CHILDREN DON’T COME WITH A SET OF INSTRUCTIONS, BUT CARING FOR THEIR HAIR AND SKIN DOES.
This workshop is designed to help parents of children with curly-kinky hair textures learn the necessary techniques, and understand what tools are needed, to properly care for, and maintain, healthy and beautiful naturally curly hair.
Basic hands-on instructions will be taught. We will also answer questions about what to do, where to go and what to buy to care for your child’s skin and hair.
Tentatively Scheduled Sunday September 9th, 2012. Tickets go fast so don’t miss out.
We have clients come in all the time wanting to know if we will perform Keratin straightening treatments for them. Fortunately, we respect curly hair enough not to feed in to the hype of non-chemical relaxers. There have been many fake non-chemical relaxers that have come and gone over the years taking lots of beautiful curls with them. This treatment is much like a relaxer and strips away the protective layer of the hair cuticle, leaving your hair limp and lifeless for several months. That is if you are lucky and your natural curl is restored at all.
From my experience with clients who either didn’t seek professional advice before trying the Keratin straightening or those who went to a professional and had the service done and are now experiencing breakage, dryness or lack of curl snap back is to use a deep conditioning treatments every other week to replenish and revive your curls, and always use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Nothing will MAKE your curls come back but time, so patience will be your best friend in this process. Unfortunately, those with kinky hair textures 4a-4c tend to have the worst experience when waiting for their curls to come back. The process is similar to growing out a relaxer, as your natural hair texture returns your choices are to keep up with the Keratin treatment or manage the new growth at the scalp while you wait for your curls to snap back. For anyone who has had to transition before you know that this is a frustrating process. Protective styles are a great way to manage the time that it takes, and causes less breakage because you are not combing your hair as often.
The beauty of naturally curly hair textures is the versatility. Keep your versatility by keeping away from the Keratin and just doing an old fashion thermal straightening.
We have a lot of male clients that come through on a regular basis so please forgive me for not featuring them more often. Our men clients appreciate having their locs styled just as much as our women clients and truth be told they are usually more particular about detailing than most women.
Styling or braiding locs keeps them looking freshly twisted longer. Our loc clients come in about once a month to have their hair groomed, if they also have a style done the style is worn for 1-2 weeks depending on lifestyle, then the locs are worn free for 1-2 weeks prior to returning to have their hair groomed again.
