Beauty Quickie: Tweezing your brows does not have to be a painful experience, this beauty routine can be fixed in a pinch (all pun intended). Begin by softening your skin with a cotton ball that has been soaked with warm water or facial cream. Dab the cotton all over the tweeze area before you start to pluck.
“Beauty deprived of its proper foils and adjuncts ceases to be enjoyed as beauty, just as light deprived of all shadows ceases to be enjoyed as light.”

It is a misconception that since black hair tends to be on the coarser side that it has a stronger resilience to breakage. The texture of our hair does not make it stronger, it still needs protection and the infusion of natural oils and hydration to remain healthy and durable. Using the right products will help you to grow your hair and keep it flourishing.

Hair Quickie: It is a good habit to brush hair every night from root to ends in order to promote growth by stimulating the scalp as well as give tresses a healthy sheen. Locks will look more luminous due to the distribution of natural oils throughout the shaft caused by the brushing action.
