Exceptional Leaders Have Clarity | How to SORT Your Thoughts By Jill J. Johnson

Most leaders believe they make good decisions. Protecting the status quo is the norm. Then something significant happens: their financials show losses, revenues stall, clients leave, good employees take better jobs elsewhere. All executives and board of directors share a desire to resolve the situation when they are in the middle of a complicated or difficult problem. But exceptional leaders are unique. They demonstrate a willingness to gain real clarity about what is going on inside and outside their organization

EDITORIAL LETTER By Jessica De Vault Hale

2022

New Year, New OTC? A lot has changed in the last two years. As the result of a global pandemic, we’ve seen supply chains disrupted and sky-high inflation of everything from product ingredients to packaging supplies. Consumer shopping behaviors also changed dramatically to adjust to a new isolated way of life. As we embark on another year filled with uncertainty, convenience will continue to reign supreme. E-commerce will be more critical than ever, with many shoppers choosing to purchase or research their next product online. When they do have an in-store experience, expectations will be higher. They’ll want to find what they’ve been eying online and be assured your store has it in stock to buy in person. With so many expectations for a new year, it’s no wonder we’re seeing individuals and businesses reinventing themselves and approaching their lives differently. Now is the time to live and thrive, not just survive. Isn’t it time that businesses follow suit? The spirit of reinvention offers an excellent opportunity for you to reimagine your OTC. You could improve your store layout, product offerings, and policies and ditch what doesn’t work. This is also the time to ask the hard questions: Are you marketing to your customers or assuming they’ll continue to return? Are you offering online purchasing or curbside pickup for the convenience of your shoppers? Does your OTC stand out from the competition? If you’re not satisfied with your answers, now is the time to make the necessary changes. Get started by learning how to lead your sales teams with clarity in this month’s Business Tips on page 16. And get up to speed on the hottest new multicultural products throughout this book to ensure you’re carrying the items your customers love! Jessica De Vault Hale EDITOR

MARKET PLACE

Hot New Products for the New Year With the new year officially upon us, it’s time to look ahead to the products gaining traction amongst multicultural customers and arriving at Jinny Beauty Supply this year. There are plenty of new items to consider, from hair gels and conditioners to body treatments that are sure to give your shoppers the self-care they crave. Which items should you stock on your shelves? Take a look at our top 12 SKUs and update your inventory with the year’s must-have products for 2022.

Pain Relief When muscle cramps are undeniable, reach for the Barton’s Spray ‘n Go Epsom Salt Spray. You can skip soaking in the bathtub and choose this helpful, on-the-go spray. Pain relief is only a spritz away. Best of all, this new collection comes in several scents, including unscented, organic lavender and organic eucalyptus oil.

Braiding Gel While not a new product, it’s an item in high demand. Shine’ n Jam® partnered with internationally-recognized braider Stasha Harris to create Shine n Jam® Magic Fingers™ for Braiders. The result is an extra firm gel that helps braiders design clean parts and frizz-free styles.

Hair Treatment Breakage is banished with the Clairol Professional® Shimmer Lights® Plex Treatment Step No2. When used after rinsing out Shimmer Lights® Plex Lightener Step No1, hair can experience up to 97% less breakage. This strengthening treatment also keeps the hair silky and smooth.

Color Developer Color Oops Conditioning Bleach is a gentle coconut oil and aloe vera-infused bleach that nourishes your hair while it lightens. This unique oil-based formula allows for a controlled lift to up to three levels to create natural highlights or correct an off-tone color without the fear of over-lightening that comes with traditional powder bleach.

Liquid Mousse The Leaf Legacy Hemp & Avocado Liquid Mousse ditches the messy, sticky foam and instead provides a product that delivers shine and volume. Formulated with a combination of Organic Hemp Seed Oil, Avocado Oil and the patented, FiberHance™ bond builder, the liquid mousse can defrizz, moisturize, combat hair loss and strengthen hair up to three times. And the inclusion of 10 Essential Oils helps restore your hair’s natural beauty.

Exceptional leaders understand staying close to your market is crucial to long-term success. Markets change over time. They want to understand how their market is changing and why. They determine what they need to do to meet evolving market needs. They want to understand what they need to do to compete effectively with new competitors to retain or enhance their market position. They are constantly assessing customer expectations and if their needs may be shifting beyond what they now offer. Their focus is on the future and moving forward with true success. They move on.

leaders find it refreshing to have someone around who will tell them what they don’t necessarily want to hear, but that they already suspect is true. They use objective advisors to get to the truth and to help them work through the issues to create real and lasting improvements that move their organizational success forward.

Getting clarity can be frightening. Clarity about your problems and challenges can scare your board and staff. It can be humbling to realize that critical strategies you previously implemented are now the cause of the problems now facing your organization. Yet when you have clarity, it becomes much easier to prioritize what needs to be done to resolve the issue or improve it.

