A practical Guide to find Mr. Right!

Before you take any of these steps below ensure your hair is looking fabulous,better if it is your own hair and it looks HEALTHY. Surveys have shown that men are attracted to women who look healthy because healthy means happy and men perceive happy women as lots of fun and so make the effort to approach them.

The ball is in your court.

GO FOR IT! "There are no decent single men/women available."
"I'm going to have to settle because there's no one else out there."
"All the good ones are taken."




If any of these excuses sound familiar, you shouldn't give up on your search for love. You just need to rethink your attachment to the scarcity myth that singles suffer from. How? Participate in the following fun three-week experiment. All you need is an open mind, a few spare minutes each day, and a desire to change your dating karma.
Week #1: Start by making eye contact with someone you find attractive (who you don't know) every day for a week. You can do this in the elevator in your office building, while picking out produce at the store, in line for your lunch in a cafeteria, or in a social setting (bar, party, gym, etc.). It's not important where you do this exercise only that you start getting comfortable making eye contact with potential partners.
Week #2: The following week, make eye contact and smile at one person you find attractive every day. Chances are good that you'll get a smile back. It doesn't have to go any further than that (don't expect him/her to ask for your digits). This is simply an exercise in getting comfortable engaging potential partners. Short on time? Suggested locations to smile and make eye contact on the go include the gym, while stuck in traffic, picking up your dry cleaning, or while grabbing a quick bite out of the office.
Week #3: During the third week of this exercise, make eye contact, smile, and make small talk with at least one person you find attractive every day. If the idea of small talk gets you tongue-tied, relax. Start simply and slowly. Remember, this doesn't have to be rocket science. You don't have to think of the wittiest conversation-starter ever. The goal is to just get the ball rolling. Potential conversation-starters can be as simple as:

· Hi. (Seriously, that counts!)
· How's your day going?
· I dig your shoes/tie/suit/dress. Where'd you get them/it?
Once you've opened up the conversation, don't look away. Maintain eye contact, smile, and wait for his/her response. If it invites additional conversation, great! If not, your job for the day is done and you can move on. If for some reason, the object of your attention is rude or dismissive, don't take it personally.
Rejection is part of the dating process.
Rejection is part of the dating process. Chalk it up to experience, let go, and try again tomorrow.
The point of this exercise is to debunk the scarcity myth by showing yourself that there's actually an abundance of potential partners in your everyday life. They may not always be interested, they may not always be available, but by getting into the practice of noticing and acknowledging them, you're more likely to spot the ones who are interested and available when they present themselves to you.
Now, if your routine goes something like this: home, work, gym, home, then you've got to shake things up. At least once a week from now on, break with routine and put yourself in a target-rich environment. Suggested activities include:
1. Stop by the bookstore after work and browse a topic of interest while keeping your eye out for any cuties.
2. You can also recruit your pals for an after work drink at a local hotspot. In addition to hanging with your buddies, scope out the scene for potential partners.
3. Do some research for a fun singles' activity, i.e. online dating, speed dating, a networking mixer, or day at the beach and go for it. Find a cause near and dear to your heart and volunteer on a Saturday or Sunday. You never know who you'll meet!
These are just some of the suggested activities you should engage in. Remember, the goal is not necessarily to score a date, but to get you out of your monotonous routine that may be keeping you from meeting potential partners. The more you put yourself in target-rich environments and get comfortable talking to strangers, the better.
Good luck and happy dating!

