Diva By Cindy Can Bring Your Edges Back In 3 Weeks



Dear Divas,

Tension or traction alopecia is one of the most common types of hair loss that we as women are experiencing today.  The quickest way to lose your hair line is from tight braids, tight weaves, tight pony tails, and lace wigs (worn for extended periods of time).

The remedy:  Stimulating the scalp with Diva By Cindy Stimulating Set and the Diva By Cindy Super Gro - a light creme with peppermint, camphor, menthol and horsetail chamomile, and nettles. 

As Divas we are entitled to keep hair on our heads instead of in the comb and on the floor!



Love always,

Cindy

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,

Cindy


NATURAL HAIR DIVAS: MAINTENANCE TIPS

Hello ladies,

The question I am asked often is "How do I care for my hair in its natural state?".  Natural hair needs moisture and deep conditioning once a month.  Scalp health, as always, is very important.  Shampoo hair weekly with a peppermint based shampoo, such as the Diva By Cindy Stimulating Shampoo, then apply the Diva By Cindy Stimulating Conditioner.  This conditioner can be used with or without a plastic cap.  After rinsing conditioner from hair, apply Leave In Detangler liberally and blow dry, braid, twist, or style hair.  When blow drying natural hair, section in four sections and blow dry downwards to ensure hair has a smooth finish.  When twisting natural hair, apply Purr-fect Edges and twist hair.

Enjoy Divalicious hair!!!

Love always,

Cindy

DIVA BY CINDY'S ULTIMATE TREATMENT



Whatever we do with our hair, we need to let it drink up a hair cocktail in order to keep its moisture levels and pH levels balanced.  The Diva By Cindy Ultimate Treatment with a pH of 3 takes hairs pH back to its optimal range of 5.5.  It also seals the cuticle (first layer) of the hair and not only repairs hair and prevents splitting and shedding of hair, it imparts a glossy shine to hair and makes it more manageable.

How to use Ultimate Treatment:  Shampoo hair 3 times with Diva By Cindy Moisture Shampoo, rinse and apply Hair Treatment and sit under warm dryer or place plastic cap over head and leave in hair for approximately 15 minutes.  Rinse thoroughly and mist hair with Diva By Cindy Leave In Detangler or Hair Polish.  You may proceed to style.  Shedding and breakage stops instantly!

Enjoy Divalicious hair!

Love always,

SHAMPOOING BASICS FOR DIVALICIOUS HAIR!


We have all heard that shampooing too frequently is not good for the hair because it strips oils from the hair.  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  One of the best things you could do for your hair is shampoo it every four days and even more if you choose.  A moisture shampoo (such as Diva by Cindy Moisture and Detangling Shampoo) will replenish the hair and infuse hair with much needed moisture.  For dry, itchy, flaky scalp and thinning hair, a stimulating shampoo (such as Diva by Cindy Stimulating Shampoo with peppermint and menthol) will stimulate circulation and promote healthier hair to grow.  The added benefit of using a stimulating shampoo is its ability to remove dandruff and treat it.  Three shampoos ensure hair is thoroughly cleansed.  Since conditioners are not designed to be effective after more than five days, conditioning every four days will allow the conditioner to build a "conditioning base" causing the hair to become stronger and healthier.  An alternative to constant conditioning is using a Leave In Detangling Conditioner. 

After conditioning your hair, rinse thoroughly and proceed to style. If you tend to blow dry, ensure a light polish is applied to the hair after flat ironing or curling. A flat iron when applied to hair with oil sheen or polish will sizzle, causing damage to hair. At bedtime, a light, silk scarf should be used. Ensure that scarfs, hair brushes, and combs are washed and kept clean.

What is a conditioner and why it should be used regularly?: A conditioner is the key that unlocks the mystery and the secret to beautiful, healthy hair. There are two major types of conditioners - a non-penetrating and penetrating. The non-penetrating conditioner coats the cuticle layer with a microfilm coating. A penetrating conditioner, like the Diva Stabilizer, goes deep into the cortex layer of the hair shaft to restore vital proteins in the hair and seals the cuticle to prevent hair shedding and breakage. Penetrating conditioners are recommended for use at least once a month. This ensures optimal health of your hair.

Enjoy Divalicious hair!


Love always,

HAIR LOSS PREVENTION TIPS

Hair loss either through breakage/shedding and thinning is a very common complaint amongst black woman. The problem is caused by various factors.  Tension or pulling from tight braids, ponytails, barrettes and weaves are some of the reasons women experience 'Traction alopecia.'  Hair loss from stress and medication is another source. Dryness due to the use of products containing alcohol, over processing of hair with chemicals is another cause of hair loss for particularly black women who may get a relaxer and receive hair color of a lighter shade which strips the hair of melanin causing hair to look and feel dry and brittle.

As women with ethnic hair, we have all experienced shedding and the frustration of having our hair on the floor and in the combs, are difficult to deal with.  As a woman who has researched and experienced this problem. I believe I have an answer or remedy, which if used consistently will rectify 99.9% of the problem.

1. Shampoo hair three times with our Moisture Shampoo, rinse and apply Stabilizer Plus.
2. Sit under Warm dryer for 20 minutes or cover hair with plastic cap for 15 minutes.
3. Rinse hair thoroughly, spray Leave-in-Detangler and proceed with styling.  The Diva Leave-in-Detangler penetrates the hair shaft and closes the cuticle.

At bedtime apply Diva Super-Gro sparingly to scalp and tie hair with silk scarf.
Enjoy Divalicous hair!

Love always,

Cindy

HAIR CARE TIPS FOR THE WINTER

Have you wondered how to care for your hair during the cold winter months?  Constant shedding and dryness can be bothersome.  I have some surefire ways to keep your hair Divalicious during this season!

Winterization Tips For Our Hair

Winter can be a trying time for our hair.  The lack of moisture in the atmosphere causes dryness and damage.  Oil and grease are not the answer.  A deep conditioning treatment is needed once a month.  The Diva Stimulating Conditioner is the deepest, best suited product because of its ability to penetrate the cuticle (first layer of the hair).  Shampoo hair with the Moisture Shampoo three times, rinse thoroughly, and then apply the  Stimulating Conditioner.  Cover hair with a processing cap and sit under a warm dryer for 5-10 minutes.  If a hooded dryer is not available, wear the cap for 15-20 minutes.  Rinse hair and apply Leave in Detangler (which fortifies hair with panthenol and other nourishing ingredients).  You may wrap, roller set, or blowdry and style.  Lightly spray Hair Polish for shine.  For a dry scalp,  apply Super Gro (enriched with shea butter, peppermint and other natural emollients for the scalp).  Finally, remember to wear your silk scarf so as to prevent cotton sheets and pillows cases from robbing hair of moisture.  Remember, our hair needs moisture not heavy grease or oils which clog up pores.  Enjoy Divalicious,  healthy hair!!
Love always,
Cindy
