EDITORIAL LETTER

Back to School Haircare Now that children are gearing up to go back to school, creating new, funky styles to impress classmates will be a major priority for them. However, protecting the hair from damage and avoiding painful detangling sessions will likely be their parents’ most significant concern.

Many Black girls and boys grew up with similar hair care experiences. Straightening comb burns, broken combs and unruly hair were frequently played on the proverbial hair woes playlist for many. Wash day, or any day that requires hair maintenance, can be dreaded among everyone involved. Thankfully, in recent years, your favorite brands have upped the ante on kid’s haircare, creating complete collections to make children’s hairstyling a bit easier.

More than ever, the pain points of doing a child’s hair have surfaced. For parents who work remotely or are wary of visiting salons, being an at-home, amateur stylist is often the most reasonable solution.

You’ve likely seen more parents shopping not just for children’s cleansing and conditioning products but styling and maintenance items, as well.

To plan for your school rush, we rounded up the top five sellers at Jinny Beauty Supply on page 49, so you can be sure you’re making a wise purchase for your store. If you need more ideas, check out our monthly Marketplace column on page 16, where we dive deeper into hair and skin care products for babies and tots. You’ll be able to provide valuable assistance to your shoppers by staying abreast of the latest tips, tricks and merchandise.

Remember: your store plays a vital role in caring for children’s hair and building their self-esteem.

From hair bows to shower caps and edge gels, there’s a kiddie version for many adult hair care staples in your inventory. So as they return to school, be sure your store is ready to welcome them - and their parents - with exciting new products.

BACK T BASE

From vivid rainbows to soft pastels and back to blonde again Meet Crazy Color’s Back To Base Remover. In just 30 minutes or less, this creamy, non-drip formula will remove any existing direct dyes and take the hair back to its pre-lightened blonde state.

Switching it up has never been easier.

How Does it Work?

Key ingredients such as Kaolin Clay gently removes impurities in the hair without stripping those hydrating natural oils. Kaolin Clay is known as the Earth’s natural cleanser, so no need for harsh chemicals here!

How to Use

STEP 1 Mix one complete Back To Base sachet (45g) with 5, 10 or 20 volume developer, depending on the client’s hair condition, in a non-metallic mixing bowl.

STEP 2 Apply onto dry hair which has been previously pre-lightened and treated with direct dye.

STEP 3 Process at room temperature for up to 30 minutes, checking every 5 minutes until the desired result is achieved.

STEP 4 Thoroughly rinse the product out of the hair, then use shampoo and conditioner as usual—then dry and style as desired.

Crazy Color is now available at Jinny Beauty Supply. For more information, contact your salesperson or visit www.crazycolorus.com.

Children’s Hair & Skin Care All wet products in the haircare category aren’t created equal, especially in the children’s variety. Shampoos, conditioners and lotions that adults use may be too abrasive for your kid’s fragile tresses.

Choosing the right products for your little one’s hair is the key to style success. Check out these 12 tried-and-true products that we’re sure your shoppers are going to love.

Hair Lotion Smooth, soften and seal in nourishment with the Just For Me® Natural Hair Milk Oil Moisturizing Lotion. This lightweight lotion fights frizz, humidity and flyaways that threaten to ruin the cutest of hairstyles. Formulated with coconut milk, shea butter and Vitamin E, this product also supports healthy hair and prevents breakage.

Fly-Away Gel Kiss flyaways goodbye with the ORS Olive Oil Girls Fly-Away Taming Edge Gel. This firm gel offers excellent hold for fly-aways around the hairline and nape, and it provides daily protection from styling damage. Infused with olive oil and Vitamin E, this product keeps hair healthy while imparting non-greasy shine.

OTC Beauty Magazine August 2021

Detangler When tender-headed kids are dreading wash day, reach for the Dream Kids Instant Moisturizing Detangler. It helps to restore natural oils, prevents breakage, split ends, and dryness by improving softness from the inside out. This lotion truly improves the state of the hair instantly to make it easier to detangle, define and control frizz.

Baby Oil For babies, skincare is just as crucial as haircare.

That’s why we love Baby Sweet Baby Oil. Made for the most sensitive skin; this oil will work well to keep your new bundle of joy’s skin soft and moisturized.

