Hair testing for drugs in custody case?

  • Posted on October 28, 2010 at 1:24 am

My friend has a three month old daughter and is trying to get full custody from her ex, who she left because he was an alcoholic and smoked pot. She is freaking out bc he coerced her to take ecstasy one time and thinks he might try to get the court to take a hair sample to prove it. Her ex has always buzzed his hair so he doesn’t have to worry. She took it about four months before she was pregnant but wants to cut her hair really short before their next court date so he can’t do that.

I told her I don’t think they would take her hair but I don’t know. Should she cut her hair?

Hair follicle drug test – will it detect low levels of cocaine use?

  • Posted on August 29, 2010 at 1:21 pm

I believe that my daughter may be experimenting with drugs. She has been showing classic signs of this. I have also been told by one of her friends that she had used cocaine at a party a few months ago. I am wondering how accurate the hair follicle test is? Will it be able to tell me if she has used drugs, even if she has only used one time?

My daughter is addicted to hair cutting, help?

  • Posted on August 7, 2010 at 4:21 am

My names Meghan, my daughter is Morganne, shes 13 (almost 14) and im a single mother. About 2 months ago my daughters hair was getting a little long in the back so she cut her hair herself (that was the first time she had ever cut hair, her own or others) and she cut it perfectly and she thought it was very fun. My daughters hair was about 16 inch’s after, past her shoulders. The next few days she kept cutting her hair because she thought it was really fun and liked to do it. After about a month her hair was only like 8 inch’s long. After that she let it grow to about 9 inch’s and then about a 2 weeks ago started cutting her hair again. She had cut her hair to like 6 inch’s long then she had given herself a buzzcut and was giving her friends haircuts. Most of her friends now have quite a bit shorter hair too and a few of them got Morganne to give them buzz cuts (all girls). I don’t mind er cutting people hair but shes a girl and she shouldn’t ever be having a buzz cut because girls are not supposed to do that ever. How should I go about stopping her from doing that.

What are good hair products to use for my biracial 3 year old daughter’s hair?

  • Posted on August 2, 2010 at 7:24 pm

My daughter has very long and curly hair. It reminds me of Sarah Jessica Parker’s hair throughout the entire 6 season’s of Sex and the City. I say that because different parts of her hair remind me of the many looks of SJP throughout the years; the only major difference is that my daughter’s hair gets extremely dry after a few hours and it doesn’t help that we live in Arizona. I am a biracial woman and her father is hispanic so she ended up with very fine hair that is curly but very dry. I have tried the suave kids hair line, motions, garnier fructise and plain old water but none of this works, her hair simply drinks up the moisture. Her curls are also starting to fall a bit, I’m assuming from me utilizing the ponytail and bun method. I feel guilty but her hair dries up too quickly and looks like a brown cotton ball and she complains that it is in the way. Also, could it be time for her first trim?

Is Falsehood The Word For Natural Hair Care Products?

  • Posted on January 18, 2010 at 9:20 pm

It may be very difficult to find the right natural hair care products to suit your needs. This problem arises mostly with those people who, most of the times work with hair textures of different sorts over a long period of time. Very often do they get frustrated as they do not find the right hare care products that are made naturally and also those that work successfully for the body. Natural hair care products somehow seem to only cater to the needs of those who have dry hair. This also may include curly, natural, wavy hair, straight hair, locked hair and also color treated hair.

For hair that is black use a shampoo that has good moisture content and then go in for a conditioner that can help replenish the nutrients. Your hair will look black when the conditioner that you use is revitalizing. Condition your hair well to make your hair manageable and also free from tangles. Sleek look can be obtained by you by just making use of the hair serum that is nourishing. Yet another option is to renew your scalp. For fine hair do use nourishing shine products.

Scalp renewal is the word for African hair that is curly. For hair that needs to be taken care of everyday use moisturizer as well as a shampoo that is nourishing. When you use this make sure that you are using a conditioner that replenishes the nutrients. Holding the curls in the right place may be very simple if you so use the natural sprays. Along with the revitalizer use a leave in conditioner when you have to be outdoors. Curls that are bouncy have to be locked and twisted.

Sleek and straight are the traits of American hair. The products that are used for daily hair care contain nourishing shampoo that is rich in moisture and also a conditioner for replenishing the nutrients. This stays the same for this hair type. You can wrap and roll natural hair if the shampooing if followed by air drying. Spray gels can be opted for if you do use flat irons. For textured hair that is fine use hair nourishing cream. Nourishing serum for the hair can also be applied to keep the nutrients in the hair.

Scalp renewal may be very necessary if you want natural hair growth. This may be the first thing that you should think of. You can enhance the growth by using natural nourishing creams and serums that are also natural. Nevertheless use good conditioners and also shampoo your hair with moisturized shampoos. This is good for daily hair care.

Moisture rich shampoos and conditioners can be used by men to keep their hair in good condition. Condition and sculpts are used often. Hair growth for men is enhanced by hair nourishing creams.

Special hair care treatment needs to be given for extremely fizzy hair. You can reduce frizz by leaving in the conditioner. This has to be done after shampoo and also be followed by a conditioner. You can soften the strands of the hair by making use for shining and nourishing products. Smooth and silky hair can be got by reducing frizz. This is done by the serums and the hair nourishing creams.

