HOW TO GROW YOU HAIR BACK FROM TRACK ALOPECIA

Alopecia is a medical terminology that is used for various hair loss.  Hair loss affects millions of people.  Most people are frustrated  because they try so many things and no results.   We are going to talk about bringing your hair back after traction,  but lets first start with the prevention of alopecica traction.   We need to stop braiding our hair so tight,  and stop braiding it in the same direction each time,  avoid pulling the hair back from the edges.   You should also avoid pulling the hair tight to do a ponytail.    These few things will have a big impact on alopecia  tracts.    These types of damage can be treated if it isn't permanent damage.  Treatment can be head massage, proper products, and by styling your hair different and more.  Your natural hair need proteins and air to heal form damages.  If you have these kinds of damages,  stop putting tension on your hair to prevent more damages. You may be wise to wear a custom wig during treatment so that you have easy access to your natural hair.   Be sure to wear extensions for the proper time 4-6 weeks no later than 8 weeks before you take them out.   This is a great time to get natural hair treatment before applying hair extensions.   You should tell the stylist to try a different braid pattern each time to avoid the damages.  It may cost a little more to go through natural hair treatment before applying the extensions,  but it will be worth it at the end.

    

HOW TO GET INTO THE HAIR BUSINESS AND FINDING THE RIGHT POSITION FOR YOU

The hair business is a huge responsibility, and you will need a great love for hair.  When I say great love for hair,  it's for the natural hair as well,  not just to sell someone hair.    When you are in the hair business,  you should learn all you can about the hair business.   This is why stylist have such a huge advantage in selling hair.    Although,  you may not be a stylist,  it would be a big advantage for you to  learn about the natural hair,  and all other different type of hair.   The knowledge of hair will help you to stand out and find your position in the hair business.    You will be able  to aid clients natural hair as you offer extensions and custom wigs.    You are required by law to be a license cosmetologist to open a salon and offer certain hair services,  or you have to hire license cosmetologist to work in your salon.   However,  there are so many other positions you can take in the hair business.   Here  are some of the positions,  wig designers,  extension specialist,  extension and wig seller,  natural hair consultant selling natural hair products.  You don't have to sell hair to be in the hair business.   There are so many ways that you can find your position in the hair business to stand out and make a different.   You need to do some  research and figure out what you want to do,  what inspires you the most,  and go forward.   Remember everyone is good at something, and if you want to be in the hair business,  you have to figure out what that something is.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR SKIN

The skin reflects your health, it is the body's canvas,  and it's your most valuable assets.  The skin, or I should say your skin can not be replaced, so daily skin care means everything.  Skin care dose not mean  that you have to go over board with products,  keeping it simple is best with a regular routine.  You should start a daily cleansing regimen at a young teenager  to develop healthy habits.  As mature women, we can take care and pamper our skin.   With the new trends of facial contour which require you to use an extensive amount of makeup,  it is even more important now to take better care of your skin to avoid clog pores, and  to prevent other skin damage.    It is critical that the women who use excessive makeup develop a daily skin care regimen.  There are some skin care issues that you will need a professional to seek help from such as a dermatologist,  however,  you can avoid some of these issues with proper skin care.   Shaw Essential Skin Care was created for young teenagers that are experiencing with cosmetic,  or just want to have healthy and younger looking skin.   These products can be used as young as thirteen year of age.   You have the Shaw Cleaning Gel,  Shaw Toner, Shaw Firming Serum, and Moisturizer Protection.  You also have a great Shaw Night Cream. These product are the key to young ladies getting the daily cleaning regimen started to keep you skin healthy and looking young.  Find these products at http://www.etsy.com/shop/shawzaeboutique

SHAWZAE ON PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE

I am so excited to share this blog with you,  because products knowledge is important to all of us.  There are all kinds of product out there to use,  but how do we determine what will work for some clients and not for others.   Products are the key to success,  it takes the work out of your services so that you can obtain what you want,  without the labor.   There are a few ways that you can determine what products  works for you salon.  You may have heard the old saying,  you can't use the same perm on everyone head,  which is true.   Products are determine by the service you offer,  so if you have the same similar clients,  with the same hair texture, and similar hair issues,  then you probably would not have to purchase too many different products.    However, if you have a mixture of clients then you will have to purchase a lot of different products,  to meet your clients needs.   The way I purchase products is based on products that meets most natural hair textures.    A stylist should know how to care for all hair textures.   When purchasing products,  know what it will do to all textures,  so if you do get a new client,  you can feel comfortable knowing that you got products for that clients as well.   A few years back,  I had a client that walked in for hair services,  and I was taken back because I didn't feel like I had products that were right for her hair texture.   I consulted with the client for what she wanted,  evaluated her hair and texture,  then book her for an appointment for another time so I could get what I needed for her.   She became a regular client,  and that taught me how important product knowledge is for all hair texture.   You just need to know that the products,  or brands that you use can benefit all textures you will be servicing. 