A peek into your husbands head.
Why Men Don't Talk?
This article is culled from a men's magazine and it will interest you ladies who need to get inside your man's head and understand how he thinks. Like me you will find some of these comments quite interesting and illuminating. Enjoy!
"As the editor of the biggest men's magazine in the world, I am privy to something many women rarely hear - straightforward, uninhibited guy talk.
Don't be so shocked - guys do actually talk, and not just about Ronaldo's stunning goal. Most women think their man is the strong, silent type (or maybe the oblivious, silent type), and they wonder why he doesn't share his feelings.
But here's the truth: Men do want to open up, about their hopes, their fears, and their passions. Yet put him alone in a room with you, and he often turns into a Sphinx. Why can't he take his eyes off the TV and talk about the state of the relationship, or the finances, or, heck, the backyard landscaping? Why in the world can't he just summarize his day for 10 minutes?
In fact, one in five women say that they typically fight about a man's lack of verbal interaction and 30 percent of men say their failure to communicate is the source of major conflict in the relationship. Why is it this way?
Here's one answer: Because even men who have feelings to share don't always feel comfortable sharing them with their partner. These are some of the reasons why some men often prefer to zip it, rather than delivering the goods:
Guys Are A Little Intimidated
No question, women are expert communicators. They throw questions like Oprah after her third cup of coffee; they're connecting on all cylinders. And like the divine Ms. W, women bring a lot of skill to their game: A special awareness of the people-scape around them, a keen set of emotions keyed to that awareness, and a rich vocabulary they use to talk about anything at anytime.
And they're always practicing their Q&A skills on their many friends, so they're in top talk mode all the time. Men know this. And they also know that more than one-third of women say that men simply can't relate and don't understand women. The result: Men are afraid of saying too much, because saying the wrong thing may get them into more trouble than beating a traffic light.
Guys Need To Decompress
Woman's view: When a man walks in the door, he ought to cough up some of the details about his day. After all, it's been 10 hours since they've communicated, not counting one actual mid-day conversation.
Man's view: Can I please make a beeline to the bathroom? When men reach home, it's like those ultra-marathoners staggering across the finish line in Death Valley. The last thing they want to do is discuss how bright the sunlight was.
Further up on his want-to-do list after arriving home: 14 percent of men want to watch the news, 12 percent are looking for a little private time in the bathroom, and 10 percent simply want to eat dinner. The common theme here: After they've spent a day serving the needs of others, they want to take care of themselves a little.
So when a man is hit with a demand for conversation so closely after returning from the stressful environment of work, he has only one gear left to shift into, and sometimes it's reverse. He's retreat, retreat, retreat.
Guys Are More Comfortable With Actions Than Feelings
Rather than talking about how he "feels," often a man would rather express his love by changing her oil, or bringing home some takeaway, or relinquishing control of the remote (very tough to do for most men because they are control freaks).
And when men do talk, they'd prefer to talk about actions rather than emotions. For instance, a lot of guys would choose to express their long-range faith in a relationship by talking about next summer's vacation plans, not by launching into a soliloquy about undying love.
Both conversations can mean the same thing (that he plans on sticking around); he just prefers to say it with plane tickets, rather than poetry. It's one of the reasons men are more comfortable talking at work (the practical universe) than they are at home (the castle that emotion built). But you can bring out his great communicator by making him feel more like he's operating in work mode, even when the topic at hand is your love life.

Guys Don't Want To Be Put On The Spot
When men talk less and women want more, the scenario can escalate. Like when the bad cop is pummelling the reluctant witness, more silence equals more questions. A full 65 percent of men we surveyed recently told us they don't want their partners to ask them more questions about themselves.
It's clear that some men are just plain tired of feeling like they're on the witness stand. They're not necessarily hiding anything; many guys simply prefer not to have to relate confusing feelings that they may not even understand themselves.
An age-old tactic can make things better: Back off a little, give him room to operate in a conversation, and he's more likely to open up."




Hair Tips From a Hair Aficionado



This article comes from a Blog I stumbled upon on the internet and after reading several of her posts (terminology for uploading your thoughts on the internet regularly) I realised that she knows her stuff and it also helps to have an independent third party to provide hair care information if you understand my meaning. Her blog is called HairbyAzara.blogspot.com you may want to check it out. Below is information she provided which you will find useful. Just a little point to note; all these she ingredients she mentions are in all Natures Gentle Touch products to provide the needed therapy your hair requires. Most especially our Herbalblend Cholesterol treatment which brings your hair back to life in an instant.




Want to PERK UP DULL, DRY HAIR?
YOU NEED:
1. 2 Tablespoons of finely grated fresh ginger. (Ginger stimulates the scalp)
2. 2 Tablespoons of avocado oil (Avocado oil can be bought at a health food shop or grocery store; it is

moisturizing and easily rinses off hair). (Natures Gentle Touch Relaxers, Shampoos and Cholesterol Treatment are fortified with Avocado oil which is a hair strengthening agent)
3. 2 Tablespoons of Warm Water
Instructions:
Combine all the ingredients in a glass bowl and mix. To start, apply the mixture to clean, towel-dried hair. Massage well into scalp. Cover hair with a shower cap or wrap head with a plastic wrap. Leave on hair for about 25 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Shampoo, condition hair and then style.

Have THIN HAIR and WANT MORE VOLUME?
There are products in the market that will stop breakage or keep your hair well-conditioned (Natures Gentle Touch herbalblend Relaxer has antibreakage properties which also condition the hair and our Kit Relaxer is excellent for increasing hair volume of thin hair). First of all, "Volumizers" are products that are designed to make your hair appear thicker than it actually is, but this effect last only temporarily.

Create more volume with your hairstyle by using hair rollers at night.

