Expert Advice

By Sonja Watford-Mair

A Fresh Start to 2017

Start the New Year off with a Clean, Tidy, and Well Organized Store

Front Doors/Windows – Are the front doors and windows free of fingerprints? Customers may assume that if the front doors are dirty, then so is the rest of the store. Glass windows, doors/door handles, and mirrors should be cleaned daily, and should be a part of the opening and closing routine of a business.

Floors – Dirty floors can be viewed as a big hazard for customers. The overall safety of your customers should always be a top priority. You should want to eliminate any chance of a lawsuit as the result of a fall due to spills or buildup on the floors. Carpeted floors should be vacuumed and shampooed periodically to maintain freshness.

Store cleanliness and appearance plays an important role in where consumers will shop. Is your retail establishment in need of a makeover for the New Year?

Research studies have found that many consumers said they would stop visiting a store that was not as clean as they would like, and others have said they would only visit those types of stores to pick up a few items that they could not find anywhere else.

Cleanliness is an important part of the “consumer’s shopping experience.” It dictates the consumer’s willingness to shop at a given retailer, and also influences the frequency and length of time spent in the store.

First impressions are made the moment customers walk through the doors, and sometimes even before that. An untidy business can make shoppers feel uneasy. When people are uneasy, they are more apt to leave the store quicker.

Clean, well-organized stores can generate bigger profits...for when customers are enjoying the “experience” they spend more time browsing and exposed to more products, which can lead to more likely purchases.

Here are some common areas that are often overlooked, but should be paid special attention to:

Shelving and Displays – Make a special effort to rotate stock and pull expired merchandise off the shelves. When a customer sees product that is dirty, old and out of date, they naturally assume that you are selling other products in the store that are below standard. Old products usually only sit and sit on the shelves, with no possibility of being purchased. Clean shelves periodically of spills and residue build up.

Scent in the Air – How your store smells can affect how people perceive your business. We all like entering a room or building that smells great! Don’t become nose blind to unpleasant odors that linger in your store. Burn candles or disperse air fresheners throughout the store to keep it smelling nice.

Keeping your business clean and organized is very important—perhaps more important than one may realize. Start 2017 off with a clean and tidy store! Make sure your business is ready to embrace these simple opportunities to win over new customers and maintain existing ones.

Parking Lot – When was the last time you actually stopped and took survey of the parking lot area in front of your business? Pick up litter and trash in the parking lot leading into your store. Believe it or not, an unclean entrance is noticed by your customers even though they may never mention it to you. When your store front is clean and neat, people will take notice.

Declutter and Organize – Get rid of unnecessary clutter at the cash registers, and special service areas within the store. Clean counter tops and displays frequently, and always have cleaning supplies available to take care of spills and accidents.

This month’s selling focus is…

Winter is a beautiful time of year that brings with it many celebrations from Christmas to New Years and even Valentine’s Day. However, it also ushers in cold temperatures that can put up quite a battle against skin.

What is the most important step in a skin care routine to ensure skin stays soft, moisturized and radiant in this season of chilly temperatures?

In winters’ dry air and bone chilling temperatures using the right moisturizer matters. The solution is knowing the right moisturizing ingredients.

Only occlusive moisturizers—those with ingredients like petrolatum, mineral and vegetable oils, beeswax, squalane, shea butter and lanolin—can lock moisture into the skin while physically preventing the outside air from penetrating pores. This magic potion is known as Vaseline, which most dermatologists will tell you locks in moisture better than anything else; unfortunately it can cause breakouts. The best strategy is to use an occlusive moisturizer at night and a lighter

lotion containing humectant ingredients like honey, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid in the daytime. Rather than forming a physical barrier that locks in moisture and keeps out cold and dry air, humectants draw in moisture from skin’s deeper layers to its surface while also sucking water molecules from the air into the skin. Both actions prevent flaky red skin, which signals an overly dry complexion.

The popular myth that oily skin does not need to moisturize because such hydration may lead to clogged pores is incorrect. All skin types need to keep their complexions well hydrated, especially during the winter months.

HEALTHY SLEEPING FACTS

건강한 수면에 대한 펙트들

Getting sufficient sleep every day is one of the most significant things you can do for your wellbeing and health. Healthy sleeping makes us feel better, energetic, and alert; that can help us to do and focus on our daily tasks.

It is well-known that sleep is an important biological function vital for life. While we sleep, many significant functions take place that help the body in repair and physical recovery, support body metabolism, learning, cardiac function and brain development, as well as improving mood and memory.

• Healthy sleep can improve your memory. Your mind is busy while you sleep. During sleep, you can reinforce memories or practice skills learned while you were awake. This process is called consolidation.

