Trendy Tresses 최신 유행 헤어

R

eal talk: hair is BIG business. The majority of many morning routines consist of hair styling. Trends are always changing, maintenance practices are consistently important yet they keep becoming more and more elaborate, and it seems as though new products are released every month. Sometimes it’s exhausting, but it’s also glorious. The creativity and personality that can go into a hairstyle is what makes locks so lovely.

From deep conditioning tips and information on up-and-coming commercial hair trends to new products and balancing home with work, this edition of OTC Beauty Magazine covers all things beautiful about hair. After all, if you do not stay up-to-date on the latest and greatest styling methods, hair trends and business practices, you may end up wanting to pull your hair out—and that’s contradictive to the essence of this issue.

Perhaps the Senior VP and General Manager of Belson Products, Tom Gebhart, said it best as we gathered information for this months’ Manufacturer Profile. He explained how the fashion world dictates hair trends, colors and clothing designs.

The beauty industry then strives to stay on the cusp of those trends, delivering them to consumers day after day. This is an interesting fact of the trade and how it continues to thrive; helping men and women alike craft trendy styles with tresses everyday. We express our gratitude and only ask that the industry doesn’t fail us now.

Expert Advice

Look, Feel, Shake, Brush, Wash:

The Quality Human Hair Test 12

OTC Beauty Magazine June 2013

Navigating the world of added hair can

be overwhelming. There are countless companies flooding the industry. With the hair overload comes a lot of misinformation about the origins of the hair and what constitutes the “best” hair. To sort out the quality hair from the tangling messes, you have to know more about the hair itself.

There are three main types of hair found under a variety of names: Chinese, Indian and European. Even hair that you see listed as Brazilian, Italian, or Malaysian almost always comes from China or India. European hair is rarer and much of the hair labeled European doesn’t actually come from Europe.

Next, you should know how the hair is gathered. The direction of the cuticle, the shingle-like outer layer of the hair strand, is important. The word “remy” is often associated with Indian hair, but what it means is that the cuticles of the hair are all going in the correct direction. Hair that is truly remy should not get matted. Hair that is not remy is usually swept off the floor; this is the most commonly used hair because it is inexpensive. The hair that is swept off of the floor is then dropped into a vat of acid where the cuticle is stripped to make it less likely to mat. It’s difficult to completely remove the cuticle, so the hair is coated with silicone so it will be easier to wash – at least until the silicone washes out.

All of this brings us to the true challenge: the look, feel, shake, brush and wash test. Use this five-step test to determine whether the hair you are getting is of high quality.

LOOK: Healthy, high-quality hair has a subtle, natural sheen.

Bring hair into the sun or as close to natural light as you can.

Low-quality hair of any origin is overly shiny, like Barbie™ hair.

On the other end of the spectrum, Indian hair can look dull—a by-product of the Indian diet and natural hair texture. There is a lot of natural color variation within each strand of European hair, so it gives the most natural sheen of all the hair types.

Virgin European hair looks like the type of hair you would see in a commercial for conditioner.

FEEL: Chinese hair is naturally thick and coarse, but it must be bleached from its natural black shade, making the hair dry and prone to breakage. Indian hair is closer to the mark,

though it too only comes naturally in darker colors; if you’re going to purchase lighter shades, the hair will be damaged from bleaching. Remember, with the silicone you have to feel the hair carefully because it might give the impression of silky hair, but will not feel this way once the silicone is gone. You can often smell the silicone; it has a chemical scent similar to WD-40®. Remy European hair is the benchmark because it has a fine texture and does not require coloring from dark to light.

Hair with cuticle will have natural drag when you run your fingers through it, but it should not become tangled when it is washed.

SHAKE: One of the most obvious ways to spot lower-quality hair is the movement. A lack of natural movement can be seen from far away. When you watch celebrity singers perform, keep an eye on the movement of their hair. Bad hair moves in a chunk when the wind blows, or sometimes not at all. Good hair has much more flexibility, moves just like your own hair and has more distinctly visible strands.

BRUSH: Bad hair is very hard to brush after washing.

Sometimes it isn’t immediately apparent because of the copious amounts of silicone, but that manufactured sleekness will not last. If not right away, over time the hair will become increasingly harder to brush, until it is not even worth the time it takes to detangle. The hair can also get matted into your customers’ own hair.