Thinking about GOING from DARK TO LIGHT?
If you are thinking about coloring your hair it is very important to go to a hair professional as well as to follow these tips:

1. Your hair must not be over processed with relaxers, other colour or over processing products


2. Wait at least 2 (1/2) weeks after your relaxer before bleach or permanent colour is applied.

3. If your hair is brittle or shedding get a series of repair treatments before you colour. (Using Natures Gentle Touch Cholesterol Treatment will repair damaged hair and restore the lost hair proteins as well as mend split ends and stop the hair from breaking)


4. Take a 24-hour patch test to determine any possible reactions you may have to the chemicals.

5. See your stylist at least 2x a month for shampoo and moisturizing conditioning.


6. See your stylist for a colour retouch on your roots every 4- 6 weeks.



ARE YOU GROWING OUT YOUR SHORT CUT?
Follow these pro tips:

1. Keep the nape of your style tapered. As the rest of your hair grows, it will cover and camouflage the back, then you can stop tapering and trim the nape instead, eventually your result will be a bob.

2. One of the best and healthiest sets for your hair during this period is a wrap as it's easy to maintain and hides your growing ends.

3. Style your hair in "twist" sets with double strand twists or rod sets.

4. During the Worst of your in-between stage, braids or a weave can help get you through the transition of letting your hair grow.

I hope the information she provided will help you take better care of your hair.

Secrets to Healthy hair 2

Secrets to Healthy Hair

Begining of a Healthy Relationship




Wow,

The response from our first edition was so fantastic and the comments were great.

But one reader really inspired me.

She said after reading our article on own hair vs. artificial hair she went out and bought Natures Gentle Touch Relaxer and Cholesterol treatment and had a total hair makeover. She and her husband were billed to attend a friend’s birthday party and looked so stunning that her husband was by her side all evening. After the party he still wanted to show her off, so off they went to a movie, dinner and a nightclub. She said she has not had so much fun in one evening and better still her husband could not take his eyes of her.

I guess he forgot who he had married with all that artificial hair.

We also received a note from a lady whose hair just does not relax no matter what product she uses. We sent her mail telling her to ensure her stylist knows her hair type and uses the appropriate relaxer. Often times stylists are using a kit instead of a lye product. For absolute bone straightness use Natures Gentle Touch Lye Relaxer.

Please don’t hesitate to send us mail if you require hair advice. The first 3 readers to send in letters will get a free hairdo.

Enjoy!

The Hot New Hair Style!
Keep up a layer cut bob like Sola's by wrapping hair in a silk scarf at night. In the morning, comb hair down and style with fingertips.


Try it out and let us know the reactions you get. If your stylist is having problems getting it right let us know. Or you may want to visit Bobby’s, Touch of Glamour, Make Me or Down Town they will definitely be able to give you this hot new look.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about having Healthy Hair.

Which hair type (Natural or Artificial) would increase your chances of meeting Mr. Right?

Which hair type will increase your chances of meeting Mr. Right Natural or Artificial?

We decided to send out a questionnaire to men between the ages of 25 - 35 to find out their take on Natural Hair and Artificial Hair. Quite interesting.

When asked if they would approach a woman with Artificial hair? They all said yes but would view them with caution. Asked why? 65% said that they believe that a woman who has artificial hair is fake and lacks confidence and would not be their first choice as a partner. 25% said its difficult to tell who they really are and hold an image in their minds so they would need to meet them several times over. 10% could not say why.

When asked whether they preferred women with Natural Hair? All the respondents said natural. But when they were shown pictures of women with artificial hair 60% preferred the look while 20% preferred natural hair look. 20% could not form an opinion.

When asked if they liked to run their hands through their partner’s hair especially when they were being romantic? All the respondents said only if their partners had their natural hair. Some went as far as saying that artificial hair is a a big turnoff.

When asked if they would mind if their partners wore artificial hair? All the respondents said some of the time.

Well I think that settles it. Artificial hair is just not an everyday look. Except, well all you want is the attention! Which is addictive in itself?






Frequently Asked Questions and Answers.

What should I eat to keep my hair healthy?
Check the ingredients in the food you eat. Are your meals enriching? A lot of foods lack vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. For instance, eating organic can greatly improve hair health, "The closer to nature-raw green foods-you eat, the more healthy your hair will become.
Eating foods rich in silica and sulphur such as onions, garlic, green leafy veggies and eggs. Sulphur, which is often dubbed the "beauty mineral" and can be found in its greatest concentration in hair, skin and nails, promotes circulation and decreases inflammation. Experts theorize that adequate amounts of sulphur can help jumpstart hair growth in people with deficiencies. "Iodine and potassium foods, such as fish and bananas promote growth and thickness of the hair.

