A Naturalista-Worthy Gift Set

0 Comments

During the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, you may notice that the cold weather has left your hair feeling dry and frizzy. Dry, damaged hair can become brittle and break easily, especially if you tend to overuse chemical processes such as perms, dyes, relaxers and straighteners. Dryness can also be caused by heat styling tools such as blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. Naturalistas everywhere are looking for a way to add some moisture to their dehydrated tresses. After all, nobody wants crunchy, frizzy hair for Christmas.

The Q-Redew handheld hair steamer is the perfect tool to add moisture to your hair without washing or oversaturating your curls with a spray bottle.

Tips for Removing Your Protective Hairstyle

0 Comments

Protective hairstyles have become the secret to tress success for many naturalistas! Protective styling doesn’t make your hair grow, but they do make it possible to prevent breakage since your hair may be breaking off faster than it grows. What protective styles do is keep your ends “protected.” These styles are more about hair retention; just make sure that no matter which way you wear your hair, that your ends are tucked away.

To maintain the health of the hair you just protected, you want to make sure the removal process is smooth and breakage. Follow these 4 tips below:

Patience, patience, patience! It’s all about timing! If you’re not in the mood to take your style down, wait until you are. The process can be tedious and requires a gentle touch.

Add moisture to the mix. Your hair will be much more manageable and easier to work with when there is moisture. Use Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner to add ease to the removal.

Start at the ends. If you’re taking out two strand twists or box braids start from the ends of your hair and slowly work your way up until it is removed.

Tangles Happen, Don’t Panic. This is true especially as your hair gets longer. Even if you’re very careful with your hair, knots can still form. Don’t panic, don’t tug, don’t brush it – just breathe! Take your time and simply slowly undo the knot.

Master detangling your hair. Detangle while hair is wet and saturated with conditioner; apply Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner, work through tangles with a wide tooth comb or your fingers.

Tea Time

0 Comments

It’s the holidays, a time for fun, family and, of course, food. You’re not focused on what you should be eating, your portion sizes and especially not adhering to your gym routine. So what can you do to minimize the end-of-year overindulgence? Drink green tea, the preferred drink of health enthusiast and supermodels.

holiday tea

Green tea is good for you as it is naturally rich in antioxidants; it comes in varied flavors to satisfy all tastes. Green tea isn’t fermented, as black and oolong teas are, it contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants. A few cups of green tea per day can lower bad cholesterol and promote weight loss; the bonus, it’s a hair growth stimulant! The epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) found in green tea can help in hair loss prevention. This powerful antioxidant has been found in researches to be an effective hair growth stimulant to prevent hair thinning.

So next time you’re in the mood for something warm or you’ve overindulged in your Grandmother’s sweet potato pie, consider going green. Not only will it provide you with a refreshing drink, it may also boost your health, help slow aging, make you slimmer and stimulate hair growth.

Now that’s a gift that keeps on giving!

Is Abundance on Your Shopping List?

0 Comments

The Holiday season is in full swing; tis the season! While some are preparing for the festivities, others are trying to find a way to generate extra resources…a bit of abundance is definitely on their shopping list. Maybe you’re reading this and need a bit of extra cash for gift purchasing, buying a plan ticket to visit family and friends or looking to pad your savings nest egg before the end of the year. No matter the reason, abundance tapping is the solution!

abundance

The reason tapping works is that the blocks to abundance are really all in your mind. If you change your beliefs about money, it will be easier for you to let it in. Imagine having more than you need, that your cup runneth over with what you need and more. See it, feel it, believe it. Don’t worry about how, the Universe is infinitely abundant. There’s plenty for you and everyone else!

Abundance is not defined by how much a person has, but by how aware a person is of how much he or she already has. If you can’t see that you are already abundantly blessed, you won’t be able to see when it is multiplied by 10, 100, 1000 or even a million. Opening up to abundance isn’t a pursuit; it’s a state of mind.
