Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn! 
Now that summer has come to an end, it's time to polish your look for autumn! Although summer has its perks, it can be very damaging to our hair. Unfortunately, the sun gives our hair a beating by drying it out. If you are a victim of this, please pay extra attention to this months' newsletter.




The Pope Put Passion Inside Our Politics

by Barry Fletcher




Obama hosted the Pope, shook Castro's hand, had dinner with Xi & clashed with Putin
President Obama met with foreign presidents but the Pope's visit seemed most prudent
Pope Francis the man viewed as the Vicar of Christ on earth by the Catholic faithful's
Reminded the flock of their duty to go and tell others about God & convert the hateful

Leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, has a noticeable effect on his flock
The immensely popular 78-year-old climate-conscious Pope rode a tiny Fiat stirring shock
The Pope suggest we welcome immigrants, end homelessness & address climate change
Republican Congress quickly realized the Pope-mobile wasn't the only thing strange

The Pope wrapped Catholic teachings into American icons like Lincoln & MLK
Not making political statements on his first visit to the USA
Francis' words in DC & NY where condemning the "boundless thirst" for wealth and power
But in a polarized Congress, it was unclear if lawmakers' minds could change in an hour

Emphasizing plurality of faith in a service with six other religions at the 9-11 memorial-site
People struggle, suffer & are forced to live in great poverty; deprived of all rights
Some scream, some cry & extend their newborns toward the Pontiff in hopes of a blessing
The Argentine hopes Congress end "hostility" toward immigrants & learns a lesson

He praised the Pres for reducing air pollution, urged Congress & the U.N. to do more
The Pope left us with this message, "the greatest destruction of human life & dignity is war"
Let's hope the GOP get over their partisan politics & reach across the aisle for the good
Boehner is quitting the government to avoid a shut-down over Planned Parenthood

Of all the important issues facing the law-making-majority, they chose to fight women's rights
Too bad for this country, Republicans can only focus on the concerns of the old rich Whites

5 Reasons Your Natural Hair May Be Dry 

Improper/Lack of Moisturizing
This is one of the biggest reasons many naturals struggle with dry hair. Either they are not moisturizing their hair often enough (this varies for everyone depending on the porosity of their hair) or they are simply using the wrong products! Unfortunately many products on the market that promise to moisturize one's hair are filled with water, meaning you are just saturating your hair with water. Furthermore, no matter how often you moisturize your hair, if you're doing it improperly you will still have dry hair. DO NOT neglect your scalp and DO NOT neglect your ends!!!
Check Out Our Moisture Therapy Line!

Lack Of Deep Conditioning
Deep conditioning gives your hair the ability to retain moisture. By deep conditioning you replenish your hair's moisture and you improve its elasticity and overall health. When dealing with dryness, opt for products with natural humectants in them like our Natural Moisture Leave In Conditioner, Liquid Moisture hair & body oil, Glow-N-Grow Light Cream Pomade, Revitalizing Conditioner, Instant Moisture and many more of of BF Products.

You Are In Need Of a Trim
As your hair grows your ends experience much wear and tear. This often results to dry and/or damaged ends. If your ends are dry, it could be a result improper moisturizing, but can also be a sign that you are ready for a trim! You may also notice that your hair does not retain moisture as well when in need of a trim! 
A common bad decision people tend to make it holding on to their split ends for the sake of length! THIS IS A BIG NO! PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS TO YOUR HAIR!!!! A proper trim is necessary to expedite your journey of growing long, healthy hair. Your hair will retain moisture and look healthier overall! 
Not sure how much to trim? It is highly recommended that you straighten your hair (stretch the hair with the blow dryer) and cut 1/4 to 1/2 cm above the split ends in order to fully remove the damage. 
BONUS: This will ensure an even trim! 

You Are Using The Wrong Shampoo
Natural hair can be very dry, therefore it is very important that you use a moisturizing shampoo every time you wash your hair. Shampoo once a week for ultimate strength and moisture.  It is also good to treat your hair to a deep cleansing. You must also know your scalp. Aside from being dry, is your scalp flaky or itchy? Our Cool Stimulating Shampoo is the perfect remedy for this problem! We carry your daily moisturizing shampoo in addition to the cool stimulating (deep cleansing) and a calming neutralizing (PH balancing) shampoo. You can find these products on our online product store. 

Weather/Environmental Factors
Climate has a huge influence on the condition of your hair. For those who live in warmer climates or those exposed to the extremely hot temperatures during the summer months, I'm sure you notice how the heat sucks the life out of your hair. Likewise, one's hair can be just as dry in colder climates. In order for you to maintain healthy hair, it is important for you to take heed to this article. As you close your windows and cut on your heater, your scalp will react by flaking. Please try our Cool Stimulating Shampoo, Cool Revitalizing Conditioner and moisturize your scalp with Cool Glow-N-Grow Pomade. You must moisturize your hair properly, use the shampoo necessary for you, deep condition, exercise protective styling, wrap your hair at night, and trim when necessary!!!