As much as you love coffee, sweets, and salty snacks, reducing your intake of salt, sugar, fats and caffeine can also aid in fostering hair health. Instead of coffee or soda, drink water. Since the human body is generally composed of 60-80 percent water, when deprived of it, your cell health suffers. Dehydration directly impacts hair growth, so drinking at least six glasses of water a day is very good for the hair.

Will Extensions hurt my hair?

It's very possible, yes, especially if you've got fine hair or hair that is already damaged.

There are many types of extensions out there, and some of the newest methods involve gluing faux tresses into your natural hair. It sounds like a horror, but if you are careful to choose the high-end path, it's the best method for limp hair because it puts very little weight on your follicles and roots.

Make sure the stylist is using human hair (not synthetic) and has a high-quality bonding agent that is not made out of wax. Extensions that are glued in with wax-based adhesive are inexpensive and can be done fast, but you'll suffer for it when you try to remove them. It's messy and can be seriously damaging to your hair.

The best bonding agents are made of a synthetic material that can handle the high heat that comes with blow drying and curling/straightening irons, and are easily dissolved with a special solvent that turns the glue to dust -- no oily residue and no yanking and pulling on your natural hair when they come out.

Other extensions involve weaving fake hair into your normal hair right at the root. Some methods use metal tubes, others "stitch" the hair together. Neither of these methods is good for your hair, because the possibility of severe breakage at the root is sky-high. If your stylist tries to do this to you, don't stick around. It's a sign of inexperience -- and you don't need to be anyone's guinea pig.

How can I get rid of split ends?
There is no magic solution. All the blow-drying, straightening, coloring and curling breaks down the cuticle of your hair, and the strands literally start to come undone. By the time you notice a split end, irreparable damage has already been done. As we said in the last issue your hair deteriorates from the inside out. It means your hair has run out of its natural oils which can only be replaced by using a relaxer that has a blend of herbal ingredients like Natures Gentle Touch Herbal Blend Relaxer. You have two choices (short of ditching your styling altogether and going au naturel) -- get regular trims every six to eight weeks, and practice aggressive prevention with the steps below:

Comb wet hair gently with a wide-tooth comb to prevent damage.
Use a soft-bristled brush on dry hair.
Invest in an ionic blow-dryer that locks in moisture
Use shampoos and conditioners formulated with herbal ingredients (Natures Gentle Touch Herbalblend Nuetralising Shampoo and Natures Gentle Touch Herbal Blend Deep Penetrating Cholesterol Conditioning Treatment).
Wait at least two weeks between chemical processes. Don't do a perm and a color the same day, for example.
Deep condition your hair at least once a month with Natures Gentle Touch Herbal Blend Deep Penetrating Cholesterol Conditioning Treatment, and also look for hydrating, leave-in conditioners that can soften the look of split ends.
Find styling products with silicone, which is great for smoothing split ends.
Don't be afraid of a trim. Whack off the weak ends and concentrate on making the hair healthier with the steps outlined above. Even if you're growing your hair out, it's a good idea to keep the ends trimmed.

I Used a Relaxer and My Hair Is So Brittle!
Of course it is! Think of it this way: Any chemical strong enough to change your genetically coded tendency for wavy or curly hair into stick-straight hair is going to do some damage. Even if you use a blow-dryer and a flat comb to straighten your hair non-chemically, you're inflicting a bit of a beat-down on your hair. It wasn't the way nature intended you to look.

Reverse some of the chemical damage with deep conditioners. If you're seeing breakage or severe split ends, go to a salon for a trim and start using a leave-in conditioner and cholesterol treatment every week. We recommend Natures Gentle Herbalblend Touch Deep Penetrating Cholesterol Treatment. Do as little blow-drying as possible, and avoid flat irons or any other heated styling devices. Don't color your hair until it regains some vibrancy -- those relaxing chemicals are harsh, and adding another process can lead to hair loss.

Don't braid your hair, wear it in a ponytail, or pull it back in any way that creates tension on the root. Again, you're risking breakage. Comb it gently and keep conditioning. In about two weeks you should see some improvement.

Keep an eye out for signs of more permanent problems, such as spot hair loss, hair breakage at the scalp line, scalp rashes, irritation and potential scarring of the scalp. These indicate the possibility of damage to the follicle, which could inhibit future hair growth. That's serious, and you should see a professional immediately.