For colored hair more care needs to be taken. Nourishing creams that are naturally got are used. Shining products help in keeping the color longer and also in keeping them brighter.

Detangling Directives for Children With Dry Hair or From Mixed Cultures

  • Posted on January 15, 2010 at 1:06 pm

We tend to complain about our children’s hair not growing, breaking constantly, and manageability. With busy schedules we unconsciously neglect their hair and take it for granted until it begins to break like straw.

Yet we seem to take the time each day to moisturize our hands and bodies with lovely creams and moisturizers. We do this because we know that our skin will crack and get rough if it is not cared for. So why don’t we apply this same concept to our children’s hair?

We repeatedly use harsh styling gels or alcohol based hair sprays that dry their hair out immensely. We use relaxers also that tend to dry the hair out also. In addition, their braided or twisted hairstyles tend to be dry and brittle as well. All of these factors cause our children’s hair to tangle and break easily.

The variety of hair textures has an impact on the amount of tangling on a child hair, however hair that is moisturized and hydrated tends to tangle much less than dry and brittle hair. Whether a child has thick hair, coarse hair, curly hair, fine hair or mixed textured hair due to multi-racial parents; it must be cared for in the same manner.

When the hair and scalp are not moisturized with some sort of hair lotion or oil-based cream; the scalp can become extremely dry, rough, irritated and itchy. Sometimes the scalp will begin to form scabs and sores or even crack. Therefore hair growth is reduced due to the scalp being sore and damaged.

And in addition to not caring for our children’s hair externally, many of us do not assure that our children drink enough water to hydrate their bodies internally. Nor do they eat enough green vegetables and fruits to provide their growing bodies with natural vitamins.

The only solution to prevent dry hair is to change our way of thinking. The TAKE DOWN ®, Moisture Restoring Hair lotion is one of top selling products for moms to detangle matted hair. And also for children with multi cultural hair textures. It is a very strong cross over product, for all types of children and hair textures. This product line also offers great maintenance and styling products for ethnic hair.

We must value our children’s hair and stop taking it for granted. Our children should not be forced to wear hair extensions when they become matured adults. Especially if it is as a result of their parents not taking the time to moisturize their hair and scalp with alcohol free hair lotions or oil-based creams. Their God given natural hair is an important part of their self esteem and self worth.

If children wear braids or dreadlocks use leave-in conditioners, oils, or oil-based creams. Shampoo their hair weekly-dust and dirt prevents healthy hair growth. Take the time to massage these moisturizers in their hair 2-3 times a week; it will only take 10 minutes out of your day to care for their hair. Or show them how to massage their own heads after you apply the moisturizers- make it fun for them. That is even easier than moisturizing our hands/bodies daily!

Please incorporate more water in their daily diets, as well as more green vegetables and fruits in their weekly diets.

A good source of vitamins for healthy hair, skin and nails are Vitamin E, A, & D. When you take the time to love your child’s hair it will respond by getting thicker, healthier and longer. And their hair textures will become softer and shinier as well.

Different Types of Hair Care Products

  • Posted on January 14, 2010 at 5:21 am

Well maintained hair requires a lot of work, time and of course the right hair products. Different hair products are categorically available in accordance to the hair type. It is only by using the suitable hair product that you end up looking your best and maintaining the health of your hair.

Relaxed hair

Relaxing hair entails making curvy hair straight by use of chemicals. It is usually more adverse as it dries out the hair in an effort to straighten it. This is usually difficult when handling ethnic hair. Said to be the curliest, when trying to achieve this look, hair is subjected to a lot of heat and you risk losing quite a number of strands from the process if you don’t re-hydrate it with hair food and scalp oil.

Products used on this type of hair get rid of the frizz while keeping the hair shinny and prevent heat damage.

When washing your hair, shampoo designed to suit dry hair should be used at least weekly. Straightening conditioner on the other hand helps to keep the hair healthy and prevents it from looking dull. This leaves it shiny and silky. The best oils to use on the hair include jojoba, coconut, almond and olive oil. You should avoid moisturizers with petrolatum and mineral oils and instead opt for water based ones.

This type of hair tends to be more fragile compared to the rest. Products used should minimize breakage. A curl keeper can be used to avoid dryness and control the curls. Curl control can be applied on the hair to intensify and define the curls while moisturising the hair and scalp.

Hot oil treatment products are used to reduce breakage, repair damaged hair and keep it shiny. A styling crme can be used to give body to the hair and moisturising giving it a great shine.

Ethnic Hair

Ethnic Hair is the curliest hair of all and it is the driest. So you have to give vital attention to this kind of hair and the products chosen must control hair breakage. Scalp oil is necessary to prevent hair breakage.

It is the curliest hair of them all and tends to be dry. Products used should work towards controlling breakage, stopping hair loss leaving the hair looking strong healthy and beautiful. To control the dryness, scalp oil is essential. Use of a hydrating shampoo enhances the natural oils in the hair leaving the hair shiny. A styling lotion protects the hair during heat treatments such as hot iron and blow drying.

Color Treated Hair

These kind of hair needs a shampoo that protects it from harmful UV rays and pollutions. To retain the color of your hair you must use a proper, recommended conditioner. Using a thermal protectant spray is very important part of heat treatments such as blow drying. So its vital that you choose the right product for your hair.
