Meaning ❉ Ritual Hair Styling is a thoughtful, consistent way of approaching the care and presentation of textured hair, particularly for those of Black or mixed-race heritage. This practice moves beyond simple cosmetic application, establishing a dependable framework for sustained hair health and appearance.

This disciplined method allows for the practical application of accumulated insights concerning coil and curl configurations, porosity, and density, ensuring lasting vitality and a consistent aesthetic.
