When your inner beauty shines the world will notice! This holds true to two Former Beauty Queens Kayla Martell-Miss Delaware 2010, and Sandra Dubose-Gibson-Mrs. Black North Carolina 2011. Both ladies suffer with an incurable alope-cia condition; however, they both set their minds on a goal to earn their State Crown

hair

When Inner Beauty Shines:Meet Two Former Beauty Queens Who Have Alopecia

and succeeded! They have both made a powerful impact of bringing aware-ness to alopecia. Society puts so much emphasis on a woman’s external beauty, and hair is essential in most cases. When you read both of these inspiring stories of Kayla and Sandra, you will see how inner beauty continues to shine!

Page 17: February 2013 - Midwest Black Hair Magazine

16 MIDWEST BLACK HAIR MAGAZINE - February 2012 17 www.MidwestBlackHair.com

Sandra Dubose is clearly on her way to becoming an international, multi-media success. The Bald Beauty Queen of Self-Esteem is a motivational speaker and professional performing artist with an inspiring personal story that has made history, and national head-lines. She is also the 2011 Mrs. Black North Carolina.

Sandra has overcome many life challenges including Alopecia Areata, the autoimmune disease that caused her to lose all of the hair on her body starting at the age of 25. She has learned firsthand how to heal emotional wounds and build healthy self–esteem. Sandra is an Empowerment Specialist, teaching others how to transform their

pain into power, to consciously create a life by design.

“Honest, humorous, inspiring, informa-tive, and entertaining” are just some of the words audiences have used to describe her dynamic presentations. Sandra provides a unique benefit to event coordinators over traditional speakers. This multi-talented singer/songwriter and recording artist can also provide special entertainment upon request, delivering a powerful vocal performance that leaves her audience wanting more and standing to their feet.

With her infectious and charismatic personality, Sandra is sought out nationally to deliver keynote speeches, facilitate workshops and host events at conferences, corporations and schools. She is a radio personality on WSHA 88.9 FM in Raleigh N.C., and the author of My Crown and Glory-It’s NOT About the Hair. Through her words and music, Sandra empowers others by sharing her expert strategies to build self-esteem, and by letting her light shine bright to lead the way to self-love and personal freedom.

Sandra informs about her recent free concert. “I AM Not My Hair” Alopecia Awareness Concert took place on Saturday, September 1st to kick off Alopecia Awareness month. I was the featured artist and I shared the stage with some super talented local artists from North Carolina: Rozlyn Sorell, Von Neuman, RaShad, Melissa Oliver, Tracey Pulley Fleming, Albert Joyner and Charles Hill. It was a labor of love for us, and we all came together to put on a show that would not only raise awareness about alopecia but bring inspiration and encouragement to those who are challenged with hair loss. I

wanted to do it as an initiative through my support group, The Alopecia Community of the Triangle. Yes, I am going to coordinate this concert every year to celebrate Alopecia Awareness Month. We want to reach as many people as we can to edu-cate the public. Also, it helps us to reach those people with alopecia who need emotional support but may have been too uncomfortable in the past to speak out.”

Her new book was released September 1, 2012 and she shares, “My Crown and Glory, It’s NOT About the Hair covers the Six Fundamental Principles to Heal Emotional Wounds and Build Healthy Self-Esteem. I wrote this book because I

wanted people to have the tools needed to build healthy self-esteem. I have personally used these princi-ples throughout my life to overcome challenges, heal from past hurts and find my way to freedom. The book offers journal exercises to help the reader work through their emotions and apply the principles to their own life.”

Sandra humbly tells us about her recent award, “I was honored to receive the 2012 Radical Woman Award from Radical Success Coach, Doreen Rainey. It took place at the 4th Annual Get Radical Women’s Conference where I had the oppor-tunity to be amongst powerhouse women like Suze Orman, Lisa Nichols and Jillian Michaels.”

She also shares…“Currently, I am in the process of promoting my book

and starting in October, I am offering a free six week teleconference for women who have read my My Crown and Glory and want to engage in some healing dialogue around the principles found in each chapter. To sign up, join my e-mail list found on the home page of my website and you will be sent the dial in information to join the “Conversations of My Crown and Glory.” www.SandraDubose.com”

Sandra has a DVD documentary. She says, “The Project Liberation, My Alopecia Experience Documentary is my debut production as an independent filmmaker. It documents the season of liberation in my life when I finally decided to go outside without my wig and let the world see me for who I am. I celebrated my freedom by doing a bald glamour photo shoot as a sign of self-acceptance and self-love. It is a source of inspiration for anyone who wants to get out of their box and find the courage to express their selves in a brand new way and let their true light shine. I also had the opportunity to sit down by the fire-place with some of my closest friends for a candid woman to woman conver-sation. We opened up about our beliefs about beauty and the deep relationship women have to their hair and why. It is available on Amazon and is a must see, especially for any woman challenged with hair loss.”

