The Witch in Black

🌒💆🏻💆🏽💆🏾💆🏿🌒 Please note this post is for BLACK witches. Black witches please feel free to add! Non-black witches please don’t add. Thanks! ☺️ (These can be adjusted for those with relaxers too of course!)

✨keep moon/sun water in your spray bottle

✨use your correspondences and assign intentions to your hair oils & moisturizers.

⚫️DEEP CONDITIONING⚫️ ✨choose your deep conditioner ingredients based on intent or how they make you feel.

✨while waiting; visualize issues in your life getting softened and smoothed out.

✨during detangling (I detangle w deep conditioner), visualize physically removing stress, neg feelings from your life.

✨washing it out activates intentions.

🖤SHAMPOOING/CONDITIONING/CO WASHING🖤

✨if you section your hair to shampoo/co wash it, assign each section on an aspect of your life you’d like to reflect or work on.

✨as you work shampoo/conditioner through, visualize obtaining what you want out of the ritual.

✨as you wash it out, visualize negative energies in your life spinning down the drain.

⚫️PROTECTIVE STYLING (nighttime wrapping)⚫️

✨twists, braids, Bantu knots, etc. can be used for knot magick.

✨set your intentions for the next day when styling.

🖤PROTECTIVE STYLING🖤

✨similar to nighttime wrapping knot magick, but used for longer term intentions.

✨sync protective styles to the Lunar cycle.

✨my boyfriends mom told me to clip my ends on the New Moon

✨choose hair colors to match intent.

✨use moon water & oils to match intentions when you dip braids.

⚫️ACCESSORIES⚫️

✨color magick can be used for scarves, turbans, beads, rubber bands, headbands, etc.

💫Keep crystals in your spray bottle to charge the water with the crystals energy (PLEASE RESEARCH WHICH CRYSTALS ARE SAFE TO PLACE IN WATER!!!! 🚨🚨🚨)

💫Rosemary adds sheen and deepens the shades of dark hair, and is used in works for protection & courage.

💫All manner of “Kitchen Witchery” can be used to make your deep conditioners/hair masks. Making your hair products can become a ritual in itself

💫Choose your wash day on the day of the week that corresponds to the results you’d like to manifest (ex. Monday for intuition, Tuesday for action, Wednesday for communication, etc.)

💫 Talk to your Ancestors when you oil your scalp. Hell talk to them whenever you touch your crown.

It’s been a little while since I made this post; I thought I’d add a few more ideas that I’ve incorporated in my craft and hair regimen. Once again, non black witches feel free to reblog but your 2 cents are not needed thanks! Black witches, brujxs, workers & conjurers please add your ideas!! LOVE YALL. LOVE US.

If you're unable to tell the difference between misinformation and differing opinions, it's best not to label something as wrong without seeking further context.