WASH: This should be called the wash, wash, wash, wash test.

As mentioned above, most hair manufacturers deliver hair with lots of silicone on it to make the texture of the hair feel soft. It may last for a few washes or up to 30 washes, but in the end bad hair will always get tangled and matted. To avoid this, always buy remy hair. Some other names for remy hair are “cuticle-correct” and “ponytail” hair. If you get remy hair that mats, chances are it is not truly remy hair, despite the labeling.

The best way to ensure you are getting quality hair is to arm yourself with knowledge. There is no government agency that enforces added hair regulations, so you must be your own detective. Labels may lie, but the hair cannot.

How should you sell it?

This month’s focus is...

Deep Conditioning!

Think back to the last time you shampooed your hair. Was the extra step of conditioning added to the routine before you stepped out of the shower? If so you understand what a difference it made to the softness, shine and overall health of hair. Did you know that you can take that process even further?

(a) What exactly is deep conditioning and what makes it different than using a regular conditioner after washing hair? (b) What makes it important to hair maintenance? (c) What is the best way to deep condition? (a) The main difference between a deep conditioner and a regular conditioner is that the former is a treatment and the latter is a maintenance product. They differ in the amount of time they’re applied to the hair and the fact that deep conditioning formulas can actually affect the health of the strands and sometimes the scalp. A regular conditioner only temporarily changes superficial aspects of the hair: its shine, perceived volume, slip after being rinsed and comb-ability. A treatment can be a conditioner, but a conditioner isn’t always a treatment.

Deep conditioners are made to stay on the hair for about 15 minutes in order to penetrate the strands’ outer

cuticle layer, as opposed to a 2-minute rinse-off formula that lightly or partially coats the hair with temporary benefits. (b) Since everyday combing and brushing removes the effects of conditioning, it’s best to deep condition after every third shampooing (or co-washing) and to always deep condition after using a clarifying shampoo. (c) The best way to use a deep conditioner is to apply it to damp, freshly washed hair and cover the hair with a plastic cap to retain the moisture and capture heat emitted from the scalp. As an extra boost in a case when both the hair and the scalp need conditioning, apply external heat from a hair dryer or a hot-towel wrap. In the case of extremely dry hair, supplement the process with a steamer to help increase the hair’s ability to accept moisture and to deepen the conditioning effect.

어떻게 판매할 것인가? 이 달의 판매 초점은 ...

딥 컨디셔닝 입니다. 여러분이 마지막으로 헤어 샴푸했던 때를 생각해보세요. 샤워를 마치기 전 평소보다 더 추가한 컨디셔닝이 있었습니까? 그렇다면 여러분은 그것이 모발의 부드러움이나 광택, 전반적인 모발 건강 상태에 있어 어떤 차이를 만드는지를 알고 있는 것입니다. 그렇다면 그 이상의 과정을 추가할 수 있다는 것도 알고 있습니까?

(a) 딥 컨디셔닝은 정확히 무엇이며, 머리를 감을 때 사용하는 일반적인 컨디셔너와는 어떤 차이가 있는가? (b) 모발 관리에서 중요한 것은 무엇인가? (c) 최상의 딥 컨디션 방법은 무엇인가? (a) 딥 컨디셔너와 일반 컨디셔너의 가장 큰 차이는 전자는 트리트먼트이고 후자는 유지 및 관리 제품이라는 것이다. 이 둘은 모발에 사용하는 시간의 정도가 다르며, 딥 컨디셔닝 성분은 실제로 머리카락의 건강과 때로는 두피에까지 영향을 준다는 점에서 차이가 있다. 모발의 광택, 볼륨, 린스 후의 매끈함이나 빗질의 용이와 같이, 일반 컨디셔너는 단지 모발의 외형적인 면에만 일시적인 변화를 준다. 트리트먼트는 컨디셔너가 될 수 있지만, 컨디셔너가 항상 트리트먼트가 되는 것은 아니다.