Kayla Martell is the former Miss Delaware 2010. Kayla shares with us her journey with Alopecia, and how inner beauty is more important than outer beauty, which soci-ety emphasizes. She suffers with an incurable condition Alopecia Areata….”If you hate Alopecia, that's okay! But don't hate yourself. Find a way to love you and your hair. If you want to wear a wig, wear a wig!” Kayla also gives this encouragement to everyone, “Your journey is your own-so own it!”

Kayla shares…“Not every person is fortunate enough to understand part of their life's calling and purpose so young. Since losing my hair in junior high, I have gradually learned that beauty goes beyond what the eye can see. My passion is to show women, of all ages, they can find happiness within themselves by learning to love whatever it is that makes them different. Loving the qualities that make us blend in sends a mixed message. Learn to love the things that set you apart- bald patches, height differences, unique talents, etc. That is when you can truly learn to love yourself.”

“Over the course of my jour-ney with Alopecia, I have met countless people who say,

"I'm not as strong as you, I can't stand my hair loss." Every time I hear that I just want to grab that person and give them a huge hug. One person's journey shouldn't mirror another's. Comparison will kill you. Not literally, of course, but it can kill your confidence. If you hate Alopecia, that's okay! But don't hate yourself. Find a way to love you and your hair. If you want to wear a wig, wear a wig! If you like drawing on your eyebrows- do it! None of

those things make you less strong, “ Kayla states.

“Becoming Miss Delaware 2010 was a dream come true. I had attended the pageant each year with my mother, starting when I was three years old. At 17 I began pursuing my dream and competed at the Miss Delaware pageant, placing 4th runner-up without wearing a wig. I worked long and hard over the next four years to achieve that goal. I was given advice from differ-ent people, with varying opinions. I tried all sorts of things from chang-

ing my talent from dancing to singing, to changing the platform, which I would represent. As you may know, I even changed my appearance by adding a human hairpiece to my wardrobe my last two years competing. In 2010, my final year competing, I decided to just be the best version of myself- to be free of everyone else's opinions and suggestions. I competed with a gorgeous wig that resembled my hair before it fell out, I danced to my favorite song, and wore attire that represented my personality and was selected by me with those I love,” Kayla shares.

Her next journey began…”After being named Miss Delaware, I set off on my journey to the Miss America stage. Two years ago from this week, I was on a plane headed to Las Vegas, hoping to fulfill an even greater dream of becoming Miss America. I continued with my

same mode of preparation- being the best version of ME that I could be. I was honored to be chosen as America's Choice during the Miss America 2011 pageant on ABC and ultimately placed in the Top 10, a feat for a titleholder from Delaware. I was awarded 1st runner up to the Quality of Life Award, an honor for our commitment to service.”

Kayla shows pride in bringing awareness to Alopecia Areata! “Looking back on my year as Miss Delaware, I feel true joy and great pride knowing that I was able to not only put Delaware on the map, but also bring awareness to Alopecia Areata through appearances on national television. My experience was everything I dreamed it could be, and more. And I wouldn't have changed a thing.”

Kayla shares the challenges of self-esteem and Alopecia. “When first learning you have an incurable condition, it is hard to accept. You wonder how (or if) your life will ever be the same. But, if you challenge yourself to look in the mirror and tell yourself you ARE beautiful (or handsome) you may gradu-ally believe it. Be your own cheerleader; learn to love the new you. You cannot change your diagnosis, but you can change your outlook. Be responsible for your approach to your hair loss. Know that even if your moments of doubt and insecurity, you are no less strong than the bald person with a smile on their face. Your journey is your own- so own it!”

“For 2013 I hope to put my health and happiness first. We live in a society of "shoulds"- what we should and shouldn't do. I hope to make choices each day that will help me be happier and healthier, regardless of "shoulds and should nots," concludes Kayla.

Luxe Therapy Review & Giveaway

Our product review of the month of February is the Luxe Therapy Scalp Soother. Omg, can we say A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! The design of the hair comb fits like a glove to your head, and the combs soothe any itch without irri-tating the scalp. We tried the Scalp Soother out on braids, a wig, a ponytail, as well as on someone with a naturaly curly afro. The Scalp Soother was able to reach every spot on the head effortlessly without disturbing the hairstyle at all! We would recommend this product for all hair types and hairstyles.

Excessive hair shedding from your lace wig can be a problem if you do not properly care for your wig. There are a few maintenance techniques which will help prevent hair shedding. First seal the knots on your unit before you wear it and after every wash. A very good knot sealer product to use is called Knot Sealer. Turn the wig inside out, spray on the mesh or lace and allow it to completely dry before wearing it.

