Black Hair Care: How to Take Care of Cornrows

Cornrows and braids are one of those timeless styles that have crossed all gender and ethnic gaps. In fact, nothing is more beautiful than heedful of intricate braids and rows and no two styles are exactly alike. That is why more and more people are choosing to express themselves and their individual style through braiding and rowing.

But as with all styles, cornrows come with their own special challenges and problems. One of the most obvious problems associated with any tight braiding technique is breakage. While black hair has fewer tendencies to break than Caucasian hair, it can still take a great deal of abuse if the braids are not done and cared for properly. In addition to breakage, you can also experience dull, frizzy and dry hair as a result of wearing cornrows or braids.

To avoid all of these drawbacks and to keep your braids looking shiny and neat, follow the following care tips:

· Choose your artist wisely – As with any artistic field, braiders come in many levels of expertise. Be sure to choose one that has been in the business for a good while. Also, ask to see sample photos of the stylist’s work. This will give you a good idea about their level of expertise.

· Grow hair to proper length - In order to get a good braid, your stylist has to have enough hair to work with. A good rule of thumb to follow on length is 10cm for straight hair and a minimum of 5 cm for curly hair.

· Cleanse without disrupting – Granted, shampooing your hair with all of those rows and braids is not an easy task. To clean down to the scalp without disrupting your style you can use a shower massager or dental water pick.

· Wrap to prevent frizz and breakage – When you’re sleeping, your hair comes into constant contact with your pillow and your movements cause friction and tension to be applied to your braids. This can result in fly away hair, frizz and breakage. To avoid this simply wrap your head with a do rag or cloth before sleeping.

· Keep salon appointments – If your braid artist tells you to get a trim every 6 weeks, do so. And if he or she tells you to get your braids redone within a certain time frame, be sure that you do. This will help keep your braids looking neat and fresh.

Diversion Hurts Your Salon Business and Stylist Livelihoods

Dear Stylists,
There is a battle that is happening in the salon industry that has been going on for quite some time. It’s called diversion, deception and mass product distribution.

Are the products that you use on your clients sold in salons ONLY? or are they sold in Ulta,Beauty Secret, Beauty Trade, Beauty First Walgreen’s, Wal-Mart and other similar outlets at steep discounts?

Did you know that using products that are mass marketed is hurtful to your salon business and your livelihood?

We must call it for what it is when salon products show up in other outlets other than a professional beauty salons or spas it must be boycotted by the salon industry.

It is incumbent on us to inform and educate salon professionals that if you are serious about retailing, if you want to help your bottom line, you must stop selling mass marketing products.

You should sell salon professional products that are only available in salons and nowhere else.
