The Spiritual Nature of Kinky Black Hair
Like galaxies, Black hair grows in a spiral pattern,
Like trees, Black hair grows toward the sun,
Black hair reminds us that all is one.
Colonizers have stripped Black people of everything but our natural hair, though they’ve succeeded to some extent by depicting kinky hair as “unprofessional”, subsequently making Black men cut their locs and pushing Black women to perm their hair or wear weave, failing to recognize the power in our natural crowns.

Hair is an extension of our minds— no two hair types are alike because no two people are alike. Hair is as unique as a fingerprint because we all have a unique way of thinking.
The melanin in our hair acts as a panel that absorbs all forms of energy and transfers it to the brain. This enhances our 6th sense, allowing us to pick up subtleties in our environment, like warn us about potential danger or alert us when someone is lying.
When we look at the coils on a Black person’s head and wonder why Black hair is so kinky, it’s because Black hair is a manifestation of how energy moves in the universe — in spirals.
