LOOKING FOR HAIR CARE EXPERT
PLEASE ADVISE WHO SHOULD I CONTACT ABOUT MY QUESTION?
- I'm a 40-something African American woman. I'm afraid that DUAL CHEMICAL PROCESSES will DAMAGE my healthy hair.
-
I relax my hair. But I don't color the grays. My hair is really gray in a patch in the front with light salt and pepper on the sides. Why do I need your help? I don't know how to balance coloring the grays and relaxing the hair. I'm being promoted at a Fortune 100 company into a position with high visibility and management of a staff in the hundreds. I've been told by a male mentor to make my hair more stylish.
Why haven't I colored my grays thus far? I've been concerned about chemicals from dual processes of relaxing and coloring grays.
A hairstylist gave me this advice:
Do not relax (touch-up) and color gray DURING THE SAME VISIT. I agree.
She said wait 2 weeks and 1 washing to color gray AFTER the relaxer.
AND NEVER relax hair that has been colored within the 3 weeks prior.
Schedule for Relaxer is every 8 weeks.
Week 01 = Relaxer (touch-up)
Week 09 = Relaxer (touch-up)
Week 17 = Relaxer (touch-up)

News Pitch: Major Problem for Black Women Solved!
Black women, like other women, have many issues that they need to address. However, one particular issue seems to be more nerve wrecking than others. The dilemma that comes when you move to a new city, hate your current hair stylist, or have a hair emergency while traveling will drive you insane. I know, because I've been there and done that. I've relocated 5 times since graduating high school and I've had to find a new stylist every single time. Some of the cities that I lived in had a small black population and that made it even more difficult, but I prevailed through trial and error.
This is where my new site www.MyBlackTresses.com comes in. It's a great new site that's going to launch August 1st, 2012. Learn more about about us: About Us and Welcome to MyBlackTresses.
Here are some quick facts:
MyBlackTresses.com has over 1,000 salons and stylists that cater to black, African American, Latina, and multicultural women in the US and beyond.
Our site makes it easy to find, contact and review salons and stylists. It's better than a Yelp search for "black hair salon."Our review function allows visitors to gain feedback from real women.
Our best feature is that we also highlight stylists from non-ethnic salons who provide ethnic haircare services. These folks are the hardest to find for the typical black woman. It also encourages non-black stylists and salons to service women of color.
In honor of our launch we are hosting giveaways (5 total) during the month of August to help drive salon and stylist reviews.
Our listings are up to date, unlike our competitors who do not follow-up with their listed salons and/or stylists.
Our listing categories include: natural hair, relaxed hair, twists, locs, kids, mobile (traveling stylists), Dominican and international.
Basic listings are 100% free for salons and stylists.
We feel that we've done a great job pulling together this resource for your readers, black women and multi-racial women everywhere.

(BPRW) Black BeautyShop Health Foundation Launches ‘Beauty N Black Wellness Tour’
- American Diabetes Association and AIDS Healthcare Foundation are National Supporters • Saturday, June 30th Kick-off in Los Angeles -
(BLACK PR WIRE)--LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In an effort to improve the health of African American families, the Beauty N Black Wellness Tour will turn beauty salons into centers for health information and screening, starting with a June 30th launch in Los Angeles. Women visiting the salons will have the opportunity to talk with experts about common health concerns and to get screened by a health professional for diabetes, high blood pressure and HIV. The Black BeautyShop Health Foundation (www.blackbeautyshop.org) will produce the nine-city tour in collaboration with the American Diabetes Association and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

Women are the health CEO of the family, said Margo LaDrew, executive director of the Black BeautyShop Health Foundation. Given that black women visit the salon an average of 2.5 times a month, the beauty shop is an ideal place to educate women and equip them with practical tools for improving their family's health.
Ms. LaDrew is an expert at the intersection of beauty and health for African American women. She is a former divisional sales manager with Carson-Johnson products, which is a leader in hair care brands for black women. Additionally, Ms. LaDrew spent more than four years with the Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program. Under that organization's banner, she assisted the founder in developing, launching and implementing all programs, coordinated the national tours and also produced the African American Men's Health & Empowerment Summits. All told, Ms. LaDrew helped to deliver health screenings to more than 25,000 men in 26 cities before stepping down in June 2011.
Spurred by her success in the arena of black men's health, Ms. LaDrew founded the Black BeautyShop Health Foundation, whose mission is to turn Black women's interest in beauty and personal care into opportunities for raising their awareness of how to prevent and manage disease. In addition to bringing health information into beauty shops, in 2012 the Beauty N Black Wellness Tour will sponsor free day-long health and beauty expos in Atlanta; Chicago; Dallas; New York City; Oakland, CA; Richmond, VA; Washington, DC, and Philadelphia.
Susan Evans, MD, a nationally acclaimed dermatologist and media personality who serves as Ambassador for the initiative, said, "As a dermatologist, I know that skin is the window to overall health. I believe the Beauty N Black Wellness Tour will help Black women make the connection between external beauty and internal health." Toward that end, Dr. Evans will make personal appearances at events in Los Angeles and several cities during the tour.
American Diabetes Association National Collaboration
Recognizing that diabetes impacts nearly 15 percent of African Americans over age 20, the Black BeautyShop Health Foundation is collaborating with the American Diabetes Association (the Association), which will leverage its relationships with local health care agencies and health professionals and provide diabetes educational materials.
According to Earnestine Walker, director of African-American and older initiatives for the American Diabetes Association, the tour will enhance the work of the Association, which has a long record of commitment to black communities. "I am delighted to collaborate with the Beauty N Black Wellness Tour," said Ms. Walker. "Sometimes women neglect themselves to take care of others. But by encouraging women to take better care of themselves inside and out, this program helps women get healthier and take action to improve the health of their families and communities."
AIDS Healthcare Foundation National Partnership
Given that nearly half of those living with HIV in the United States are African American, the Beauty N Black Wellness Tour is partnering with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) to provide women with life-saving information about preventing and managing HIV/AIDS. In several tour cities, AHF and its local partners will provide free rapid HIV testing on one of its mobile testing vans.
"The AIDS epidemic is hitting African Americans harder than any other ethnic group in the US," said Whitney Engeran-Cordova, senior director of public health for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, a global organization that is the largest provider of HIV/AIDS medical care in the United States. "It is essential that we find effective methods for communicating with Black women," he continued. "We believe the Beauty N Black Wellness Tour will make a difference because it places HIV education and testing in a context that is relevant to black women's lives."
Los Angeles Event
On June 30, the Beauty N Black Wellness Tour will launch in salons throughout Los Angeles. Participating salons include: Brenda's Talk Of The Town; Chic Hair; Detour Hair Studio; End Results Hair Salon; Edmondson's The Ivory Coast Hair Salon; Gaynale & Company Beauty Salon; Hair Architects Barber & Beauty Salon; Indulgent Concept Hair Studio; K Salon; Pacific Beauty College of Los Angeles; Shear Creations; Spa 313 Salon; Tame Salon; and The Last Tangle. Activities will also take place at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza's Community Room.
Medical partners for the event are: Mu Chi Chapter Nursing Sorority; Practicing the Art of Dentistry (Raymont Johnson, Jr., DDS); Santa Monica College School of Nursing; and Westwood College Medical Assisting Program.
The sponsors of the Los Angeles event are: Clear Essence; Los Angeles Region Champions for Change; Los Angeles View Park National Council of Negro Women, Inc.; PhRMA; and Susan G. Komen for the Cure - Los Angeles County.