COFFEE TALK ON TAPE HAIR EXTENSIONS

Ladies you will be able to see coffee talk on my YouTube,  if you don't read it here,  see it on YouTube.   Tape ins are one of the services in our salon,  and I personally love them.   I wear them, and actually they are easy for me to take out.  Ladies, lets get started.

I have been trying to get the black ladies to wear tape extensions for a while,  because they offer no damage and just as easy to care for as a sew in.   Tape ins are trending now,  even among the black ladies,  so I felt this was a good time to start the conversation.

Tonya,  I don't think women, mainly black women feel that tape extensions are secured enough for them,   like the sew ins are.

Me,  That is actually correct,  for one thing black ladies put oils into the hair,  because a lot of times, we have dry hair,  and we need to keep some oils in hair to keep it moisturized.   I am told by a lot of my white clients that there hair is oily,  and that is why they  wash their more often is to keep the oils out of their hair.   However,  all ladies can enjoy tape extensions,   If the tape extensions are installed properly and the client follow instructions on the care of the extensions,  they will have no problem.

Nellie,  How can black ladies wear the tape extensions without loosing  them.

Me,  I am glad you asked that question.  All ladies have to prepare their hair for tape extensions or any extensions so that they look natural and flawless.   Once the hair is prepared,  then the tape extensions are installed.  Tape extensions has an adhesive that will connect to the hair,  and there are tools that can press the extensions onto the hair,  and you can also apply a little heat.   Once the extensions are properly installed,  the hair is connected to the tape so it won't come loose.  When you wash and shampoo your hair,  use a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner so that you don't get too much oil into the hair.  Make sure when you use oil sheen and hair spray,  don't use a lot near the connectors which is the tape.  To oil your scalp,  just use your finger tip and put a little oil to the scalp only,  you will not loose the tape extensions.         

Jen,  How long do they last?

Me,   You should have your tape extensions reinstalled every 6 to 8 weeks,  just like a sew in.  Human hair tape extensions will last for years with proper care, and they will be reusable for the life of the hair.  Human hair blend will be reusable for up to 6 months,  which means you will get at least 3 installs out of the hair, and synthetic a lot less time.. 

I hope that information has helped you,  and check out my shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/shawzaeboutique  or our website at www.shawzae.com for more information on hair

COFFEE TALK ( THINNING AND ALOPECIA HAIR )

This conversation isn't new and you may have heard some of the information  before,  but we do want to keep the conversation going to help you stay updated.  We have so many women and men with this problem that we have to keep the conversation going.    Thinning and aloppecia  hair isn't a age thing,  because we have a lot of young women and men with this problem. 

The conversation starts:  These are some of the conversations that I have had with some of my clients and friends,  so lets get the conversation started.

My hair started thinning when I started getting relaxers.........Sarah

The relaxers were probably too strong for your hair, and you should avoid having your hair relaxed until you know for sure if that is the cause of your hair loss.  I would recommend you start going to a natural hair salon so that you can get your hair healthy again,  let whoever you go know what happened, give them your hair story...........me

My hair is fine,  I guess I was born with it,  bad hair,  and it won't grow.......Mindy

When born with fine hair,  it is very important that you take special care of your hair to keep it healthy.  You should not put heavy products in your hair,  or extensions that will weigh your hair down.  If you would like longer hair,  or maybe get hair color,  get a custom wigs,  because this is not going to damage your natural hair., and also make sure you get healthy products for your natural hair.
Your hair thinning may be hereditary  but it can be healthy even if it's thin or fine ........me

My hair was taken out by a stylist,  and it's never been the same after the service....Tina

The stylist probably didst understand your hair,  and the products were probably too strong,  however,  you can get healthy hair again.   When you go to get your hair done make sure you give the stylist your hair story so that she can get a picture of the health of your hair.   A consultation and hair analysis is important......me

Join in the conversation and let talk about hair while we sip our coffee.
