Weaves and braids should only be left in for a minimum of 6weeks and a maximum of 8weeks. Any longer and it becomes counter productive. Sometimes we assume that while the hair extention is in we don’t need to take care of our own hair but it is especially at that time that we need too. Hair needs to be shampooed at least once a week with a stimulating and cleansing formula such as the Diva by Cindy stimulating shampoo and conditioned with the Diva by Cindy deep conditioning peppermint conditioner. After thoroughly drying the braids apply the Diva by Cindy super Gro to your scalp. This formula stimulates the follicle and promotes healthier hair growth. When it is time to remove your braids don’t forget to use a leave in detangler (Diva by Cindy has a leave in recommmended to remove braids and twists etc). Regular mantainence will ensure longer ,healthier hair!www.divabycindy.net
After a relaxer I began to lose hair in the back: What happened?!
July 21st, 2010Here is a true story about how countless women lose hair after a relaxer along the nape of the neck or back of their heads. A few years ago a lady called to say she had received a chemical service and had lost all the hair around the nape of her neck. I quickly asked her if she recalls the stylist changing the towel. Her response was “No she didn’t.” My response was ” Well you have your answer.” After rinsing a relaxer from the hair, it is imperative that after a stabilizer plus (Such the Diva Stabilizer plus) is applied and rinsed after 3-5 minutes ( to close the cuticle). Before neutralizing, CHANGE the towel and after neutralizing CHANGE it again. Why? Because when the towel used to drape the neck is left on after a relaxer and isn’t changed , the traces of relaxer still remain on the hair or nape of the neck and continue to process or dissolve the hair. So scream , kick, yell if your towel is not changed. Enjoy healthy hair!

How To Prevent Hair Breakage
June 21st, 2010
Let me help you Relax your Hair!| Hello Ladies!,
Some of you experience hair breakage and damage from relaxers/perms and consequently decide to go natural or get your hair cut short and start all over again or resort to braiding and weaving to give your hair a break from chemical processes.
My mission is to help you achieve longer, healthier hair and help you uncover why your hair remains dry and brittle after you have followed the instructions to a T on that box perm (which has the picture of the lovely model with the long flowy hair).
Box perms contain CaOH (Calcium hydroxide), Calcium hydroxide has a pH greater than 7 which makes it a lye (alkali). The notion of no-lye is actually a ‘lie’ and most women are also unaware of the effects of calcium on their hair. If the benefits of calcium are to help strengthen the bones and teeth then I leave you to deduce what the effects of calcium are on your hair … Yes hard dry brittle hair !
Hair is not a single strand when viewed under a microscope. It consists of a cuticle, cortex and medulla. With the Diva By Cindy relaxer, your hair will be nourished from the inside out. The Diva By Cindy relaxer is infused with Aloe (Aloe is naturally soothing, moisturizing and healing).
After hair is relaxed with the Diva By Cindy hair relaxer and rinsed, the Diva By Cindy Stabilizer is applied (this is what sets the the DIVA Relaxer apart from the others). Because protein(polypeptide bonds) are broken during a relaxer application, you cannot merely rinse a relaxer and neutralize. The cuticle which was opened during the chemical process needs to be closed and the bonds rearranged. After the Diva By Cindy stabilizer is rinsed (approximately 2-5 minutes on the hair), the Diva by Cindy neutralizer which contains mink oils is then applied to remove all traces of the relaxer. Neutralizer should be applied and rinsed three to four times.
For extra bouncy hair you apply the Diva by Cindy Stimulating Deep Conditioner for a few minutes, rinse and follow with the Diva By Cindy Leave-In Detangler and proceed to style.
Enjoy longer, healthier hair.
Relaxers applied by your stylists help prevent overlap. If you are a pro at applying your own relaxer, it is still a good idea to schedule regular trims with your favorite stylist to help the overall health of your hair.
As always the truth is what I give you. For more information check us out on http://www.divabycindy.net for your free samples and more information.
Love Always,
