer

Step 7:      Gently remove the straws and separate the curls

Step 8:      Finger comb through curls with Nourish & Shine

Love Your Hair,

Dear Jane,

This is Maria from Baltimore.. Again, I think that the work that you are doing is so very important to the health and well-being of women of color, especially young girls, and I will trumpet the value of your product line far and wide ( I can be especially good at this:_)).

I mentioned a poem about hair that was written by a friend of mine, Dr. Signithia Fordham, who teaches at the University of Rochester. As you will see, it is a powerful testament to the critical role that hair plays in the constitution of self throughout life. I am attaching a pdf of the poster that was created for a public presentation of the poem by Dr. Fordham at a conference last fall. Should you desire a copy of the poster, please let me know.

Best regards to you and continued success!

Be well,

Maria Phillips