• It can also stimulate a person’s creativity. Before doing some artwork, get a good night’ sleep. It can make your brain restructure and reorganize which can lead to creativity. The study shows that people who are sleep-deprived are more prone to be impulsive, inattentive and unmindful.

매일 충분한 수면을 취하는 것은 웰빙과 건강을

것 중 하나 입니다. 건강한 수면을 취하면 기분이 좋아지고 에너지가 넘쳐흐르며 정신을 맑게 해주어 일을 할 때 집중력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다.

수면은 삶에서 중요한 생물학적 기능으로 잘 알려져 있습니다. 잠을 자는 동안에는 기분을 좋게하거나 기억력 향상은 물론 몸의 치유, 물리적인 복구, 신진대사 지원, 학습 및 심장 기능 및 두뇌 발달을 시켜주는 것과 같은 수 많은 중요 기능들이 수행됩니다.

• Sleep can certainly reduce levels of stress and with that people can have good control of their blood pressure. It also minimizes the risk of heart disease because healthy sleep can contribute good effects on cholesterol levels.

• Sleep is particularly significant for babies and children. It plays an important role in their overall health and growth. However, adults also need proper sleeping hours to perform their daily routines and activities. Having not enough sleep, we are more prone to have problems with concentration, memory, thinking, reaction and mood. All of which make it more difficult to do our everyday tasks and enhance the risks of accidents and mistakes. Poor sleep or insufficient sleep contributes to long-term health problems such as poor mental health, cardiovascular disease, obesity and type 3 diabetes.

active, thus activity levels depend on it throughout the course of sleep, along with some physiological functions, such as heart rate, body temperature, and breathing.

Human sleep is managed by two interacting systems: the Homeostatic and Body Clock sleep. Homeostatic sleep takes processes which balance out time awake with times of sleep. In other words, when we have been awake for a long period, this process ensures we feel sleepy and helps us sleep long enough to make up for the time we are awake. While Body Clock is the name, it is regularly used to refer to Circadian Rhythms. Circadian rhythms are produced by our innermost nervous system and manage a lot of our biological development such as a hormone, body temperature, and sleep activity.

Our circadian rhythms are also harmonized with the 24-hour cycle of dark and light, resulting in our usual pattern of night-time sleep. If our circadian rhythms are disturbed it can hinder our sleep. For instance, jet lag happens when our circadian rhythms are disturbed by long-distance flying. Humans are not robots. Therefore, a human’s body requires healthy sleep to function well in every task.

인간의 수면은 두 가지 상호 작용하는 시스템, 즉 항상성과 바디 클락 (Body Clock) 수면으로 관리됩니다. 항상성 수면은 깨어있는 시간과 수면을 조화시키는 과정을 필요로합니다. 즉, 우리가 오랫동안 깨어있을 때 이 과정은 우리가 졸린 느낌을 느끼게 하고 우리가 깨어있는 시간을 만회 할 수 있을만큼 충분히 잘 수 있도록 하게 합니다. 바디 클락

THE HISTORY AND FUTURE OF THE PRESS AND CURL MARKET

프레스와 컬 시장의 역사와 미래

This is a large but mostly ignored market due primarily to the manufacturers and the professional Cosmetology industry. The manufacturers, because they have not come up with any new innovative and practical methods or products directed in that area; The Cosmetologists, because they do not feature, promote and advertise this service to the same degree as they do other services they perform. This is because they do not have any posters or other promotional material to use to promote this service. The Cosmetologist depends on the manufacturers to supply such items, but because this market is all but ignored by the manufacturers, there are no promotional materials available for this purpose.

History

It is not quite clear where and when the hair pressing procedure began, but it actually began in Africa long before slavery in America. For thousands of years, Africans knew no other skin color or hair type other than their own. Their hair enhancing tool was the specially fashioned comb (now known as

Cosmetologists with a majority of Afro descended patrons who do not offer the Press and Curl service are ignoring one-third of their possible clientele.

the Afro comb). They were designed to work on tight wooly hair. They were constructed of carved wood or animal bones into the shape of a makeshift comb. Many hairstyles and designs denoted families and even whole tribes. When the African slaves were brought to America, they brought their traditions with them. The females were not allowed to groom themselves as they once did, but they used their imagination and ingenuity and found new ways to style and enhance their hair. Ironing of clothes was unknown to them in Africa; they found that this same method could be used to straighten their hair. However, they had to invent new ways for this to work on hair. The answer was to take the original Afro comb and fashion it out of metal instead of wood or bones (this was the first pressing comb prototype). The first innovated pressing comb was a dinner fork with a rag tied around the handle to prevent burning their hands. The first pressing oil was lard or cooking grease to keep form scorching the hair, and give longevity to the straightened appearance plus a gleaming shine to the hair.

