Thando Kafele: Advice from the Lock Star

Natural Hair During Colder Weather

A of my clients are more concerned with their style options, and are not convinced that natural hair provides versatility and beauty. Protective styling is very important during the winter months; both locks and other styles will need a large amount of moisture to stay healthy in the colder months.

Conditioning Your Locks

A lot of stylists don’t stress the importance of conditioning natural hair and locks. There is a misconception that conditioner will loosen up the locks. Hair needs more moisture in cold weather and hair and scalp treatments are very important.

How to Use Products at Home

Clients need to leave the salon with products and a follow up regimen. I suggest using a hooded hair steamer with Nourish & Shine cocktailed with Scalp Nourishing Serum, and then sit the client under the steamer for 10-15 minutes. If you don’t have a steamer you can do the same treatment using a plastic cap for 30 minutes. Use plastic cap with or without a dryer. However, for best results use a dryer.

Men’s Corner: Treating Male Pattern Baldness

0 Comments

A full head of hair is associated with strength, virility and power from a male perspective. Unfortunately it’s out of our control as male-pattern baldness is controlled genetically and seems to be passed down predominantly on the mother’s side; if your maternal grandfather or uncles are bald, you might lose your hair too. The process can begin at any time from puberty but most often comes on around 30; by 50, half of all men have lost some hair.

70% of men suffer from male-pattern baldness. I’m not referring to a bit of hairline receding but diminishing hair in the crown are. This is a warning sign; don’t wait until you are fully bald, the fight is over then. The time to act is at the first sign on thinning! Some want an alternative to medication due to possible allergic skin reactions and the risk of systemic effects due to the absorption through the scalp.

Close Cut

0 Comments

While women love well-groomed men, shaving can result in some not-so-pretty consequences. Coarse facial hair is a real problem for most men, especially those that shave on a daily basis. The stubble that grows back in becomes more coarse and thick due to the frequency of the shaving. It can be trickier than a chemistry equation; causing men to press harder in an attempt to get a closer shave, leaving them with nicks and cuts!

What’s a man to do? Use hair conditioner as a shaving cream. (YES, hair conditioner!)

No more bumps, ingrown hair, or razor burn…and your skin will be soft and smooth. Conditioner, especially when applied in the shower, softens the hair with the assistance of steam; shave at the end of your shower. Even better, Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner has soothing ingredients like green tea and lavender oil along with moisturizing jojoba oil. Kind to even the most sensitive skin, Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner will leave your skin soft, silky smooth and nourished, naturally.