Although hair relaxers and straighteners have improved tremendously (don't use a product without natural oils (avocado oil, jojuba oil and sheabutter by the way). Natures Gentle Touch Herbalblend Relaxers are rich in these natural oils which lock moisture in the hair from root to tip. Most complaints we get stem from incorrect use of the products by consumers or improperly trained hairdressers. The bottom line: Don't do this at home and pick a good stylist.

We recommend these fine salons; Bobby's, Make Me, Down Town, and Touch of Glamour.

Outlets where Natures Gentle Touch can be found; Park and Shop, Supa Mega, Goodies, Game, Health Plus, Ever Bright, Yem Yem, Tonysons, Pharma Affairs, Payless, Mate, GoldTwinkle, Every Bright, Adide Stores and several fine cosmetic shops and supermarkets.

Interview with Bobby Eke International Hair Stylist.
Bobby is none of Nigeria's leading stylists known for his skill and dexterity when it comes to creating that stunning look. We interviewed him recently and this is what he had to say on several issues.


Q. What's the one style that makes women younger?
A. I do know that women who try to hold on to long hair because they think it makes them younger are doing themselves a disservice.
Q. How can someone look great in an instant?A. Healthy hair always looks great. If you are one of those who always wants to look great use Natures Gentle Touch Herbalblend Cholesterol Conditioner. It brings your hair back to life in an instant.
Q. Who are some of your celebrity clientele?A. Recently I have worked with Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Ivana Trump and Oluchi the Nigerian Super Model.
Q. What is the number one look requested by your clients?A. Right now my clients want long sexy layers with shape, fullness and most importantly something they find easy to maintain.
Q. Whose hair would you want to work on and style?A. I would love to work with Rihana, not because she needs help but because I love her edgy look, I can tell she is not afraid to take risks.

Facts you need to know.

1. The African hair is the weakest of all hair types.
2. This is mainly because it is curly so nutrients do not get through the hair. So it easily becomes brittle and breaks.
3. Your hair is healthy when the internal part of your hair is well nourished.

4. Each time you relax your hair it is stripped of all its essential nutrients and oils.
5. The flip side is that it is only during the process of relaxing or a process that generates heat that the cuticles open and nutrients can be fed into the hair intravenously.
6. Using a relaxer which contains essential natural oils which contain all the nutrients to nourish and grow your hair ensures you have healthy hair. Natures Gentle Touch Herbalblend Relaxer moisturizes your hair from root to tip. Its ingredients include; avocado oil, jojuba bean oil, shea butter and olive oil. All these natural oils nourish and vitalise your hair.
7. When your hair is being damaged it starts from the inside of your hair; telltale signs are loss of hair elasticity, hair is rough to touch and usually appears wiry and it has no shine.

Own Hair versus Artificial Hair.

The look for most women today is one form of artificial hair or the other. Its either braids, or weave - on. Understandably convenience plays a big role in the choice of artificial hair. The fact that one does not have to go to the salon every week and every morning all one does is get up and go. This makes using these artificial products very practical. Another advantage is the fact that you can practically have any look you want all you have to do is dream it. It does not depend on the length of ones hair just the skill of the stylist. It does have its down sides; sometimes it can be very uncomfortable, hot and irritating. With braids sometimes its just too tight.

A number of comments one gets quite often is the fact that one can walk into an event thinking one has that drop dead gorgeous look and when one scans the room one realizes that one looks like four other people in the room and that is such a let down. This is when wearing your own hair has its pluses you will always be you. Whether the look is from the side or the back view its very rare to have a case of " I thought you were somebody else" .

Healthy hair wise; wearing an attachment for a considerable length of time causes grime to stay on your hair and because it has stayed on for so long and if ones hair is not strong especially because one has left the attachment or braid on for over a month the hair underneath has not been washed and conditioned. The hair becomes brittle and will very easily break coupled with the fact that the hair that is attached with the grime when taking out the braids or weave on can cause a considerable amount of hair to be lost during this process.

Style wise, braids and attachments are not a substitute to ones own hair. They are excellent for that one off look for an occasion, a trip or event. Using them as a replacement for ones own hair will be a sure way to lose your hair. If one wants to wear artificial hair back to back ones real hair should be washed and conditioned at least every two weeks. This will keep ones hair strong and healthy.
A deep conditioning cholesterol treatment is all that is required. One that has herbal ingredients that will replace lost nutrients and essential oils which aid hair growth and keep ones hair moisturized from the root to the tip.

Natural is always better. Why do you think diamonds are a girls best friend? It is because they are perfect even with its flaws.

Healthy Hair gives that look of sophistication.
We are happy that you have chosen to have healthy hair. Natures Gentle Touch range of products guarantees that you will have healthy hair.