역사

헤어 프레싱 절차가 언제, 어디서 시작되었는지는 아직 명확하지 않지만 실제로 오랫동안 미국의 노예 이전의 아프리카에서 시작되었다. 수천 년 동안, 아프리카 인들은 자신들 이외의 다른 피부 색깔이나 머리 타입을 알지 못했다. 그들의 머리에 사용했던 도구는 빗이었다 (현재 아프로 빗(Afro comb)이라고 알려짐). 그 빗은 빽빽한 양모발에 사용할 수 있도록 디자인되었다. 그들은 조각된 나무 또는 동물의 뼈로 빗 모양을 구성했다. 그들의 헤어 스타일과 디자인은 가족구성원, 또는 전체 부족을 나타내는 상징이었다.

자체가 허용되지 않았지만, 그들은 상상력과 창의력을 발휘해서 그들의 머리를 변화시킬 새로운 방법을 찾았다. 옷을 다림질하는 것은 아프리카 인들에게 잘 알려지지 않았다. 그들은 이 같은 방법이 머리를 곧게 하는 데 사용될 수도 있다는 것을 발견했다. 그러나, 그들은 자신의 머리에 맞는 새로운 방법을 발명해야 했다. 해결방안은 바로 기존의 아프로콤 (afro comb)을 가지고 나무나 뼈 대신 메탈을 이용하였던 것이다. ( 이게 바로 최초의 pressing comb의 원형이었던 것.) 첫째의 혁신적인 프레싱콤(pressing comb)은 식사용 포크에 헝겊조각을 손잡이 쪽에 묶어 그들의 손에 화상을 입는 것을 방지하고 사용하였다. 첫 번째 pressing oil은 돼지 기름 또는 요리 기름으로써 머리의 형태를 곧게 유지하고, 매끈한 광택까지 준다.

Commercialization

In the early 1900s the pressing comb and related products were commercially developed and popularized by a woman named Annie Malone who started the first Afro American owned Beauty School chain called Poro College (Poro: a West African word meaning organization, dedication and discipline) in Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis. Malone did not invent the pressing comb, but did popularize it in conjunction with her related products line, because the true originator is unknown. She and her husband acquired a wealth of 14 million dollars during the course of their business empire. She was the mentor and the inspiration for Madam C.J. Walker, who improved the pressing comb to be more effective on course, kinky hair. Walker was granted a patent for the improvements. In the 1920s Malone and Walker’s mission was to develop and devise improved ways to style female Afro kinky hair with products designed

Although the original concept has been improved, the basic design is still the same.

When commercial pressing oils were manufactured they were simply petrolatum mixed with mineral oil and fragrance added; they aided in giving longevity to the press by resisting moisture, and it absorbed excessive heat and allowed for a smooth slide of the pressing comb through the hair.

You

Must be Aware of this Fact!

The Press and Curl is one element of professional Cosmetology that the Black cosmetologists own and control. Other cultures can do relaxers and Curly Perms on Afro hair as well as anyone, but the Press and Curl service is almost non-existent to other cultures. This is mainly because of the correct use of the pressing comb and the artistic use of the stove-heated marcel iron. So, Afro Cosmetologists should take advantage of this fact and use it to increase their business; all it takes is to let their potential new patrons know that they can do this service. Cosmetologists with a majority of Afro descended patrons who do not offer the Press and Curl service are ignoring one-third of their possible clientele.

프레스와 컬은 흑인 미용사들의 소유이자 관리하는 하나의 전문적 미용 방법이다. 다른 문화에선 릴렉스를 한 머리에 곱슬 펌을 할 수 있지만, 프레스와 컬 서비스는 그렇지 않다. 그 이유는, 적절한 프레싱콤의 사용과 마샬 아이언의 예술적인 사용방법 때문이다. 따라서, 아프리칸 미용사들은 이 방법을 잘 활용하여, 그들의 비즈니스를 성장시켜야 한다. 이를 위해 그들이 할 일은 단지, 이러한 서비스를 할 수 있다고 미래의 단골들에게 홍보하는 것이다. 다수의 아프리칸 미용사들은 이러한 프레스와 컬 서비스를 제공하지 않아 그들의 미래 단골 고객들 중 1/3을 잃어가고 있는 것이다.

What’s the True Cost of Only

Focusing on the Bottom Line?

Good Profits vs. Bad Profits

Is there really such a thing as bad profits? With business getting larger and more powerful, and investors feeling and expecting ever greater ROI, wouldn’t that imply that all profits are good? It is an important question to ask.

Bad profits are those profits that are earned at the expense of customer relationships. Whenever customers feel misled, mistreated, ignored or coerced, then the result is a bad profit. Bad profits arise when a company saves money by delivering a lousy customer experience. Essentially it means that leadership or the company extracts value from their customers instead of adding overall value.

