When it comes to purchasing beauty products, no place comes close to Sally Beauty Supply. They are one of the few stores that stock products that fit the needs of women and men of all ethnicities. Not only do they stock a number of products, but unlike salons, they offer reasonable price ranges. It’s hard to narrow down the best beauty products; however, there is a brand found at Sally’s that lives up to its promises.

Sally’s sells a line of products calls Dr. Miracle’s. The full line included hair care products as well as skin care products. I personally have used the hair care products on myself and my daughter. The products work on any hair type, but they are especially good for African Americans whether they wear their hair natural or relax it.

Dr. Miracle’s 2 in 1 Conditioning Shampoo works as soon as it hits your head. Your scalp tingles as it lathers up. It feels like it’s massaging your head as it cleans. Unlike a lot of shampoos, it doesn’t leave a residue on the hair that makes it look dull. The only drawback of the tingling sensation is, when I first used it on my daughter’s head, she wasn’t too crazy about it. Eventually, she grew accustomed to the feeling and actually enjoyed the feeling.

Another Dr. Miracle product sold at Sally Beauty Supply is the Damaged Hair Medicated Treatment. When we first moved to Arizona, my daughter spent a lot of time in pools because it’s sunny most of the year. Because she was in water more, her hair was suffering. I don’t chemically treat her hair since she’s so young, but I needed to use something to stop the breakage. My mother actually bought the Damaged Hair Medicated Treatment for me. In less than a week, her hair was manageable and started thickening again.

The final product that I will profile is the Anti-Breakage Strengthening Creme by the same company. This product reinforces the affects of the Damaged Hair Medicated Treatment. I primarily use this one because I experiment with my hair a lot, including wearing wigs. Wearing wigs, in particular, wears the hair out. So, using the Anti-Breakage Crme and letting my hair breathe counteracts the affects of constant hair changes.

I’m not sure of other Sally’s store, but the ones that I frequent do not keep the Dr. Miracle’s products on the shelves. They keep a display box and the actual products are in the back of the store. It’s a lot cheaper to purchase them at the store as opposed to purchasing them online because you don’t have to pay shipping. The cost of the products ranges from $4.00 to $10.00.

Sally Beauty Supply had a number of other products, but these are the ones I buy the most.

Hair bonding glue is usually used when applying “tracks” directly to the head or on a wig cap.  Although it is one of the most inexpensive methods of applying a hair weave, the cost to natural hair can be detrimental, making the use of hair bonding glue potentially not worth it.  In addition to the glue being a pain to remove, if not removed properly the glue will leave a sticky residual on the hair, which can cause hair damage, and possibly cause hair to fall out.  To prevent this outcome, there are several ways to ensure hair bonding glue is completely removed and to gaurantee that natural hair remains safe and healthy. 

Hair bonding glue remover shampoo is sold in most stores, and is applied just as a regular shampoo would be.  Wet hair and massage the remover shampoo into the hair focusing mainly on the scalp until the tracks begin to loosen up.  When the tracks are loose enough they will slide out gently with a small tug.  Once all of the tracks are out, rinse hair, then shampoo and condition hair with whatever other products are available.  After the conditioner is out, all hair glue should be removed.  If there is still some residual hair glue left on the hair or scalp, use oil sheen or hair oil to saturate the area.  Then, whatever residuals are left should comb out easily.

If hair bonding glue remover shampoo is not available, or if just looking for an inexpensive option to remove hair bonding glue, there is a product that can be helpful that is found in most kitchens. Olive Oil is very helpful in removing hair glue, although it can be messy.  For this method of removal, in addition to the olive oil, a towel should be draped on the shoulders, and a comb should be handy.  Saturate each track one by one in olive oil, massaging along the way.  Once tracks are saturated, they should slide out quickly. For the tracks that are a little harder to remove, just add a little more olive oil and continue to massage scalp.  Once all of the tracks are removed, comb hair thoroughly.  If there residual glue on the hair or scalp, it should all be out after a shampoo and conditioner treatment.

A lot of people stay away from hair bonding glue because of the effects on the hair when not taken care of and removed properly, but, by following these tips, removal of hair bonding glue should never be a problem again.

Infant skin would be a delicate organ and is more susceptible to environmental and manmade insults, much more than the adults do. Many mothers worry unnecessarily about keeping the babies skin exceptionally clean, but, over indulgence in such thoughts and actions might lead to effects that in turn could actually harm the babies’ skin.

Keeping your babies’ skin nice and healthy would be a combination effect of many factors. It may be influenced by the surrounding air, substances we apply on the babies’ skin, foods and fluids given to the baby, genes, bathing practices…etc. Many of these factors would be under our control and can be modified in order to avoid insults to the babies’ skin. Knowing these factors and the methods to modify and use them accordingly would make you care better for your babies’ skin.

Let us see, some of these measures leading to better care.

* Avoid the applications of regular soaps and bathing shampoo to the babies’ skin and make use of a mild soap which does not scrub away the protective layers on the skin.

* Use mildly warm water for the baths and always avoid hot or cold water.

* Give the bath in the late morning or after play activity before a feed.

* Reduce the bath time to 10 minutes as more time the baby spend on soapy water, more drier the skin will become.

* Make sure the skin folds and the areas under the neck are cleaned properly as these places are more likely to become dirty.

* Keep the surrounding environment warm at the time of the bath.

* Dry the skin with a soft cloth and do not rub hard in order to dry but rather pat dry the skin.

* Apply a moisturizing lotion into the babies’ skin to retain the existing moisture from dissemination.

* Dress the baby in soft and light clothing depending on the environment.

* Make the baby to drink plenty of fluids as it would help in the moisturizing process of the skin.

* Prevent the skin from directly being exposed to sun light and wearing caps and other protective gear would be indicated when taking the baby to such places. It would be a good idea to limit the exposure to sun rays during the times from 10 am to 2 pm as it would be the most intense period of UV rays.

* Add plenty of vegetables to the babies’ diet if weaning had started, and depending on the requirement, follow your pediatricians advise for nutritional supplements.