Scalp Oil No one likes an itchy scalp, especially your little ones, but the Taliah Waajid Hair & Scalp Oil with Vitamin E can help. Not only does this oil soothe the scalp and prevent dryness, but it also stimulates hair growth, making it ideal for scalp massages, hot oil treatments and protective styling.

Leave-In Conditioner Increase manageability and reduce breakage with the Cantu Care for Kids Leave-in Conditioner. Styling your tot’s hair doesn’t have to be a challenge with this deep-conditioning cream. It offers a blend of pure shea butter, coconut oil and honey to nourish and nurture textured strands.

Children’s Hair & Skin Care

Shampoo Ditch the tears during bath time with Ampro’s Beautiful Child Sweet Pea Shampoo & Wash Me. This tear-free formula is gentle, yet it clarifies the hair and body. Thanks to its sweet pea protein, coconut oil, aloe, lavender and chamomile formulation, this shampoo cleanses with soft bubbles that moisturize and soothe.

Shower Cap Just like adults, getting a child’s hair wet isn’t always conducive to your schedule for the day.

The Dream World Kid’s Shower Cap is the perfect solution, protecting your youngster’s hair from water while providing a child-appropriate fit for extra comfort.

Relaxer Sometimes, the best way to manage your child’s hair is to straighten it. However, a typical relaxer won’t do. You’ll need one formulated for children, like the Smooth Care Olive Oil Kids No-Lye Conditioning Crème Relaxer Kit. Created with shea butter and olive and coconut oils, this relaxer conditions and enhances the sheen of the hair, producing straight, stunning results!

Conditioner Bath time will be a breeze with the Mane ‘n Tail’s Spirit Untamed Caramel Apple Scented Conditioner. The brand encourages shoppers to “discover the spirit of great hair” with its new Spirit collection that includes the conditioner, as well as a shampoo and detangler. When used with the rest of the collection, this conditioner transforms hair into healthy, soft, silky strands.

Hydration Spray Many textured hair shoppers battle with dryness, and your kid’s natural tresses will likely face similar needs. With The Mane Choice Hair Solution’s Sweet Strawberry Fruit Medley KIDS Hydration Spray, you can get the hydration and definition you’ve always wanted for your child’s hair. The spray creates the perfect balance of hydration and intense moisture to boost any healthy hair growth regimen.

Children’s Cape Stylists and barbers looking for a protective garment solution for their child clients needn’t look any further than the Dream World Deluxe Kid’s Cloth Cape. The lightweight polyester cape features familiar cartoon characters and is easy to clean.

BUSINESS TIPS

Mindsets To Breathe Oxygen Into Your People

We All Could Use a Deep Breath Most teams and companies are still figuring out how to help support their people and engage with them remotely, in hybrid settings, and in in-person gatherings. With all that business people have been navigating: differing modes of communication, the expansion of remote workers, global health, issues of racism, social injustice and equity, political and economic uncertainty, they are also expected to maximize the experience, product or service that you are delivering to the mar-ketplace. Deep breaths are needed.

1. Clarity Vision + Direction is the air that all need to breathe. Is your mission clear?

Is your vision clear? Are your values for how your team is committed to traveling clear? Is your Strategy for the following priorities clear? If not, your team may be gasping for air. Every time you breathe oxygen into these mindsets and concepts as a team, the air is easier for all to breathe. The path forward becomes clearer. Your team may not have all the answers, but they’ll have energy and clear direction on how to take the next step.

The process of breathing for the human body is “the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly to bring oxygen and flush out carbon dioxide.” The

air they breathe dictates the quality of air for all. The ecosystem of their culture is grown, developed, cultivated and led with intentionality, one breath at a time.

5. Rest Teams and organizations have an unhealthy association with the concept of rest. Americans last year left 768 million days of vacation on the table with their employers. That equates to nearly $66 billion of lost benefits.

We’ve forgotten that the research shows that delib-erate rest is essential to elite performance. When we allow our bodies, minds and hearts to deliberately rest, we breathe more efficiently and are better at everything else.

The process for developing high-performing and engaged teams never stops, and the best leaders, teams and organizations are committed to breathing oxygen in how they hire, onboard, do per-formance evaluations, develop emerging leaders, and recognize excellence. The best leaders invest in their teams and the air they breathe together.