모발을 가볍고 부분적으로 코팅하여 일시적인 효과를 주도록 바르고 2분 후에

씻어내는 제품과는 반대로, 딥 컨디셔너는 모발의 외피층을 뚫고 들어갈 수 있게 15분 정도 모발에 발라두도록 만들어진다, (b) 매일하는 빗질로 컨디셔닝의 효과가 점점 없어지기 때문에, 3회 정도 머리를 감거나 샴푸를 한 후, 클레리파잉 샴푸(딥 클렌징 샴푸) 사용 후에 딥 컨디셔너를 사용하는 것이 제일 좋다. (c)딥 컨디셔를 사용하는 가장 좋은 방법은 깨끗하게 감고 약간 젖은 상태의 모발에 바른 다음, 비닐 캡으로 모발을 감싸서 수분 상태를 유지하고 두피로부터 열을 내는 것이다. 모발과 두피 모두 컨디셔닝이 필요한 경우의 추가적인 방법으로는, 헤어 드라이어나 뜨거운 타월을 덮어서 외부에서도 열을 가하는 것이다. 매우 건조한 모발의 경우, 모발이 수분을 받아들일 수 있는 능력을 증가시키고 컨디셔닝 효과를 높이기 위해서 스티머를 보충 단계로 사용할 수 있다.

For me it is Twitter, the social media tool that has taken the Internet by storm. Account holders can craft short informative, witty, funny, outrageous or simply random statements and throw them out into the open communication forum that is the Internet in hopes that someone appreciates them.

Or perhaps they simply want to get something off of their hearts and minds. Either way, it is a mode to relay messages to the rest of the online community.

“

@WomensHumor: I should have stock in bobby pins.

”

Anyone who likes to style and experiment with their hair, or perhaps has children with long locks, knows the importance of these tiny hair gripping devices known as bobby pins. From everyday use tying down loose flyways to artfully crafting fancy updos on special occasions, these hair accessories are actually tools that have a multitude of uses. I say multiple uses because they have been known to hold potato chip bags closed and serve as paperclips when in a pinch, but we aren’t going to focus on those functions. Instead, we are going to examine what purposes they hold in regards to hair.

What Exactly are They?

Technically speaking, a bobby pin is defined as “a flat, spring-like metal hairpin having the prongs held close together by tension” by dictionary.com. Most common bobby pins are made of metal or plastic and colored in general hues of hair color: black, brown, bronze, gray or blonde. They are also made with patterns or designs printed on them, or even jewels on the ends to draw attention as accenting accessories.

Petite in size, slender in shape and light as a feather, they can easily be stored in a pocket, bag or wallet for women to have quick access to them throughout the day. After all, you never know when a strand of hair may fall out of place or ruthlessly refuse to stay put.

Bobbies: The Cat’s Pajamas Bobby pins are believed to have become popular around the 1920s when the on-trend hairstyle was the “bob.” During this era women kept short hair tight to their head, often in wavy patterns. For this styling practice the bobby pin was extremely useful.

The trend stayed around throughout the decades that followed and is still prominent today. As mentioned before, bobbies are common in daily use and for special occasions, but many other people use them regularly. Ballerinas may use them to hold buns perfectly in place, headbands and bandanas may be held tight with them, and head coverings of many religions may be secured with them. The uses for bobby pins are endless and this makes them one accessory that is sure to maintain its popularity.

How to Effectively use Bobby Pins Given the technological theme of this article, a little Internet surfing was performed to gather information on exactly how to use this kind of pin. I was sure there had to be attributes that made this simple looking device more amazing. Sure enough, one blog proved that there is more than meets the eye to bobbies!

My entire life I have been using bobby pins one way, placing the flat side against my scalp with the jagged edge on top, holding hair in place. Little did I know I could switch things up. Using them in this fashion (wavy side up) makes them easier to slide into the hair, adds texture and dimension to tresses, and blends nicely with curly hair.

Turning that little guy upside down has its perks too. Placing the flat side on top provides a better hold, leaves a neat appearance in the hair and gives you the ability to use decorate the pin as you like— adding ribbon, feathers or gluing on your own addition, such as a jewel.

Bobby pins are small and discrete, reasonably priced, strong and durable. These qualities, along with their ability to appease users of all hair types, make them a staple product in any woman’s hair supply collection. Be sure to provide your customers with the bobby pins they want and need.