Those of you in leadership positions, those of you that run companies and manage people, understand that the culture you present to your team may lay the foundation for success not just in the short term but hopefully in the long term. The leaders who have exceptional core values and focus on good profits—and eliminate bad profits—will not only create companies with long term success, but will provide products and services that your customers will crave, want and need.

When companies don’t understand the difference between good and bad profits, the result is that growth suffers in the long term, reputations are hurt, customers become alienated and employees become demoralized. You and your business become vulnerable to competition. Your business may achieve short term success—but will always fail in the long term.

Steps to Eliminate Bad Profits

Bad profits create detractors. These are people that hurt your company and team members. They hurt your company’s reputation; they strangle

과연 나쁜 이익이라는 것이 존재할까? 회사가 커지고 힘이 세 질 수록 투자자들이 또한 더욱 많은 ROI를 기대한다면 모든 이익은 좋은 것이란

뜻이 아닌가? 이것은 정말 중요한 의문점이다.

나쁜 이익은 소비자와의 관계에서 그들이 소비하는 것에서 이루어

The first step in avoiding bad profits is to recognize they exist, and the second step is to recognize the detractors. The third step involves deciding if you can convert your company’s detractors into enthusiastic advocates for your company. This is accomplished with top-shelf internal communication, and sterling customer service.

Create Customers that Promote

Your goal is to focus on good profits from good products and/or services. Good profits are earned with customer’s enthusiastic cooperation. They occur when their customers come back time and time again for your products and services. They want to tell their friends, family and acquaintances about their exceptional experience. When this occurs they become the best promotional arm for your business.

As promotors, these individuals provide positive marketing for your company; they are loyal and provide the most costeffective growth for you and your company.

It has been estimated that most companies have about 42-82% of promotors receiving products and/ or services. Your focus should be to improve that percentage as much as possible to boost your good profits, and this is done by training—and more training—that is backed up by outstanding leadership and communication. This is not only smart business, but good business.

Perform a Companywide Internal Evaluation

One of the main keys to eliminating bad profits is recognizing the business behaviors that create them in the first place. To effectively identify the areas

나쁜 이익을 피할 수 있는 첫번째 단계는, 나쁜 이익이라는 것이 존재한다는 것을 인지하는 것이고 두번째로는 비난하는 사람들의 존재를 아는 것이다. 세번째는 그런 비난하는 사람들을 회사의 옹호자로 바꿀 수 있도록 마음을 먹는 것이다. 이러한 것들은 조직 내에서 의사소통과 훌륭한 고객 서비스를 통해 이룰 수 있다.

홍보를 하는 고객을 만들기

당신의 목표는 좋은 상품과 또는 좋은 서비스에서 발생되는 좋은 이익에 중점을 두는 것이다. 좋은 이익은 소비자의 열렬한 협력으로 이루어 진다. 그들은 당신의 상품과 서비스를 받기 위해 찾고 또 찾음으로 발생하는 것이다. 그들은 친구들, 가족, 그리고 아는 사람들에게 그들이 겪은 우수한 경험을 알려주고 싶을 것이다. 이러한 일이 생긴다면 그들은

Before you start re-evaluating your company, consider evaluating yourself or the leadership of your business. That may be the board, partnership or an individual. Look at those who are influencers and find out about their core values. This may be easier than you think.

Spending time with people can tell you quite a bit about that person. If it is a dinner meeting, observe how they treat the wait staff; if it’s a golf match, see how they handle a bad shot; if it’s at a dinner party, see if they include other people in their conversation, or does the conversation just revolve around them? Do they provide solutions and the action steps to create them, or are they afraid to speak up and state what they feel and why? Are they good listeners?

In the end, would you believe, like and trust this individual, and if the answer is “yes” you have defined a good set of core values. You should be honest and straight forward. You shouldn’t put profits before people. You should do what’s right and not just easy. You should put your customer and employees first, and make sure your team members know you’re always trying to do what is right.

Once you have the correct core values, the next step is simply putting the correct processes and procedures in place to make your business succeed.

Making good profits simply means you constantly re-evaluate yourself, your team, your customer service processes, and your products and services, and constantly try to make improvement. These improvements do not necessarily have to be major changes; they can be minor tweaks that provide major improvement.

Using a B.O.L.D Approach to Succeed in an Unpredictable Business World

B.O.L.D

International pop singer Madonna had a major hit song in the 1980s titled "Material Girl" with catchy lyrics saying, “We are living in a material world.” Fast forward to today, and we are now living in a world that’s highly unpredictable.

BBusiness Strategy - Grow your organization with purpose and prosperity.

