Growing Your Hair Today Monday

Hi My Beauties,

Just wanted to get the word out about how to build up consistency with growing out your hair.
Here is some info you may or may not already know.
To grow Long and Strong hair, that is to say African American Hair in particular,
moisture content in our hair should be 15% percent. The average person is between 8 to 10% percent. Yet due to what African American styling techniques and procedures such as curling irons, blow dryers, flat irons etc. African Americans hair moisture levels fall much lower than
8% percent which leads to breakage, dryness, and thinning sides, which has resulted in our lack of growing hair beyond the nape of our neck. Natural hair products high in natural oils are essential to aiding the hair to retain moisture and produce growth. There are several product lines that are out that have high content quality products that create moisture in hair:
Ojon, Beauty4Ashes, Carol's Daughter, Miss Jessies, Nexxus.
There are also some foods that can be very beneficial to hair growth as well,
such as almonds, sea weed, flax seed, fruits and veggies.
Also, to prevent breakage 100% pure Shea butter if applied to the ends of your hair will prevent breakage.

Some more websites to check out:

beauty4ashes.com

I hope you all have a beautiful fun filled week, and I will reach out again soon, Love Ya

Monday Happiness

Hello My Beauties,

How in the World is your hair doing today? If it's just doing, that's okay. I hope that all is going wonderful.
Well, as we all know summer is closely approaching which means if you are trying to be a strategist with your styles for the summer, definitely do it with a lot of careful thought and love.

If twists and and braids are your thing, remember to have them refreshed every eight to nine weeks so that your hair does not begin to lock-up (unless you are starting locks of course).
Then there is always tree braids in case you want the fun of straight hair with no damage to your natural texture.

On a another note, I do have some more products to share with you that are really great.
Well, at Urbanbella.com you can find the Jane Carter solution's nutrient conditioner $15.00 or
Curly Q's Shampoo and Coconut Dream Conditioner $14.00, at Carolsdaughter.com you can find the best tressed set (check for specials)that is great, there are some HSN-W (hair skin and nail) Vitamins that are by Nature's Sunshine that are on sale for $12.00 now these vitamins are great.

So to my bevy of natural beauties keep curling, keep twisting, keep frowing, keep rolling, if you need....... to press it - don't be afraid to let your waves flow.
Just be in the know, with what to do....
with the NATURAL YOU!!!

As always, Whatever the length ...Let your Hair Shine!!

Tuesday's Hair Therapy

Hello My Beauties,

I know, it's Tuesday, but you've got to hang in there with me.
Now, today's therapy is about just that,"Hangin' in there".
Inside of yourself you have just got to say over and over again,
'Perseverance is the key'!!!!
See, so many times we throw in the towel whether it's with our hair
or a circumstance and we just think that 'it' is too hard.
But, let me say to you no it's not to hard you have to readjust your thinking.
This is not easy, growing your hair natural and for those of you who've gone through the
process and are already natural, it is not simple to maintain. It's a choice. It's a stand up
and be determined choice. So many times we pray and ask for clarity or focus and God's
desire for us is to maintain our focus. He knows your hearts desire. Now, many women
who are growing natural experience so many different reactions from a culture that
says so many contrasting things anyway. So, if you know that the best thing for your
skin, scalp, follicle and hair is to be natural- devoid of chemicals and that process;
then have no fear - just do it. Take small steps if you have to, but, just do it.
Stand back and watch another new level of your confidence kick in.

As always Stay Beautiful.

Love,
~Dawn

Hair Therapy

Hi Beauties,

I missed a day yesterday of being in touch with you all
What do you do when you've missed a day of Hair Care?

The weather changes and can sometimes catch you by surprise, yes we all know that
hat day can be very cool, you just have to work that hat!
Pulling your hair back in one, and plopping a hat on is not attractive, have a little bit of style,
when you do it helps and doesn't look too shumpalinka!!!(smile)
I think every woman and man should have a wide array of classic to funky hats.
A Jamming hat can save you from sickness, as well as a bad hair day.

Now for your strands, you should put a light coating of conditioner to retain some moisture.
That way, your curls don't dry out when they are not attended to.
Don't forget to love on your curls even when they are not styled. Your hair is a reflection of how you feel about you, so, feel and look beautiful always.

Hey Here comes Friday.......Yeah!!!
Laugh out LOUD tonight!!!

Talk with you soon,

Dawn

It really speaks volumes to the fact that the strands that we can't even truly number have a tremendous effect on our day to day life.
