This month The Dooby Shop

spotlights our wonderful staff

member—Audrey Tinsley

Affectionately known to her

friends, family and The Dooby

Shop staff as “Twix”, Audrey is a

senior at West Charlotte High

School where she is currently

enrolled in the Cosmetology pro-

gram. Upon graduation, she will

have earned enough hours to be

take the North Caroline State

Board exam to become a licensed

stylist. She started as an intern in

2012 and was placed with The

Dooby Shop through the Y-

Acheivers community support

program.

Originally from Detroit, MI, the 17

year old found her love for doing

hair when she would watch her

older sister do her. From seeing the

styles her sister created she also

started to try different hair styles.

As a stylist in training, Audrey says

that she loves that she has the

ability to make someone feel better

about themselves with a nice hair

style. She says that she doesn't

dislike anything about her profes-

sion of choice because it has al-

ways been her dream and says “I

don't think I can ever dislike some-

thing that I love doing”.

Q: Favorite style that she created

A: The first hairstyle that she did

was a quick weave for her sister

Q: Advice to aspiring stylists

A: Find a way to keep yourself

motivated and set yourself apart

from others. Make every style

picture perfect. Concentrate on

perfecting one skill before moving

to the next

Q: What celebrity would you like

to style

A: Rihanna because her style is so

unique and different

This 17 year old knows exactly

what she wants. Working in a

salon for a year has given her a

step in front of others her age and

has prepared her for the life of a

stylist.

After passing the state board her

goal will be to work towards own-

ing her own salon in California.

“Natural”:

These treatments don't have the tried-and-true chemi-cals you'll find in typical black hair relaxers, such as sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide, or chemicals you'll find in curling perms like ammonium thioglyco-late. Your hair is straightened with the active ingredient keratin, a protein very like one of the components of human hair. Keratin works to "naturally" straighten the hair. Fans of the treatment claim that it actually strengthens the hair since keratin is so similar to hair's natural protein.

Previously Processed Hair

Anyone who relaxes her hair knows that some coloring processes are especially harsh on top of already pro-cessed hair. You also can't apply a relaxer to previous-ly relaxed hair without worry ofoverprocessing. Howev-er, a keratin treatment works well on colored, highlight-ed or previously processed hair.

How Long it Lasts:

Unlike relaxers and curly perms, this treatment gradual-ly washes away. You'll notice your hair's natural curl return over time, anywhere from six weeks to a few months. To get the longest lasting results, use sham-poos that have a neutral pH.

You like your hair straight, but you're looking for

alternatives to pressing, ironing or relaxing to get

that glossy mane you want. Maybe you want to try

a keratin treatment, which has become increasingly

popular in recent years. Known by several different

names, including Brazilian Keratin Treatment (BKT

for short, an acronym you'll often see on various

hair forums) and Brazilian straightening treatment,

as well as various brand names, this is the newest

craze for getting silky straight hair. Is a BKT suitable

for black hair and if so, what can you expect?

It's officially fall! I can't believe how fast

the summer flew by. Now that the season

is changing, it's time for our hairstyling

routines to change, too. Here's a quick

snapshot of my full hair care routine for

the cooler weather.

1. An hour before I shower, I apply a deep

conditioner/yogurt treatment to my dry hair

and don a plastic cap. To generate heat,

sometimes I'll wear a beanie or my heat

cap without microwaving it. 2. Hop in the shower and rinse.

3. Thoroughly saturate hair with water and

divide into two sections (left and right).

4. Cleanse hair with co-wash or mild shampoo

one side at a time. Rinse thoroughly.

5. Generously apply a slippery conditioner,

usually Aussie Moist or Tresemme Naturals,

to both sides in a smooshing motion.

6. Pass my head back under the water stream

for a second, for better distribution and added

slip.