THERAPY TRENDS Post-Pandemic Beauty Survival By Elayne McClaine

Consumers will greet 2022 with a new lease on life, love and beauty. They have survived two years of attacks on their well-being, insurrections in the air and on the streets, climate crises, shortages, shut-ins and several iterations of vaccine boosters. Consumers feel like survivors, and most feel they have suffered enough. Previous concepts on how we all live and shop have shifted. The survival instinct will drive consumers back out into the retail world. However, 50% of their beauty sales will be investigated and purchased online. Consumers are living the hybrid life of a pandemic survivor. Shoppers will come into stores looking for new solutions to revive their hybrid self-image. Since there was less need for a daily makeup routine, they will have more time to try new and dramatic techniques. Hair products will provide longer-lasting natural styles, and eye looks will evolve into permanent, mini-tattoo applications. High impact color will be accompanied by glitter, neon and sweeping lashes. Why not? They’ve survived two lost years. The New Year will bring on an explosion of hair color at any age, and Computer-assisted hair color selection will drive them from online to an in-store purchase. Gray is also in style with a move towards natural looks. To the survivors goes all the good the beauty industry has to offer—wellness, excitement and self-care. Working from home will continue to focus on an everyday makeup routine. Zooming will focus consumers on eye, skin and hair products that sharpen their commitment to world-class beauty. Online survivors are now exposed to world-class beauty products available on demand. As a result, OTC dealers will survive in this new consumer lease on life. Track the information and product advice found online, follow the consumer commitment to persevere, and place their choices on OTC shelves.

CLIPPER TIPS

Sponsored by Andis Co.

CREATE YOUR WAY – WITH THE MASTER® CORDLESS CLIPPER By Kenny Duncan

Andis Global Educator – US Team Lead There’s no doubt that the Andis Master® Cordless clipper is designed to perform. With its state-of-the-art engineering, high-torque rotary motor and Constant Speed Technology, you can cut through any type of hair without dragging or stalling.

Cutting Performance My top two adjustable blade picks that can be paired with the Master Cordless Clipper, are the #22-tooth (included) and the #28-tooth (sold separately). Both blades are made of carbon steel and are adjustable from #000 (1/50”) to #1(3/32”). The #22-tooth cutting blade is great for all-around cutting, removing bulk and especially when blending thick hair using the clipper-over-comb technique. This blade works best with dry hair but can also be used on wet or damp hair. Another blade option is the #28-tooth blade, which is an option for finer cutting thanks to the tighter tooth pattern. This blade features teeth with a taller, thinner profile and very little spacing between them. This tighter tooth pattern results in more hair being gripped and cut with each stroke, delivering increased precision when fading. It performs best on dry hair.

Cutting Versatility For ultimate versatility, pair your clipper with any of the Master magnetic attachment combs. Available in sizes 0 - 8, including two half sizes - 0.5 (3/32”) and 1.5 (3/16”) for even more control.

Limited Edition, Unlimited Creativity The limited-edition Gold Master Cordless is encased in an unbreakable, lightweight aluminum housing with a durable corrosion-resistant custom gold finish. The included carbon steel #22-tooth blade also features the same luxe gold finish. As an added bonus, this limited-edition model includes five premium metal clip attachment combs in sizes 0(1/16”), 1(1/8”), 2(1/4”), 3(3/8”), and 4(1/2”). For more information, visit andis.com. Kenny Duncan is a nationally known barber, stylist and educator, as well as co-owner of a 12-chair salon— Main Attraction Unisex Salon—based in Philadelphia. He is the barber for several Grammy Award-winning artists and has toured the world as the barber for the Lady Gaga production team. Kenny’s styling work has also appeared in films such as “Fantastic Four” and “Creed” starring Michael B. Jordan. He is currently the Lead Educator for Andis Company.

First to address the challenges of ‘formulating in an age of

GLOSSARY By Dr. Shanessa Fenner

Texturizers Vs. Relaxers Want to change your hairstyle to straight or bone straight? Two options can make that happen: a hair texturizer or a relaxer. Here are some differences between texturizers and relaxers to help you choose the proper treatment for your hair goals and type.

curly or wavy hairstyles easily. You will need to touch up your texturizer every eight to ten weeks.

What is a relaxer? What is a hair texturizer? A texturizer is a chemical-based procedure that smooths the hair while maintaining its texture. It is applied when you don’t want all the curl patterns removed from the hair. Texturizers should not be left on for more than 5 to 10 minutes and are considered a mild form of a hair relaxer. They are designed to stay on the hair for less time and be less harsh than relaxers. Texturizers give better curly results on some hair textures than others. Many individuals choose to texturize their hair to switch from straight to

A relaxer is a chemical-based procedure that relaxes the curl pattern entirely by breaking down the hair’s natural structure, resulting in bone-straight strands. It is typically left on the root of the hair for 20 minutes. Some Black women prefer relaxers because it makes the hair more manageable. Depending on your hair texture and growth, relaxers last from 6 – 12 weeks before needing a retouch. It is crucial to avoid overprocessing the hair. For best results, allow a professional stylist to treat your hair to eliminate the risk of damage.

Here are a few products to consider:

African Pride Olive Miracle Deep Conditioning No-Lye Relaxer This relaxer is formulated to help strengthen and protect the hair during the relaxer application process. It is enriched with extra virgin olive oil for silky smooth deep conditioned hair and a moisture-rich healthy scalp.

Crème of Nature Argan Oil Relaxer

Just for Me Hair Texture Softener

This relaxer provides advanced straightening performance and an exotic shine to the hair mane. It is available in regular and super strengths.

This anti-breakage Sunflower Oil formula softens natural hair texture and prevents damage to the hair. It lasts up to 12 weeks.

Meet Dr. Shanessa Fenner

No matter which chemical process you select, be sure to moisturize and protect the hair to prevent damage or breakage.