Once you wash your unit, allow it to air dry. After the cap is completely dry, apply your sealer. Spraying extra hold hair spray on mesh or lace is also effec-tive. Some wig wearers use an acrylic sealer. It can be purchased at your local craft store.

Another thing that can cause the wig to excessively shed is applying oils or conditioners close to the base of the wig where the knots are. This can cause the knots to loosen and slip when brushing or combing the hair. Even if you use a knot sealer product, using oils and conditioners can weaken the effectiveness.

Lace Wigs How to Prevent Hair SheddingBy: Kaaryn Walker

hair

When applying conditioner to your unit, try to stay clear of the knots at the base. Make sure your hair is complete dryer before combing or brushing. If the hair is not complete dry, combing loosens the knots. Although it may not shed immediately, once the hair is dry and you begin to style it, your wig may begin to shed. Also, avoid excessive brushing and comb-ing your wig. Remember the longevity of your wig depends on how well you care for it.

Kaaryn Walker is an authority on lace wigs. Her website, everythingwigs.com, provides a large selec-tion of lace wigs in all styles, colors and lengths.

HISTORYWords by: Carol Bruce-Lockhart

Not long ago in historyIn a land we ruled supremeCrept a sly and evil predatorIn search for a race of Kings

They captured us and harnessed usLike cattle gone astrayAnd forced us on large dark shipsTo be sold to “Masters” faraway

Now, half of us we lost our livesAs we sailed across the deepAnd like rotten garbage and human wasteOur bodies were dumped into the sea

They beat us down like animalsTo break our will to liveAnd sold us on the market blockLike dirty, filthy pigs!

But God looked down and saw our plightAnd stirred up in our soulsA faith that went beyond our fearsAnd from the ground we rose

Strong and brave and led by GodWe readied for the fightAnd with a thunderous battle cryWe stood up for our rights!

Today some leer and glare at usAnd shake their heads in shameIn hateful, haunting tones they say, “I wish they never came!”“You” forced us here against our will“Our” lives you chose to changeWhen “You” bond us with your shacklesAnd stripped us of our names

In the words that sing our history“You” stole us from our throne“You” brought us to this unknown landAnd now…”We” call it home!

AFTER ALL…Words by: Carol Bruce-Lockhart

After all that we have been through We continue still to shineLike a polished piece of silverNext to an unearthed dime

After all that we have been throughWe still stand strong and grandAnd the world still pumps our bloodLike the drums beating within a band

After all that we have been throughWho knew we’d come out rightWho knew our lives would prosperAnd our songs that filled the night – …Would sing on for generations…

Red on the Lips:Every woman possesses her own unique personality and style. The red you select should clearly express the true essence of your femininity. One way of connecting with your ideal hue is by visiting a beauty counter with a bare face and experiment with several blends. The one that you could wear without an ounce of face paint else-where is a sure winner. What matters most is being comfortable with your choice.

Lip Tip:To increase the staying power of your lip-stick, apply a thin layer of foundation or power as a base before applying your lip color. Outline your lip with pencil to pre-

Many women shy away from this ancient color of mystique as it can be quite intimidat-ing especially, if you lack the finesse and understanding of how to handle its powerful presence.

One the most important keys to remember when selecting the perfect red is being open to the infinite possibilities. Allow yourself the freedom to experiment and explore a whole new world of reds from head to toe.

If there is one color that makes a powerful statement day or night it is the bold,intriguing and radiant color RED.

vent color from feathering and fill in empty space with red lipstick. If you desire for the lip to remain matte refrain from adding a gloss as your finishing touch.

Red on the Hips:When determining the right pieces of red for your wardrobe think about the fashion statement you desire to make and the occasion in which you are dressing for. The color red is an emotionally stimulating color. It represents passion and vitality for life.

Hips Tip:One of the common mistakes with red is wearing too much of it. Ever heard the phrase, a little dab will do yah, just fine! Choose wisely and dress to the nine looking super fly on point , on purpose!

Red on the Fingertips:Painting the nails red is not reserved for the holiday season only. This classic color is timeless and beautiful year round.

Finger Tip:For quick dry, try not to apply more than 2 coats unless you want to wait a lifetime for it to dry. Placing more than 2 coats generally will cause the polish to peel.

Another trick of the trade is to place freshly painted nails under cold water to speed up the hardening process.Go ahead and start today by finding a red that will turn heads your way! As you seek to create a new look that's all about you, dare to blaze a red so bright that it burns from sun up to midnight.

For years and years I’ve been content with my Sally's and corner store beauty supply hair products, thinking that the more I paid the better quality I was receiving. And of course the more fabulous my hair was going to look. Not at all considering if I was achieving my results safely.

I must say, sometimes I hit the jackpot and sometimes in the words of stylists across America, I fell flat.

