Creme of Nature w/Argan Oil is a must have for all stylist looking to take their client from ordinary to EXTRAORDINARY.

I have been using the new Exotic Oil line since the August Bronner Bros. Hair Expo. I have purposefully used it on all of my clients, making sure to include all hair types. To my liking, it was consistent across the board in silkiness, moveability and shine.

For my Natural clients, I use the Gloss & Shine Polisher for added protection from the heat. Hair is press and either wrapped of pin curled for soft curls. Finished with Gloss & Shine Mist for shine and movement.

For my Relaxed clients, I use Argan Oil Foaming & Wrap Lotion to lock in moisture and style while under the dryer. Followed up with a light amount of Argan Oil Sheen to break up the mold slightly. Style as desired and finish with Gloss & Shine Mist for added shine.

Natural vs. Relaxed

So, I have been receiving emails over the past few weeks regarding the differences between Natural hair and Relaxed hair. In these emails, the common fear factor is HEALTHY.

The difference to me is geared more so to other chemical treatment restraints. Meaning, if you are one that prefers lighter shades of color, then you would benefit from going natural instead of compromising the strength of your hair with the double chemical process (relaxer and high lift color). Getting relaxers applied by a professional stylist will not damage your hair and may aide in certain lifestlye choices; ie. working out, swimming.

These are a few of the questions/concerns that I address in consultations. Your style choice, color, lifestyle, whether or not the client sweats on scalp, future hair/style goals. In either case, healthy hair is certainly possible. Education is the key, and team work is the focus!
