Congratulations to

THE DOOBY SHOP

Featured Stylist

The Dooby Shop

at Sunset honors

Kizzy Morris

Kizzy Lawanda Morris hails from

nearby Matthews, NC. She be-

came a licensed stylist in 2005

after studying cosmetology at

the historic Dudley Beauty Col-

lege in Charlotte, NC. She just

recently joined Team Dooby Shop

in April of this year.

Kizzy says she knew at t he age of

16 that her career would be in

cosmetology. Aside from her pas-

sion of making her clients look

and feel good about themselves

she enjoys the flexibility of being

able to create her own schedule

and not being tied down to uni-

form or “corporate look.”

She loves the art of hair weaves

and being able to transform a look

into something that her clients

love. She also likes to be able to

educate her clients on how to

maintain the hair style and take

care of the hair in between visits.

What Kizzy likes most about her

field of choice is being able to

service her clients with profes-

sionalism and being a listening ear

while making them look good.

For those aspiring a career in

cosmetology Kizzy shares

some advice:

1. Stay professional

2. Considering today’s

economy stay flexible

3. And don't be afraid to try

it .. You have nothing to

lose and will gain an-

other skill and way to

make extra money if you

don't make it a career

4. And for those longtime

stylists—don’t let the

passion die … find ways

to bring it back to life

The 34 year old stylist aspires to

someday own her own salon

which will be ran with perfec-

tion and love.

Congratulations Kizzy!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

As we prepare for the opening of The

Dooby Shop School of Cosmetology,

The Dooby Shop @ LaSalle has offi-

cially closed as is no longer accepting

clients.

Your favorite stylists are now located at The Dooby Shop @ JCSU/Uptown. We have 5 full time stylists that are available to style you just right. Walks ins are always welcome and

appointments are greatly appreci-ated.

Call 704.348.5720 and ask for Carolyn, Keisha, Kym, Lydia or

Ralisha. The Dooby Shop at JCSU/Uptown is located in the Historic West-End at the corner of Beatties Ford Rd and Mill St and is directly across from Johnson C Smith

University. If you are coming from Uptown look for the “Who Does

Your Hair Sign” and when you leave let your family and friends know that The Dooby Shop styled you.

Please stay tuned for updates for The Dooby Shop School of Cosmetology. We are almost at the finish line and we thank you for your patience.

If you are interested in enrollment please call 704.497.1697.

1. Use a satin pillowcase and/or head wrap at

night. Avoid cotton or polyester sheets and

pillowcases as these cause dryness.

2. Use a humidifier. They add moisture back

to the air and will help hydrate your skin

and hair.

3. Use a shower filter. They remove chlorine

and calcium deposits from the water. A

filter also prevents build up which can lead

to dry and brittle hair.

3 Ways to Promote Moisture in

Natural Hair

Moisture doesn't just come from the

products that we apply to our hair. You

must also take care of your hair just as

you would your skin. Here are 3 ways

to keep your natural hair healthy and

moisturized.

This months guest blog Hair

Troubleshooting by Nicole

of HairLiberty.org. This post

was a guest blog on

CurlyNikki.com. As always,

the blog is not endorsed by The

Dooby Shop salons …. Experi-

ment at your own risk!

No one's hair is perfect! Pinpoint your specific

hair issues and start finding solutions to your

biggest hair problems.

Problem: Dry, Brittle Hair

Your hair feels dry to the touch. Sometimes, it

looks wiry and/or feels stiff. The breakage never

stops.

Your hair feels dry to the touch. Sometimes, it looks wiry and/or feels stiff. The breakage never stops.

Solution: Your hair is telling you that it needs more moisture. Apply a water-based moisturizer once or twice a day. If your hair seems very dry, add moisturizer until your ends are slightly damp and then gently put your hair up while the moisturizer absorbs. Thick, creamy moisturizers are the best choice for damaged or chemically-treated hair. You may also seal this moisture in with an oil.

Problem: Slow Hair Growth Your hair seems to grow slowly or not at all. You have trouble growing your hair past your shoulders.

Solution: First, realize that your hair is always growing. It grows one half inch per month on aver-age. That means with average growth and no break-age, it would take 2 years to have hair the length of a 12-inch ruler. To keep your hair growth on pace, make sure you are getting healthy doses of essential

vitamins and nutrients through food and/or supplements, consuming ample amounts of water and taking care of your ends so that your hair isn't breaking as fast as it's growing.

Problem: Shrinkage When your natural hair gets wet, it shrinks into tight curls, usually to a length above your shoul-ders. You love your curls but you want to enjoy your hair length too.

Solution: Shrinkage is a problem specific to natural African American Hair. If you prefer curls or waves instead of coils, you can reshape your hair as it dries. Read these instructions to learn how to do a "Twist Out" or "Twist N Curl".

Problem: Split Ends, Knots, Tangles Your hair is difficult to comb or brush because it gets tangled and knotted very easily. You find split ends even when you've been taking really good care of your hair.

Split End Terror

Everyone has been terrorized by split ends at

least once. The truth of the matter is they can

be avoided by proper hair care.

Split ends are caused by numerous factors

and the more you can avoid the healthier

your hair will be. Some of the most common

contributors to split ends include excessive

dryness from naturally dry and brittle hair or

extensive heat damage. Other factors include

vigorous brushing and physical stress to the

hair.

Here are some ways to avoid split ends:

1. Regularly condition your hair

2. Protect your hair from the sun

3. Use softer styling tools and brushes

4. Use covered hair accessories

5. Use silk or satin pillowcases

6. Do not brush or strain hair when wet

7. Drink more water

8. Consider hair vitamins

If you get attacked by the split end monster

trim your hair immediately. Be sure to trim

your hair every 4-6 weeks

Techina and Lawanda are both located at The

Dooby Shop @ Sunset location. If you have

concerns about your hair stop by to see them

for a consultation so they can determine

the necessary treatments for your healthy

hair care.

hair into a face-flattering shape while removing old, damaged hair. After that, schedule a trim every 6 to 8 weeks so that vulnerable ends get cut off before they have a chance to split .

Problem: Breakage Small hairs fall onto your shirt, floor, or sink when-ever you comb or brush your hair. Your hair never seems to get longer.

Solution: Breakage is due to extreme damage. Hair weakens first, then splits, and then breaks. Make sure your mane stays clean and moisturized with products that are specific to your hair's

Solution: These problems are easily solved with the right products and a regularly scheduled hair trim. You must use products that condition and rein-force your hair so you can prevent damage before it starts. Healthy, well protected hair can stand up to moderate combing and brushing without breaking. If your hair is already damaged, you must start by having a professional stylist cut off as much of the damaged hair as possible. Split ends make your hair less manageable and cannot be repaired. You can treat them with reconstructing products, but it's better to get rid of existing damage and prevent split ends before they start. A good stylist can cut your

needs. Look for products that contain ceramides, hydrolyzed protein, silicone, shea butter, coconut, olive, and/or avocado oil to soften and strengthen your hair. You also have to find a way to put less stress on your hair. Extreme heat (over 350°F) and chemical treat-ments are the most common causes of breakage for African American hair. Explore new hairstyles so that you can minimize harmful treatments. If you are already using the right products and a gentle tech-nique, it's likely that a trim (by a professional stylist) will give your ends a "fresh start".
