Consumer Demand For Hair Extensions, Braids, Dreadlocks Increase Hair Loss in African Women
|
Braids, Hair Extensions and Dreadlocks have become the latest trend in hair styling and growing in popularity. Improper removal of these hair styles have increased hair loss and hair thinning, according to Take Down Products Africa Ltd. Although braids, hair extensions and dreadlocks seem to be the latest trend, they actually date back to 4th Century B.C. with the Egyptians, and have continued to grow strong ever since then.

Many Salons And Retailers Need To Be Informed About The Suffering Of African Women
|
|
Countless numbers of women are secretly suffering from improper removal of hair extensions, braids, braiding hair extensions, add-on hair, fusion, bonding hair glue, weaves-hair attachments and dreadlocks. It is affecting the self esteem and self worth of women and several growing girls as well. Add-on hair should be worn for enhancing beauty-not because of self inflicted balding and hair damage.

You Are What You Absorb
|
US government regulations for cosmetics were developed over forty years ago when scientists believed that lotions and other products applied topically didn't have a significant impact on the body. At that time the skin was considered a protective barrier that prevented chemicals from entering the body.

Leadership 102: True Leaders Build Great Successors
|
True leaders don't impose their successor; in fact, to involve in the succession game is belittling to a true leader. A greater leader does not tele guide his successor; he does not meddle: a great leader just builds successors. The plural of course is important and intentional in conveying my point. Great leaders in history leave a coterie of immediate aides and associates, who themselves will later emerge as leaders.

Segun Gele…a phenomenal talent
|
|
Well I’ll be damned! My first encounter with Segun was a text message I got from him on the day of the engagement. “Ms Odegbami…Remi needs you! You NEED to check your voice mail and free up space so others can leave urgent messages for you” folks don’t usually tell Queenb what she NEEDS to do so right off the bat I was a fan! I was very impressed with the man I met, so full of life, so much personality, a huge goofball and he is the life of any party!

Gele - Basic Steps for Wrapping Geles
|
"Gele" is a Yoruba {Nigeria, West Africa} word for a female Headwraps.
A "Headwraps" is a long piece of cloth that you tie and tuck on your head to create different looks. Unless you're cheating you never secure the gele with safety pins. If you tied it tight enough, the material wouldn't come off. If it loosened you could always retie it.

Gele -Wearing Headwraps
|
|
In the late 1960s, I joined a cultural nationalist group whose women wore African clothing. Well, it wasn't real African clothing since way back then African Americans didn't know anything about kente cloth, or mud cloth or any other type of African fabric. What we called "African garb" {from garment?} for women were caftan flowing long dresses that were made out of some kind of printed African {or what we considered African looking} fabric. If you knew how to do it, or could find someone who did, you'd then top this dress off with a gele.

Money Couldn't Buy This....
|
|
As amazing as my life seems, I am really not happy, I have a husband who adores me. I am a partner in one of the most prestigious law firms and my man is an Investment Banker at Goldman Sachs together we make a quarter million annually. My husband and I met about 6 years ago at fundraiser and it was love at first sight, his body was immaculate and his smile could have been a poster board for a Colgate Ad. After a while I became unhappy. Why? I suggested we see a doctor but my sweet husband was far too embarrassed. I managed to convince him after about a year of abstinence. On hearing the bad news I felt my heart drop as the doctor calmly informed us that my husband had ED, Erectile Dysfunction. Oh! My God!

African Marriages As Business Ventures (Conclusion)
|
The grouse from women mostly center on the inadequacies of men: they don’t send flowers; they don’t know how to partner with women when it comes time for strategic decisions; and that men have low self-esteem and would not readily accept a woman who is smarter and or who earn more. Complain about sex is generally kept under rap. Even so, a typical Nigerian woman has a fiery tongue -- lashing out at men for being two-minute lovers.