If you’re experiencing a lack of energy, passion or hope for the road ahead, it may be the air you’re breathing.

URBAN CALL — HEALTHY LIVING EVERY DAY!

Getting back to family — set your heart on it The American Heart Association has fought the pandemic since its early stages because we are dedicated to helping people live longer, healthier lives. The virus can cause serious heart complications and strokes in otherwise healthy people and individuals with heart disease and heart disease risk factors are at increased risk for severe complications from COVID-19.

Like many, you may face higher risks for COVID-19 complications because of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart conditions. The prevalence of high blood pressure in Black Americans is the highest in the world, with 45.7% of Black adults in NC with hypertension. About half of the Black adult population in the U.S. has some form of cardiovascular disease.

A COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you, your family and your community.

We are delighted to partner with the American Heart Association on its programs to help deliver the facts about the COVID19 vaccines to our community and the Hair, Heart & Health initiative that is uniting with barbershops and beauty salons. We had our shots because all the information we researched made it clear that the approved vaccines are both safe and effective.

20 Steps to Healthier, Happier Hair for Youngsters Taking care of your child’s hair can be a challenge. Healthy natural hair needs a lot of time, maintenance, and attention. Rather than relying on the local stylist to care for a child’s hair, parents can take the reigns by learning how to tackle wash day themselves. By taking the proper steps, parents can learn to care for and style their children’s hair and encourage healthy new growth.

GENTLY SHAMPOO Cleansing a child’s hair can be tricky, especially if they are dreading the detangling process. Follow these tips and tricks to start the next wash day on the right foot.

1.

Give your child an eyeshield or goggles if they dislike having water on their face.

2.

Wet the scalp and hair with warm water.

3.

Use shampoos that are infused with vitamins and antioxidants formulated for kids. Adult shampoos can be too harsh for a child’s hair.

4.

Put a small amount of shampoo in your hand and gently massage it into your child’s scalp.

CONDITION WITH CARE You should deep condition your child’s hair biweekly or monthly, depending on the condition of their hair. Deep conditioning helps keep the hair soft and shiny. Once you’ve thoroughly rinsed out your shampoo, be sure to:

1.

Apply the conditioner from root to tip to cover every hair strand.

2.

Allow the conditioner to sit for 15-30 minutes or sit underneath a hooded dryer for 15-20 minutes for maximum absorption.

3.

Detangle hair with a wide-tooth comb to prevent breakage.

4.

Rinse the hair with cold water to seal the strands’ cuticles and remove the conditioner.

5.

Use a towel to gently squeeze the excess water out of the hair.

6.

Let the hair air dry or use a hairdryer on a low setting.

SheaMoisture Mango & Carrot Kids Extra Nourishing Conditioner This conditioner softens and smooths children’s hair while detangling and working out the knots.

OIL THE HAIR & SCALP Curly Chic Curly Kids Mixed Hair Haircare Custard This product is infused with coconut oil, designed for curly, kinky, coily, wavy and frizzy hair. It locks in moisture, making the hair strands soft and manageable.

It is essential to keep your child’s hair oiled consistently. Oiling ensures the hair and scalp are adequately nourished and conditioned. Try not to skip these necessary steps.

1.

Choose an oil to fit your child’s hair needs. Coconut, olive and avocado oils are all great options.

2.

Massage the oil into the scalp to encourage blood flow and nourish the scalp and roots.

3.

Seal the ends of strands with oil to prevent breakage.

TRIM & CUT Don’t let those clippers intimidate you. Trimming is vital to hair growth, as it removes split ends and reduces breakage. However, cutting a child’s hair isn’t as tough as you’d expect. Simply follow these steps.

1.

Clean and dry the hair.

2.

Use a wide-tooth comb to comb the hair, stopping just before the ends.

3.

Let the hair hang naturally, and don’t hold it between your fingers.

4.

Cut hair in a straight line and repeat throughout hair.

5.

If cutting a boy’s hair, invest in a quality pair of clippers.

6.

Use guards to control how much hair is removed.

7.

Cut the front of the hair and work your way to the back.

8.

Use scissors to trim around the ears and a trimmer to clean up the hairline.