There were so many products to choose from I didn’t know what worked at what didn’t. And most of them were generally in the same price range, especially at my beauty bin on the corner.

Basically, product testing, and trial and error played a huge factor in my career as a professional hair stylist.

Eventually, I found myself in Cosmetology school asking the same questions many of my clients today ask, “Should I be using pro products or non pro?”

As I was educated on the topic, I was lead to believe that as a pro-fessional you’re only supposed to use pro products because they’re the best and that’s what the client is paying for, and nothing else is acceptable.

In amazement I thought of all the fabulous products that I had used throughout my life and have grown to not be able to live without. I lived and died by Pump it Up. My Olive Oil sheen was heaven sent. And my Pink Moisturizer Relaxer! Please. You couldn’t tell me anything. At this moment I began to challenge my twenty thousand dollar education and look at my instructor a tad

TO GO PRO OR NOT TO GO:THAT IS THE QUESTION

Professional Hair Products Vs. Non-Professional?

bit differently.

After being introduced to the Redkens and Paul Mitchell's of my industry, my mind kept wandering back to my alternative brands that had up until Cosmetology school produced the results I wanted. I continued to use the pro brands that my instructors recommended, but still I wasn’t getting quite the same look, that I had so easily achieved in the past.

Since my African American hair was looking less then amazing, I decided it was time to challenge my education and do some research outside of the beauty school walls. To my amazement and my schools dislike I found that ultimately to go pro or not to go pro is up to one’s own discretion.

Professional products are indeed held to a higher standard, and have quality factors that are in place and required before it can even be considered professional, that dif-ferentiate them from the everyday store bought brands. They must also be able to demonstrate their advertised working ability in a cer-tain timeframe, which allows them to achieve results faster by making concentration levels higher. Pro products tend to focus on using gentler ingredients catering to the effects the product will have on hair and scalp. These products are tested on live models, studied, ph

balanced, sent to salons for reviews, and offer many different options to assist you if for some reason you’re not achieving the correct results, including reimbursing your money.

As for non professional products if you do the research you’ll find that if you check out the labels and start doing some comparisons, these products have just about the same ingredients as the pros when it comes to vitamins, minerals, and the oils we like to use on our hair, but then again we still have to keep the concentration levels in mind. Many non pro products have higher concentration levels then pro prod-ucts when it comes to alcohol and harsh chemicals that aren’t good for hair and skin. Also, I’ve found that some have a lot of wax included, so you still achieve beautiful results, but after time the build up shows in the feel and appearance in your hair. On a good note, non products and exceptionally cheaper and some have the working ability to achieve the look, if that’s the only factor you’re considering.

Bottom line as I’ve said when I started this article, it’s up to your discretion and depends solely on what you’re looking for in a hair product, the price range you’re will-ing to spend, and if achieving your results healthily is a factor to you.

Regardless, if you’re going to spend your bucks at the salon or the corner

beauty bargain bin, educate your-self. Know what it is your hair needs, and what products and ingredients will support that. Hair and skin is very sensitive. You must pamper them and give them the care that they need. As with all things, the more you learn about it and spend the time, effort, and yes, sometimes money to invest in them, the better results you will see.

I’m a professional, but I’m also an artist. I specialize in hair, makeup, and image consulting, and I’ll say with all three of those areas, there are times when I need to spend a little more on products and I’ve learned there are times when I can cut back and get something just as good and spend a little less. That’s part of my education on my prod-ucts and tools. I, for the most part use Redken and Design Essentials in my studio when it comes to hair, but let me tell you this. Never will you be able to pull my Pump it Up bottle out of my hair when I need something to stay in place for a outrageously long period of time.Be the best, get the best, and look the best, while catering to your-self and achieving your look in a healthy and safe manner. If you don’t care what’s going into your hair no one else will. Educate yourself.

It’s that time if the year again and if you are lucky you have someone special to gift and surprise on February 14th. It’s always going to be beneficial for you to present your spouse with a gift that you can enjoy as well. Lingerie is one of those gifts! What girl doesn’t love to play dress up? Venture into your wild side and strut your stuff!

Often times when it comes to shopping for intimate wear in plus sizes the stores either fall short on variety, quantity or accurate sizing. Well look no further because “Torrid” has come to the rescue. Not only will you find pieces that fit true to size but also things that compliment your curva-siousness! Love your body and flaunt it to your spouse in one of Torrid’s sexy bedroom ensembles.

Another obstacle that us women can face in the conquest to impress our lovers on the most romantic day of the year is picking out something that we think will really excite our partner at first glance. One suggestion would be to pick something that couldn’t be mistaken for anything else. We don’t want all of our efforts overlooked. The more sheer, the more lace and the more scant the better girls. Have fun!
