Beauty Alert: Thinning Edges


Ladies, we have many responsibilities on a daily basis and taking care of ourselves should be at the top of it, but sadly, it isn't. One of my peeves as a hairstylist, is my women constantly damaging and drying out the front edges and the back of the hair. This usually comes from not using the proper material to wrap the hair at night, and with constant moving and rubbing against the pillow, the roots are dried and then begin to break off. This is a huge problem with a simple fix. Moisture, moisture and more moisture! On a daily basis, preferably before night time, apply grease to the edges of the scalp and rub it in thoroughly. Wrapping your hair at night with a satin or silk scarf will also allow for less breakage and drying of the entire head. It's not hard and doesn't take all day.
I recommend Doo Gro Mega Thick Medicated Hair Vitalizer. This brand specifically helps thinning edges and temples and promotes anti- thinning for thick strong and healthy hair. Doo Gro Products can be found in your local beauty supply store.

Summer Hair Care and Protection: Part 1


Now that the pools are open it's time to also open our minds to the possibility that one can sustain healthy hair with the proper hair care tools. Many of us are turning towards braids to refrain from to much damage to our tresses.But for my natural sisters if you are an active swimmer its your job to be your hair's first line of defense from dry water, sun and chlorine. Re-hydrating your hair immediately after leaving the water with a spray leave in conditioner until you are able to do a thorough wash and condition, will not only begin the repair process early but also protect you hair from the suns harsh rays that will be drying your hair out at the same time. Ultra moisture is key and begins with the wash to the conditioning and styling process. Ions Purifying Solutions has a product line that caters to swimmers hair at affordable prices. This week at Sally Beauty supply store Ion's Swimmer products are on sale and with purchase you receive a free pool bag valued at 14.99, which is surprisingly cute.
When you are able to make it to your stylist be sure to request a treatment that will protect your hair from you everyday life and styling.

Indique Hair


We are all tight on funds and sacrifice our owmn needs and wants for the needs of our families, but one thing we can not afford to cut corners on is the quality of a good weave. From personal experience as a hair stylist, woman don't know all the necessary information required when it comes to picking out a good weave and we end up putting our fate into the hands of an Asian sales person, only to realize a week out that the hair was the worst batch of hair that they could have possibly sold.
It takes research with your hair as it does with anything else in your life to guarantee that you are receiving the best products for your mane. Set out on my quest to find the best quality in weave I came across one site that offers woman more than just weave. Indique Virgin Indian Hair is located in India with and have office in the states located in Boston, MA and New York, NY. Indique is located at the source of where the best quality weave comes from. Indique’s unique Indian virgin and natural human hair extensions are lustrous, and tangle free. Indian hair is of outstanding quality since it has never been exposed to harsh chemical treatments and has been groomed in natural herbal oils. They also provide a line of wigs and many different collections for every hair type and style.
I have worn this hair myself and my sew-in lasted 4 months with maintenance. They are not cheap, but well worth every penny. Their line of products can be found in a selected few beauty supply stores.

All Natural



Congratulation's to Ms. Jackson on her brave step to cutting it all off. Confidence is a must for such a style. I have been rocking a short mohawk for some time now, and although I am a lover of hair, it is the best hair style that I have donned to date. It's low maintenance and allows me to add hair and play around with different styling techniques.

Today Was a Good Day

Today was such a beautiful day that I, like you I'm sure, had to get out and enjoy it. Unregretfully, the Lord had a different plan in mind (as always). I aint mad at ya! Work came in a perfect flow, although I missed rehearsal with my family. I stepped outside for a moment but had no problems walking back in to make my money.

I have recently had a lot of questions about what hair products that can be used on little girls of mixed ethnicity with lots of frizz and African American grains that are natural, curly, and kinky. Having this same dilemma myself , the search began and I came across one brand that caters to it all. CURLS was specifically designed for woman and children of multi-ethnic decent with unmanageable frizz, curl and kink. CURLS is used by a variety of celebrities such as Amerie, Holly Berry, and Ashanti. Affordably priced, I will definitely be purchasing this product and give you my opinion and please let me know if you do the same.
