D'va Drops: Do Hair Oils Make Hair Grow?

 I've been seeing so many posts lately about hair oils not stimulating hair growth.

I beg to differ. Yes, as a cosmetologist this may be unpopular opinion, but I stand by my words.

I understand as a hair professional that oils can clog the pores. I also know it is important for us as black women to cleanse our hair & scalp more often. Going a month or 2 months without shampooing or detoing the scalp in some way is very unsanitary.

I'm not judging but I'm judging. I can't be too critical, however, because there have been plenty of times I myself have fallen behind on my hair routine. This is why having a beauty professional meaning a licensed cosmetologist or a natural hair care specialist is so critical to the overall health, growth & manageability of our hair. 

If going to the salon is just out of your budget (while I do subscribe to the notion that we pay for what we want), then at least have a trusted person-a girlfriend, mother or sister to assist with maintaining your hair on a consistent bases. What is consistent? Once a week to every 2 weeks. The frequency of shampooing, conditioning & moisturizing the hair will depend on how oily your scalp gets & how active you've been. so, if you know you just came from vacationing at the beach, the 1st main stop you should be making is to the salon to get a deep cleanse, etc.  

There have been several times I cam remember my hair & even my brows becoming thicker or growing back in due to the proper hair oils. This is why I stand by my words & have to respectfully disagree with the naysayers.

Now, there is a hair care company that I plan to support because of their dedication to hair & scalp health. They also have a serum I've been meaning to order. As a matter of fact, let me go grab the order form now. I met one of the reps (the sister to the founder & creator of the brand) at a New Orleans hair show, & really appreicated the time she took to educate me on their products & hair restoration in general.

Ok back to the program....do not skip the nourishing products your beauty professional recommends. If by chance they don't mention any, please do yourself a favor & request the products they're using on your hair & scalp if you're satisfied with the results. It would benefit you all around if you are using the same products at home.  No need in working against what the professional is trying to achieve, which undoubtedly healthy, shiny, bouncy, beautiful, thriving hair.

If you've followed D'va Styles you know we have a hair & body oil called D'va Drops. We have 2 different oil options. The 1st is the D'va Drops Gold. It contains potent jamaican black castor oil, olive oil & lemon grass. The 2nd option is the D'va Drops Platinum. It contains 9 different oils including rosemary oil, tea tree, peppermint oil, castor oil, olive oil, black seed oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil & lemon grass.

Why lemon grass? Lemon grass aids in headache and stress relief. D'va Drops was re-created during the pandemic so we wanted something to assist with soothing the stressful situations that time brought about. As mentioned, the drops can be used on the hair, scalp & body. You only need a very small amount. I barely use a swipe of oil on my brows.  I actually now have hair past a scar I've had for so many years. For all that time no hair would grow past that point & now I have brow hair all the way to the tip. YEH!!

You may also wonder why jamaican black castor oil is in both D'va Drop oils...

Well, castor oil is the only "proven" (in a lab) oil to thicken & stimulate growth. Now, there are others such as rosemary, tea tree & peppermint oil all of which help bring blood flow to the surface of the scalp & in turn promoting hair growth.

Welp folks, I hope this post encourages you to still have or regain your trust in growth oils. If you're needing some oil for your clean scalp then text us at the number below. We also offer different shampoos & conditioners including a hydrating, rosmary & moisturizing option (not our brand but tried & true over the years).  Lastly, the oil can lock in moisture in the hair if you're wearing twist styles, 'wash & go's" & to seal the ends of pressed or blown out hair after the moisturizer has been applied before bed.

Need quality brushes, combs & head wraps? We offer those at our sister company, a hair boutique Golden Goddess 28 Boutique www.gg28boutique.com

Starting A Business: Get It Done, No Excuses!

FEAR!!!
That's what stands in our way of success. Worrying about finances, other's opinion, our self-perception, and the list goes on & on.

I'm in the hair business & at one time I worked as an admissions rep at a cosmetology school. I can't count how many times I had ladies call & tell me they were interested & always had a passion for hair, but just didn't know how to go about it. Or, maybe they were stuck between 2 career options, or maybe they needed to check with their husband...EXCUSES!!

If you have a passion to do something, whatever the field, I'm telling you to go for it. Don't let anyone or anything stand in your way. I have kids & I have a husband, but I was a single mom for quite some time & I had to make it work. Going to cosmetology school, doing hair in the evenings. Eventually, working in a salon during the day, going to get the kids, spending time with them, having them a sitter just to go out to client's homes to do hair again. I wasn't charging a lot at all. I was trying to get my feet wet, prove myself, get my skills up & build a business.

I want to challenge all of you reading this post to be motivated & inspired to go after those dreams that are just burning away inside. Don't allow those flames to die out. Keep fanning those flames with each day that you are blessed to see; whether that means handing out business cards &/or flyers, going to networking events, calling people to introduce your business, going to businesses to invite others to your business or event, creating your logo, orchestrating your photo shoot, finding a team of people to work with....whatever pertains to your business, I want to challenge you to email that to me DAILY!!!

If no one else is encouraging you to pursue your dreams, I want to encourage you to do so starting Today, not tomorrow, next week, next month or next year.
Not after your finances are better, the baby starts school, etc.

I look forward to celebrating all of the small (yet so significant) accomplishments. Even if you have some setbacks, don't allow them to discourage you for long & Definitely don't allow them (or others) to make you lose site of your goals. Life happens, but we have to make the most of life. We only get one!
Let's start today making the most of God's blessings. Write It, Plan It, Execute It.

Today's Assignment:
*Send me your dream(s) (Email: Tasha.dvastyles@gmail.com) & comment on this post
*What did you do today to help accomplish it/them/
*What are your goals for the remainder of the week to help reach your goal(s)?

I can't wait to see all of the wonderful ideas you all have. I bet they are more attainable than you think. You just have to get the ball rolling, build up momentum & next thing you know you've reached your destination. "Get It Done; No Excuses!"