7. Add even more conditioner

8. Clip the hair up and out of the way to com-

plete shower rituals. 9. Take down the right side and section out the back piece near my neck. Pin up the rest. I finger detangle thoroughly and then, using the Denman, brush through once or twice for smoothing and curl clumpage. The Denman creates what looks like finger waves on my conditioner-laden curls. I continue this

step section by section. Sometimes, I cre-ate a hair sandwich where I'll use one hand to hold the brush and the other hand to smooth the hair as I pull the brush through. I end up with about 6-8 sections per side.

10. Once all the hair on each side has

been finger detangled and smoothed and

clumped with the Denman, I rinse the right

side. I hold the clumped curls in the palm

of my hand and stand under the shower

stream, allowing the water to gently rinse

away the conditioner. I do the same on

the left. I rinse out 100% of the condition-

er.

11. I eliminate excess water by smoothing

my hair between my flat hands using what

AFRICAN AMERICAN HAIR CARE

African American hair grows from the roots, and out of the opening. Slightest negligence on you part will make it diffi-cult for you to take care of your hair. It is also necessary to use the right hair product. The Afro-American hairs are basically made of keratin, a protein made up of amino acids. There is a need to nourish the inside and outside of hair. Points to be kept in mind :

Avoid combing your hair too much.

Do not braid your hair too tight as this leads to breaking of hair.

Use hair straighteners or hot combs.

Using hair straighteners may cause breakage of hair. Read the direction on the label to avoid such situation.

Oil your hair to moisturize them.

Add colorful beads when you braid your hair.

Get your hair trimmed after six weeks.

Shampoo your hair at least twice or thrice a week. After a rinse, do not for-get to moisturize your hair.

Wear a satin or silk scarf before going to sleep. This would prevent air from tangling, dryness or frizz.

Lawanda is 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.

Even definition

Thorough detangling

Decent drying time if you use a quick drying curl cream

Cons:

The Denman, (aka Shredder) and I have a long and

sordid history... a love/hate relationship, if you will. I'm pretty

sure it caused split ends in the past, but I was also using it

differently. I was using it to define my curls later in the styling

routine on hair that was just damp with a little leave-in on it. I

I call "the praying hands method." 12. Finally, I apply my cream styler of choice in a smooshing motion (not raking, as I don't want to disturb the curls I just created with the Denman) to the right side, then the left. I finger twirl any frizzy bits and smooth product down the length of any curls that didn't clump, using my fingers like a flat iron. I usually sit under the dryer for 15 minutes to get things going and air dry the rest of the way. Sometimes, I'll hit the roots with the blow dryer for extra hangage.

While I love this hair styling routine, I have to admit it does have

its pros and cons:

Pros :

Massive curl clumps — that Denman is a beast!

found that it had more drag and pulled more hair out, as well as

left my roots very puffy. I've also used it as my sole detangling

tool with disastrous results. Using it after finger detangling to

clump my curls in the shower, protected by a thick layer of condi-

tioner, may be the way to go. I'll pay attention to my ends and

keep y'all posted.

The Denman leaves me shrinkier, even when wet, so you know

what it is, lol. My hair dries much shorter than usual, which is actually

not a con for me because it exaggerates the shape of my cut.

Community Support: Million Youth March of Charlotte

Healthy Hair Tips by: Lawanda

(cont). Nikki Walton AKA @CurlyNikki

meet in a public forum to address issues that

teens and young adults are facing today. The

goal of the organization is more than just the

typical “stop the violence movement” but to

find alternatives for youths in lieu of the street

life that seems to be so appealing.

The next general meeting of MYMOC will be

Thursday, November 7 at 7pm. The meeting

will be held at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church

located at 517 Baldwin Avenue in the historic

Cherry Community.

The organization is asking for youth ages 13-

25 to come out to be involved in the planning

and take part in discussions. They are also

seeking agencies and organizations geared

towards youth to be involved.

There have been at least 40 murders in

Charlotte this year, but it was the murder of

Davion Funderburk back in July that

Charlotte natives and West Charlotte Alum

Mario Black and Shawnta Clark decided that

enough is enough! The two met and begin

to make plans for a Million Youth March of