Rethink your approach to planning. Stop engaging in strategic planning focused on fun, bonding events where you vision-quest about idealistic wishes for your future, resulting in ineffective plans and written reports that collect dust.

Focus instead on grounding your planning efforts by gaining the information and insight you need to develop effective business strategies. Leverage the emerging opportunities available to you and minimize the risks that an uncertain business landscape creates for your enterprise.

Those who thrive in an unstable environment focus on understanding the potential future of evolving trends. So what do you do now? Let go of old ideas. Coalesce your business strategies around innovation and adaption. Build your sustainable success on a viable future that is grounded in a full understanding of your situation, not on wishful thinking. Manage your transitions effectively by hiring more sophisticated talent to match your evolving needs. Consider how you can leverage new opportunities to enhance your operation and profitability.

Staying close to your target market is crucial to your long-term success. But market needs, wants and desires change over time. You must understand how your market is changing and why. To remain feasible, you need to determine what you need to change to meet those evolving market needs.

There are 9 key market forces impacting most businesses today: shifting demographics, competitive actions, fluid economic conditions, unstable capital markets, governmental interference impacting regulations and reimbursement, technology evolution, workforce skills and capabilities, industry changes as organizations adapt to these forces and generational shifts.

You have no control over these market forces. Yet you continually have to adapt and adjust your strategies to respond to them.

Leadership - Lead with confidence and effectiveness.

It takes many, many hours to master a skill or hone your expertise. Don’t expect to be an effective leader in the beginning. It takes time. Building your insight to effectively navigate stormy strategic waters will take time too.

Asking the right questions is the foundation of an effective strategic mindset. Yet learning to ask the right questions is extremely difficult because most people only ask superficial questions that have easy answers. Asking challenging questions allows you to deepen your understanding of the impact of each market force and their influence on your long-term potential for success.

Effective leaders in turbulent times are not afraid to listen to divergent perspectives. They understand that their ability to take corrective action before things go completely haywire requires candor from their teams and a full understanding of the market forces.

Confident leaders use objective advisors to get to the truth and to push their teams. Look for real expertise that has proven results. Stay away from advisors offering strong sales hype and marketing sizzle. They can do lasting damage to your enterprise.

Decision Making - Gain the clarity you need to thrive.

Effective decision making in an uncertain and unstable world begins with a desire for clarity.

Gaining clarity requires a complete and candid understanding of your situation. Truth gives you information. Well-researched information gives you insight. Insight gives you the clarity you need to set the right priorities and focus your team on the most critical activities impacting your success.

Make sure you are not operating under a false set of assumptions that were correct at one time, but have not been updated to reflect your current situation. If your assumptions are wrong, your ability to make good decisions will be severely limited by your skewed viewpoint.

It is critical that you reassess your assumptions about the future. Getting the right information for effective decision-making is essential. Look for more than superficial answers to the critical issues you face. Be willing to invest the time and money to bring in a fresh and different point of view to discover the truth.

The value of taking a B.O.L.D. Approach?

By taking a B.O.L.D. Approach, you will integrate an action plan for uncertainty into every facet of your strategic mindset. By asking challenging questions to understand your current and evolving situation, you will build your confidence that you are developing the business strategies to enhance your success. You will uncover the potential in your markets. You will be a more confident and effective leader. You will make better decisions.

Getting the Edge on 2017 with Great Natural Styles

If 2016 is any indication of what’s going on with natural hair, the forecast for 2017 is more of the same. Besides being healthier and easier to maintain, women are learning that they don’t have to wear the same style day after day. Going natural means going versatile and the ladies are changing their hairstyles as often as they change their hats.

Two hairstyles that are becoming more popular are the bantu knots and two-strand twists. Both styles are easy to maintain and can be worn in a variety of ways, depending on the hair length and the wearer’s degree of boldness.

Everyone doesn’t want to wear their hair freestyle, and they find that the long, smooth style suits them just fine.

Up-dos and puffs made the scene in 2016 and you can expect to see them in a variety of colors with a lot of fun and sexy accessories in 2017.

Sometimes, all of the various styles can cause stress on the hair and thinning of the edges. It could

happen because of too much blow-drying, locs or braids twisted too tight, wearing a wig cap too long, or tight ponytails. The good news is there are products that can address thinning hair. One very effective hair growth product is Groganics® with the DHT blocker system. DHT is a metabolite that can cause male and female hair loss. Groganics® uses saw palmetto to stop DHT growth, while it also creates an environment where hair can grow unaffected by harmful metabolites. Besides saw palmetto, Groganics® also contains ingredients such as chamomile, oat seed extract and vitamins.

The newest Groganics® product is Revita-Edge This amazing product strengthens and smoothes edges while causing a woman’s over-worked, over-stressed edges to make a dramatic comeback.

