Splendor: The Nazarite Method to Re(growing) Long, Strong, Healthy, Holy Hair

I've been reading and taking my time with the book and the protocols over the past few days leading up to the key protocol and ritual last night. It was incredibly powerful for me and almost like a deep remembrance for me from another ancient time. I always have loved having my long hair, and the couple times in my life when I've cut it above shoulder-length I would feel odd, naked and out of sorts. But I didn't realize the power my hair held as part of my embodiment until this book and practice. AND I AM OVER THE MOON with the practices in this book and have whole-heartedly adopted it as an ongoing self-care practice. I immediately felt a shift in my sovereignty and reclaiming parts of myself that were lost. My nervous system felt restored. And after having a baby a year ago and running around bedraggled and often feeling frazzled and overworked, I feel a break in that energy now and a new spaciousness and embodied empowerment that I was longing for... And I have to say I feel more beautiful than I have in quite some time, too! And my hair is thick, shimmering and lustrous. It just feels radiant and so do I. I also started growing out my silver over a year ago when I became pregnant with our son and it's been a bit of a journey embracing that with my lighter older hair as my deeper and silver hair sprouts anew. Somehow the protocols have bonded it all together and gives me a sense of wholeness. I could go on and on about this. So grateful... thank you, Sara!

As a hairstylist myself, I found this book to be incredibly helpful. All of Sara's books are so healing, in many different forms for a myriad of reasons, but this one in particular was healing at a root level. We may not think that our hair has much to show about our internal happenings, but it indeed, does. This book found me when my naturally thick, long, luscious hair was breaking and very dull. Likely due to trauma I had experienced. Energy does not lie! Internal suffering has a propensity to manifest and begin to show itself externally quite often. As I began to incorporate her suggestions from Splendor, I slowly began to heal. Yes, my hair came back to life, but more importantly, my Soul did. So much so, I began to incorporate and suggest these teachings to my own clients within my hair business. This book, her words, her heart and deep care for others hold the ability to heal our worlds if we choose to do the work. It's a process that requires deep patience, tender care for our nervous systems, and showing up with Love for our being. Highly recommend to any human in need of healing.

After having a Shamanic Journey for our son by Hanan Eisenman, we had a hard time as parents supporting the integration work and aftercare of much emotional turbulence.Sara suggested the Splendor protocol and we saw a change in our son after only one prayer/hair washing ceremony. My son who would take out his unprocessed anger in ways that were not in his or his environment’s best interest started asking for divine guidance for himself.It was like a sense of peace fell over our son after hearing, seeing and feeling us turning to the divine for his well-being and strength. I guess it’s true what they say about children taking after what we do and live vs what we say, and that was an immediate effect from our Splendor intervention.Can’t wait to implement the entire book to our family one step at a time 🙏

No one has mentioned how poorly written this book is, aside from the woo woo. I don’t mind woo woo if it’s well written, but yikes, the writing is so bad it was distracting. For instance, the author uses “rite” in place of the word right. The first time it appeared I thought it was a typo, which seems common in self published books with no editorial help, but, Lordy, she keeps repeating it throughout the book and never in the context of ritual, but as a substitute for right. The book is overwritten despite it’s short length, with unclear writing, unnecessary phrases like “as it were”, liberal use of parenthetical phrases, quotation marks, and hyphens and slashes everywhere.I gave it two stars because there is some useful information here, but even that would be more beneficial if the format was clearer.I got this with the intention of giving it to a friend who has lost her beautiful hair after chemo and several years of traumatic stress, but after reading it, I’m really embarrassed to pass along such a poorly written book.If the author ever decides to revise it and employ an editor to help clean it up, it might find a wider audience. Good luck!

I applied the apple cider vinegar rinse, the oil mixture - and - the itchy scalp is not longer itchy. And - guess what - my hair is not falling as drastically any longer. And that after only 1 week. I am also taking the vitamins the author suggests.So far, so good. Let's hope it keeps going like this. I wish there were more "recipes". I understand that there is a lot of New Age stuff/Shamanism that may turn off prospective readers. Don't let it. It really works.

The book is Ok. At least it’s better than all of the other medical jargon that is repeated everywhere else. Too foofoo and most of the book is talking about her personal subjective experience. I’ve ordered nearly all the hair books on amazon. The best one is, Nutritious and Hair Loss A New Perspective by Avicena . I literally had my mind blown. All in all this book is ok if you want to learn of her experience but but the other book by Avicena is a golden gem.

Splendor is a wonderful guide to sacred hair growth and care. I already treated my hair in a manner very similar to the Splendor protocol, since I live a holistic life. I have felt connected to my hair since having it locked, and Splendors practice has deepened my relationship with my body, my hair and my Spirit. It's been an intregal part of my spiritual practice and it's results are evident to me in the length and glow of my locs. I'm very happy with this book and I'd recommend it to anyone who is ready to make the changes nessecary to be whole. Thanks!

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for ‘Splendor’.Now I will admit that I don’t 100% follow it all and I must have looked at it for a long time on my table before I had the confidence to read it, but like you suggested, I do what I can where I can, and I will likely do more as time goes on but even the small changes have had an effect.I no longer bleach my hair.I’m happy to let the grey come through and I always talk about going grey in a positive light to the women who come to my beauty salon.My hair is now past my shoulders and thicker and healthier than it’s ever been.I use a 100% organic, vegan, natural shampoo.I rarely use hair products or electronic stuff.I eat a better diet.And I feel so much stronger and feminine and dare I say it, sexy.So thank you, from the bottom of my heart.I didn’t actually believe it would work for me having had thin, flat hair all of my life but I took a leap of faith and I’m so happy I did. 💓💓💓

For those who feel that hair is a magical antenna that needs care on an energetic level, this is the book to read.
