Spirit Possession

Meaning ❉ The term ‘Spirit Possession’, within Roothea’s understanding, signifies a heightened, intuitive attunement to the world of textured hair. It denotes the moment when an individual’s diligent study of their coils and curls transforms into an inherent, guiding wisdom. This phenomenon extends to the expansion of knowledge concerning unique hair structures, encouraging a methodical approach to daily care where principles become as reliable as an automated process. It further applies to the practical application of this accumulated insight, allowing actions to flow with a quiet confidence, as if the hair’s distinct needs are directing the hands. This gentle yet compelling influence establishes a settled, knowing relationship with one’s hair, asserting a personal command over its well-being. Such a state represents a deep connection to heritage and the precise science behind Black and mixed hair care.