Be sure to share this good news with your customers, so they can ring in the New Year with any great style they want without having to worry about camouflaging those thinning edges.

Ways OTCs Can Take Advantage of Holiday $pending

The Thanksgiving Day turkey had just begun to settle when the onslaught of ‘Black Friday Ads’ interrupted my holiday football viewing. I had no intention of standing in a long line of retail gladiators vying for door-buster, early bird, or just a few of these left deals. In fact, I had not even given thought to going out on ‘Black Friday’ at all.

I let the ladies do it and I reclined in my chair, feet up; suddenly I jerked forward and thought to myself: “These large retail stores are busy everyday. When they have sales they are even busier.” The wheels in my mind started to turn faster. The questions were now coming from everywhere.

School that causes regular buyers to increase their purchases and nonregular buyers to purchase what they never purchased before?

Just once I would like to see a chain of stores - multiple locations - get the jump on holiday spending and a crowd standing at the Beauty Supply, the same way they stand at other stores like Bath & Body Works.

Bargain, pure and simple. Back in the day, OTC was known for bargain. In fact, the conversation between consumers would be about which store on what street had the best deals on whichever item. Ah, those heady days of the 80s and 90s are gone and replaced by stores that are mega in size, well-merchandised, beautifully lit, and customer concerned, but no bargain. No bargain.

• What is it about a sale that draws more people in?

• What is it about Black Friday, Cyber Monday, End of Year, Closeout, Clearance, Valentines Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Back to

Just once I would like to see a chain of stores—multiple locations—get the jump on holiday spending and a crowd standing at the Beauty Supply, the same way they stand at other stores like Bath & Body Works.

Think about it, what do they actually put on sale for Black Friday? I watch and wait for the deal. The black cashmere jacket I wanted was the same price on Black Friday as it was on the previous Friday except there was a 10% discount if I used my store credit card. Clearance items, seasonal sales and the like are all fair game for Black Friday. The hard-to-sell items become stocking stuffers; the new things that customers wanted to try but were afraid to buy are also fodder for the Black Friday sale.

There are several bargains for sure, and they bring customers in. The store benefits, the consumer benefits, and most of all a national experience has been built around this event—this day, and this weekend of bargains and sales. Meanwhile that black cashmere jacket that I am watching and waiting to go on sale remains just out of reasonable price range with no sign of coming down.

and offer them up to introduce the consumer to something new.

We should ‘hype up’ holiday sales season, while offering the holiday music and sprinkling in fake snow. Let’s contribute to making someone less fortunate more fortunate with food, and whatever else we can give. Black Friday is the gateway to giving, giving back, and giving of one’s self and service. It is the portal through which we all pass for the happiest time of the year, no matter our culture or faith.

Instead of letting all the big box retailers and the specialty stores get all the holiday cheer, we should make it a point to strategize around just what kind of bundles we can offer for the season.

The holiday season is a time when people buy for others. Shouldn’t they at least buy a comb, brush, or product for someone else? They would if they were prompted to.

So here is what I am proposing: Instead of letting all the big box retailers and the specialty stores get all the holiday cheer, we should make it a point to strategize around just what kind of bundles we can offer for the season. We should track the fast movers, tie them to a slower moving item,

Next year in 2017 I would like to see someone make a move towards having customers pour into OTCs to buy a hair dryer for their sister, a brush for brother and earrings for mom. Maybe everyone is not interested in having the store inundated with loads of new shoppers, but I do feel that all can take advantage of Cyber Monday.

In the elections last month it is estimated that 134 million people voted. From Black Friday to Cyber Monday it is estimated that 137 million people shopped online. Now that’s something to think about!

OTC Beauty Magazine

All of those experiences together have led to my role as the Founder and CEO of The Mane Choice.

OTC: In your opinion, what is the most interesting aspect of the hair care industry?

CA: My husband and I both come from a medical background. As I mentioned, I am still a licensed nurse and he is a medical physician. After years of extensive research, we were able to formulate phenomenal products that fuse beauty, healthy, and science together. Aside from creating reasonably priced, premium products, we strive to show our customers how much they mean to us. Our aim is to seek opportunities to show our appreciation by giving back whenever we can, as much as we can.

OTC: Briefly describe the products that make up your product portfolio and the consumers they are created for.

CA: Our portfolio is comprised of a healthy hair care regimen, from start to finish, that promotes healthy hair growth and retention. It is formulated for all hair types and textures, and for men, women, and children—from ages 2 and up.

CLIPPER TIPS

Sponsored by Andis Co.

Andis® Cutter Blades and Quality Fades

by Kenny Duncan

Ever wonder why your fades don’t look as good as what you see on Instagram? While some barbers may cheat and doctor their pictures with Photoshop, that might not be the only difference.

