Have you ever met someone for the first time and immediately you were inspired and motivated to overcome obstacles in your life that may have held you hostage? That’s how I felt when I met Ronda Berry of 4HM Beauty Supply. Ronda is an inspiration to her customers and a credit to her profession. She provides outstanding care to individuals who have hair loss due to chemotherapy and alopecia.

With a wide selection of wigs, hair care products and hair accessories available in one location, you’ll leave their store with the utmost respect for the owners and the customer service you deserve as a consumer.

Presently 4HM is promoting their new wig line and they are seeking a face for the print work for advertising their line. YOU may be the face they are looking for!

Split Ends: Do They Stop Your Hair From Growing?

By Darlene Alexander

I read some interesting information on split ends and whether or not they stop your hair from growing. You can read the information by clicking here...

On this site, it answers the question, “Do split ends stop your hair from growing?”

The short answer... no! However, some problems that are a result of split ends are the obvious damage and potential for breakage.

I remember as a beautician, clients felt by trimming their split ends they would lose their length. I would tell them the importance of trimming their ends and then suggest trimming their ends every six to eight weeks to maintain a healthy appearance. Otherwise your ends will continue to split, leaving a frayed and frizzy appearance. Wouldn’t you prefer to have a smooth, healthy hairstyle?

I encourage you to read the whole article to get fully informed. The article explains how split ends occur and how you can prevent them.

Lastly, our shampoos and conditioners may assist in keeping those ends smooth. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming request for our samples, we have had to temporarily suspend our free sample program. Please continue to check our website (www.heavenlyessence.net) for future promotions and ways to purchase the products.

Women in Business: Optimum Health

Promoting small businesses is important to our family, especially since we’re in that category. In our present financial crisis we need to come together and support one another. Let’s face it, small businesses are the backbone of our communities; providing jobs, supporting local charities and events. Although considered small by the world’s standard, small businesses are making a difference, they are changing lives and that’s why we consider them mighty and worth promoting.
