For years, legions of women around the world have battled with unwanted frizzy hair .  Living in humid areas only exacerbate the issue and that was exactly my concern when I decided to relocate from New York City to sunny Florida. I should've been concerned about moving related matters, but nothing demanded more thought than my naturally frizzy curly hair. Well, I guess luck was on my side!  2007, the year I moved to Florida, something revolutionary in the hair industry changed the way we smooth frizzy hair forever. This product was called the Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment, pioneered in Brazil and known there as Escova Progressiva. I immediately trained and became certified. The results were amazing.

While Keratin is an amazing armor to win the war against frizz, there are concerns about one particular ingredie...

Protecting our skin against solar rays is something that may come naturally to us. Ultra violet rays type A and B does not only cause havoc to our skin, but also to our hair and scalp. These rays have the power to cause internal damage to the cuticle and scalp. This damage manifests in the form of brittleness, split ends, hair loss, breakage and loss of color pigmentation. Color fade is a major concern for women who enjoy trips to the beach and sunbathing during the hot summer days, when ultra violet rays are the most strongest. Keep in mind that no matter the season, you still need protection from these rays. To calculate how much protection you are getting with your SPF product, multiply it by the minutes it takes you to get burned. For example: Let's say your skin burns in 15 minutes and you have a sunscreen with SPF 15, multiply these two numbers. The result (15x15= 225 minutes) shows how long you are protected. Now, the pr...