Wahl Professional 5-Star Magic Clip There’s a reason why so many barbers love these clippers. They effortlessly cut and fade the hair without snagging or irritation, perfect for dealing with a wiggly toddler.

Be sure to be flexible with your child’s hairstyles because you don’t want to damage the hair or cause unnecessary pain from styling. Use these hair care tips to keep your kids’ mane happy and healthy.

CLIPPER TIPS Sponsored by Andis Co.

THE PERFECT PAIR

By Kenny Duncan

Andis Global Educator – US Team Lead Detachable blade clippers such as the Andis Supra ZR® II Cordless Clipper and the Andis UltraEdge® Detachable Blades in various sizes are primarily used to remove high volumes of excess bulk. The power of the motors paired with the quality craftsmanship of the detachable blades means bulk removal can be done in the most effective and efficient way. The biggest benefit for a barber from a detachable blade clipper is how time-saving they are. This benefit becomes most valuable in the newfound ability to service more customers or provide the same number of customers with more services. A detachable blade clipper is a must-have for the clipper cutter who is serious and desires to achieve quality cuts fast. Pair your Supra ZR® II with the appropriate blade sets for the use case to experience the most benefits.

The Andis Company manufactures various detachable blade sizes across two different model types, UltraEdge® and CeramicEdge®. The sizes range from a 00000 (close to bald) to a 3/4 HT (3/4 inch).

Since time is money and detachable blade clippers and blade sets provide its user with extra time, the cost of a detachable clipper is often considered an investment. The return on this investment will continue to be reaped for years to come due to the high-quality craftsmanship. A two-year warranty backs all Andis detachable blade clippers.

Andis UltraEdge® blade sets are made of high-quality stainless steel that help its user handle even the biggest jobs with ease. My favorite UltraEdge® blade set is the Detachable Outliner® Blade because it saves my trimmers from completing the dry shaving tasks. Pairing the Outliner® Blade with a detachable blade clipper allows me to dry shave faster while maintaining client comfort.

Andis CeramicEdge® blades provide the same quality cut as the UltraEdge® blade sets, but they add the ability for the blades to stay cooler, longer during use. The CeramicEdge® blades also stay sharper longer, and as a result, cut hair with ease for a longer period. When servicing children, their constant movement can be a challenge for barbers, leading to the clipper running longer than when working with an adult client. The longer run time can cause the blades to heat up very quickly. Barbers can use the CeramicEdge® blades to keep children from receiving a longer and more uncomfortable haircut.

For more information about the latest detachable blade clippers and the perfect detachable blades to pair with it, visit andis.com today.

Kenny Duncan is an internationallyknown barber, stylist, make-up artist, photographer, educator and salon owner.

He is the barber for several Grammy awardwinning artists and has toured the world as the barber for Lady Gaga world tours and the Adele Live world tour.

THERAPY TRENDS Grooming Rites of Passage

By Elayne McClaine

The culture of children’s grooming and hair care is nurtured from the days of being a toddler. Parents identify the types of topical products to use on the child by determining the child’s hair texture, categorized by a range from 1-4. AfricanAmericans and multicultural children typically fall in between the 2 to 4 categories. The tighter the curl pattern, the more prone to breakage. In some children, protective styling rituals will be used, requiring more braiding and manipulation and more products. The haircare market is flooded with all types of hair care solutions to accommodate children from infancy to toddlers and pre-teens. They are being launched in colorful pomades, puddings and potions.

A new trend in the market is to market beyond the little girl hair care segment. More products are launching for boys with braided or naturally flowing locks. More products are available for the increasingly multicultural and Hispanic markets. New sub-segments result in more shelf space. The kiddie culture brands offer multiple products to cleanse, condition and define a child’s hair texture. Parents are becoming more and more concerned about plant-based, natural and pollutant-free products. Parents are becoming more and more concerned about hair loss in children due to the traction and trauma of styling. There are also qualms about healthy hair growth and the avoidance of long-term or permanent hair loss. OTC consumer moms are becoming more proactive about avoiding damage and destruction to their children’s tresses. They will spend on kiddie products that will nurture, protect and create a fun experience.

actively browsing the latest launches. It’s encouraging to see many users of the platform save products for later review. Here, if

a particular ingredient is of interest, the two parties can connect,

potentially resulting in a new business opportunity just like at one of ours shows.”