For example, the Andis Master® clipper is a barber shop staple, but many of you might not know that over the years it has actually been produced with different cutter blade designs. Three blade variations exist—#18, #22 and #28—and have different characteristics that can impact the finished look of your haircuts. As a longtime Andis educator, I’ve used all three extensively and will shed some light on how they differ and perform on various hair types.

The #18 cutter – First, the blade numeral denotes the actual number of cutting teeth. The #18 is an older blade design that Andis discontinued several years ago. It had thicker teeth with wider spacing that made cutting through thick, coarse and/or wet hair easy. In my opinion, the thicker teeth were also stronger. New old stock can still can be found if you’re willing to hunt for it.

The #22 cutter – This is the standard blade that comes on the current Master clipper today. It is great for all-around cutting, but it won’t produce as fine a finish as a #28 cutter— especially for fading. The #22 cutter blade has taller, thinner teeth spaced closer than the #18, but wider than the #28. While this blade works best with dry hair, it can be used on wet or damp hair as well. If you do decide to use the #22 blade to cut wet or damp hair, take your time and cut hair in smaller sections.

The #28 cutter – This is my favorite of the three because it produces the most precise finished look for fading. The characteristics of this blade are tall, skinny teeth with very little spacing between them. If I had to compare it to anything, it would be like extra fine sand paper for woodworking. It performs best with dry hair and I don’t recommend using it on wet hair. The #28 can be found at most barber supply stores.

The Master isn’t the only tool with cutter blade teeth suited to smooth, blended finishes. The new Envy™ Li and ProAlloy™ clippers are equipped with the #28 cutter blades and I have used them both to create smoother fades than what I could achieve with the #22 equipped Master. It wasn’t the clipper body that made a difference, nor the technique…it was the cutter blade that effected the quality of the fade! For more information on blades, visit Andis.com.

THERAPY TRENDS

Ushering in the New Beauty Regimen!

by Elayne McClaine

As we welcome in our new global world order, OTCs will be ushering in new products, techniques and beauty trends. The new governmental regime has called on consumers to identify as a united mix of nationals. New looks will lead to new beauty regimens. In 2017, the consumers will totally revamp the thinking of the beauty industry. What are the categories to focus on? It may not be wise to rely on past trends. For instance, hair styles that require shaving and sharpening will initiate products and techniques that are truly universal. Styles may no longer be gender specific or racially specific. Multiculturalism has become the revered and feared symbol of globalization. Metrosexual-ism has become commonplace throughout the land, not just in the major cities. OTC shelves will reflect the highs and lows of product selection—less wigs and more shaving implements; less relaxers and more natural textures; less technology and more technique. Products that are used to create and maintain shapes and tones of this worldwide collective will be in high demand.

Consumers have become cautious and plagued with uncertainty. Images of defiance and asymmetry will unify this generation of OTC customers. What may have been considered expected or normal for hair, skin, makeup or nails may not be what was on the shelf last year. They will seek fast and efficient products—no limits, no preconceived notions, no yesteryear conventions. As millennials may have started the trends, the techniques will spread toward all ages, types and textures.

Hopefully 2017 will reflect a new awakening in spirit and in inspiration. Consumers have been challenged to think and express themselves individually and communally. New boundaries have been set for all segments of the market place. This new regime has truly provoked a new beauty regimen.

Elayne McClaine has identified and developed emerging domestic and global trends in hair care, skin care and other consumer categories for such firms as Chesebrough-Pond’s, Revlon and Pharmacia (div. of Pfizer). Her expertise in therapeutic treatments for hair, skin and scalp led to the creation of the Women’s Institute for Fine and Thinning Hair, sponsored by Rogaine.

Resolutions

by Dwayne Thompson

Here we are again! A new year and we all are thinking of the success and or mistakes we made last year. Personally, I am struggling with the list of 15 resolutions I made last year. I was only able to work and improve on 5 of them. Hopefully, I can get around to the other 10 this year and ironically I have added 7 additional resolutions which will help me resolve some of the resolutions I set last year. I know it sounds crazy, but this is my reality. So let’s take a step back and ask this question: What is a resolution? Dictionary.com defines resolutions in several dynamics, but there is really only one which resonates with me directly.

RESOLUTION: (rez-uh-loo-shuh n) the act of resolving or determining upon an action, course of action, method, procedure, a resolve; a decision or determination: to make a firm resolution to do something.

