African Cosmogony

Meaning ❉ African Cosmogony gently speaks to the foundational wisdom concerning the genesis of the universe and all its natural forms, including the unique structure of our hair. This understanding offers a lens through which to view textured hair, not merely as a physical attribute, but as a living expression of ancestral lineage and inherent vitality. From this perspective, the growth patterns and inherent strengths of Black and mixed-race hair are perceived as elements within a larger, divinely ordered system, guiding our perception of its distinct requirements. Consequently, thoughtful hair care routines can be systematized, encouraging an approach that aligns with the hair’s natural inclinations rather than resisting them. Through discerning its inherent design, we move towards automation-like principles where gentle consistency yields steady, predictable results. Such wisdom, when applied, means approaching hair care with a calm reverence, allowing its natural patterns to unfurl gracefully, honouring its unique heritage with practices that support its innate health and beauty.
