You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Fast-forward to today, I am blessed to be able to say that God has allowed me to become a licensed pharmacist who has been practicing for 21 years. I will always be grateful to my parents for teaching me values, work ethics, and perseverance. Without those attributes, my dream of becoming a pharmacist would not have become a reality. Maintaining Healthy HAIR Lakesha Burgess, Owner/Operator Beauty by Natural Hair Salon With over over 18 years of experience in the professional hair care industry, I've seen various hair textures. However, my top priority is making sure my clients are happy and that the services I provide for healthy hair care is top notch. When my consumers leave Beauty by Natural Hair Salon, they understand the process for maintaining healthy hair until their next appointments. When combing your hair be sure to comb from the ends of your hair to the roots. This process prevents additional knotting. Condition your hair with a steamer twice a month instead of a plastic cap. This simple process helps to rejuvenate the hair. Trim your hair every 8-10 weeks. This is a great way to strengthen your hair. Here are my top six healthy hair care recommendations: Find the right shampoo for your texture (hydrating and frizz control). I also suggest that you use the same brand of conditioner as your shampoo. Do not shampoo hair more than twice a week because it dries out your hair. While shampooing your hair, use your finger tips and not the palm of your hands. Why? Because your palms will cause your hair to tangle and matt. Drink lots of water, add protein, Vitamin C, and whole grain foods to your diet. The proper nutrients helps the growth and development process.