Ask yourself, have you made resolutions to improve your life over the years and you have not accomplished your goals? Are you making resolutions to keep your resolutions? Well, don’t be so hard on yourself because only 8% of us keep or succeed at our resolutions throughout a full calendar year. Ironically, the top 10 resolutions we make are our to-do items we should focus on throughout our entire life. Here is the list of top resolutions below:

1. Lose Weight

3. Spend Less, Save More

2. Get Organized

4. Enjoy Life to the Fullest 5. Stay Fit and Healthy 6. Learn Something Exciting 7. Quite Smoking

8. Help Others in Their Dreams 9. Fall in Love

10. Spend More Time with Family

Hopefully you have at least one of these resolutions on your personal list; if not, please add “make more money.” Resolutions are important just like a vision board and making a bucket list, but remember you can’t conquer what you won’t confront. Attack your resolutions and don’t be afraid to fail.

Keep up the good work!

Euromonitor Reveals Trends Driving Growth in APAC Region

Global market intelligence consultancy identifies three key themes driving growth in the region’s beauty and personal care market at in-cosmetics Asia.

The Asia Pacific (APAC) region now represents almost a third of the global beauty and personal care market, and brands need to closely monitor the trends driving growth in developing Asia to achieve long term success, according to Joanna Chan of Euromonitor International.

Speaking at the in-cosmetics Asia event in Bangkok in early November 2016, Chan highlighted Euromonitor’s latest research findings. She revealed that developing Asia—including Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam—is driving growth in the APAC region, with India leading the way with growth of 7% and many Southeast Asian countries overtaking China. Focusing on the latest influences in the APAC region, Euromonitor predicts that three key demands will shape the future market—customisation, well-being and digital.

Chan commented: “APAC continues to grow faster than any other region in the world and while there are differences in growth rates between the developed and developing countries, there are similarities in the trends driving the market. We fully expect consumers to continue their pursuit of natural products that also protect against harmful effects, and for brands to start putting product customization high on their NPD agendas.”

Customization has become a key part of the skin and hair care markets, with consumers believing that the effectiveness of a product depends on their individual skin or hair types. Euromonitor’s recent Beauty Survey highlights that ‘suited to my hair type’ is a key factor in influencing the purchase decision. Chan also explained

that an emerging trend within customization is multicultural beauty where products are tailored to suit ethnicity, culture and climate. Asian consumers’ requests for high quality healthy products will lead to increased demand for natural and dermatological brands. A ‘quest for prevention’ is prevalent among those living in the region and health consciousness is also driving awareness of the dangers of UV rays and pollution, leading consumers to seek sun protectants and anti-pollution skin care products.

The APAC region is leading the world in terms of internet retailing for beauty and personal care. CAGR of 25% from 2010 to 2015 greatly outpaced the global rate of 15%. Chan emphasised the importance of e-commerce in developed Asia, with consumers using mobile devices to make purchases instead of visiting bricks and mortar stores. She also discussed the increasing use of m-commerce (electronic commerce conducted on cellular phones), as well as the challenges and opportunities for internet retailing in developing Asia.

With innovation at the heart of in-cosmetics Asia, a number of exciting new ingredients have also been announced as part of the event’s Innovation Zone. A total of 41 products will be shown over the three days, all launched within the last six months. Belinda Carli, Official Technical Advisor to the in-cosmetics Group, said: “The ingredients shown in the Innovation Zone will enable R&D professionals to create exciting new formulations in the coming years. As Euromonitor revealed, there are key trends driving beauty and personal care in the APAC region and it’s important for manufacturers to identify new materials and ingredients that can help them develop products to tap into these growth areas.” www.in-cosmetics.com

Military Hair Care Industry News

Since 2011, more women have made and are continuing to make the decision to wear their hair in its natural state. Many have chosen to do this due to health reasons, but the majority just want to wear their hair the way it naturally grows.

With this shift, women like Luvina Sabree are creating events that educate women about how to care and love their natural hair. Luvina founded the Armed Forces Natural Hair and Health Expo five years ago. As a veteran herself, she understands the challenges women face in the military when caring for their natural hair.

Denman sponsored the seminar by providing attendees with the limited edition version of the classic D3 styling brush: “Love Your Denman” which incorporates the US flag on the handle design. Afterwards, Nicole spoke one-on-one with women to find out some of their hair care concerns and maintenance issues with textured hair in the military. Women expressed how challenging it can be to take care of their hairline and edges due to having to wear a military cap daily. Products leftover from the expo were mailed to families overseas to help with their hair care needs. Luvina says being a veteran and often stationed overseas, she knows how difficult it can be to find products for natural hair.

During the Expo, women attended workshops about caring for natural hair. Nicole Patrick, also known as “The Natural Cole,” a hair educator and blogger from Dallas, Texas conducted her workshop “The

How to use:

1. Apply Black Vanilla Sulfate-Free Shampoo to damp hair and massage into a lather. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat as necessary.