Women’s Humor, the account mentioned earlier also wrote, “#ifihadasuperpower I’d know what men are thinking.” No matter how much women try, they may never know what goes through men’s minds, or vice versa for that matter. Nevertheless, here is a little insight into the thoughts of women for curious men: having stock in bobby pins. You can never have enough and there’s no telling when the need for one might arise. I really think the owner of the Women’s Humor Twitter account is on to something.

Why the term “ Retouch ” Should be Stricken from Cosmetology How it is Misused, Misleading and Costly “리터치(Retouch)”이라는 용어가 왜 미용업에서 엄격히 제외되어야 하는가 어떻게 오용되며, 어떤 오해의 소지와 비용이 발생되는가

The term “retouch” is used in the cosmetology “리터치(retouch)” 라는 용어는 미용 교과서에 text books several times, especially in regards to permanent hair color and hair relaxing, and it actually means to redo that which was not done correctly in the first place. In legal terms, no price should be associated with this service. In other words, when you do a service that you advertise as retouch, you are advertising a service that your patron does not have to pay you for. Morally he/ she may be responsible to pay you, but legally he/she is not; the spirit of the law may dictate that he/she has to pay you for this service, but the letter of the law does not.

The term retouch refers to corrective work and no price is associated with this service.

This term is costly because most beauty salons will charge a lesser fee for a service advertised as retouch. For example, if you charge $65 for a virgin relaxer and $45 for a so-called retouch, then you have just cheated yourself out of $20. Why cheated? For several reasons: If you actually timed yourself in doing a so-called retouch on one inch of new growth as opposed to doing a virgin head of eight inches, it will take you longer to do one inch of new growth than it would to do eight inches of virgin hair, because you have to be careful to not overlap beyond the point of new growth to keep from damaging hair that was previously relaxed by over processing. This extra precaution requires 34

서 자주 쓰이는 말로, 특히 영구적인 헤어 컬러와 헤어 릴 렉싱에서 자주 쓰이는데, 실제로 그 의미는 처음에 정확 하게 손질이 되지 않는 것을 다시 한다는 의미이다. 법률 적인 용어로는, 이 서비스는 비용과 관련되지 말아야한 다. 다시 말해서, 당신이 서비스를 제공할 때 리터치로 광 고를 한다면, 당신의 고객은 이 서비스에 대해서는 비용 을 지불할 필요가 없다는 것을 광고하는 것이다. 도덕적 으로 그들은 당신에게 비용을 지불할 책임이 있지만, 법 적으로는 그렇지 않다. 법의 정신은 그들이 이 서비스에 대한 비용을 지불해야 한다고 하지만, 법의 문자로는 그 렇지 않다. 수정이라는 용어는 작업을 교정하는 것으로 이 서비스는 비용과 관련이 없다는 것을 언급한다.

대부분의 미용실들은 리터치로 광고를 하면서 적 은 비용을 고객들에게 부과하기 때문에, 실제적으로는 비 용이 많이 든다. 예를 들어, 당신이 순수한 릴렉서 서비스 로 65불을 청구하고 45불을 소위 말하는 리터치로 청구 한다면, 당신은 20불상당을 스스로 손해보고 있는 것이 다. 왜 손해인가? 그 이유는 다음과 같다. 만일 당신이 8 인치의 긴머리에 작업을 하는 대신 1인치의 새로 자라는 모발에 소위 말하는 리터치, 수정 작업을 하는 것으로 시 간을 소비한다면, 8인치의 긴 머리 작업보다 1인치의 새 로 자라는 부분 작업이 더 오래 걸릴 것이다, 왜냐하면 이 미 여러 차례 릴렉서를 사용한 기존의 모발 부분의 손상 을 방지하고 새로 자라는 모발과의 경계와 겹치게 리터 치되지 않도록 더욱 신경을 써야하기 때문이다. 이런 추 가적인 세심한 예방을 위해서 당신은 더 많은 시간과 주

more of your time, attention and professional know-how, yet you are charging less money for this service. The only reason why is because you used a maximum of $2 worth of less product, but in terms of cost, this amount of product reduced your price for a service that is going to take you longer to do with more professional skills.

If you check back on all the treatments you have completed in the last 12 months, you will probably find 70 percent or more were so called retouches that you do for less money, and of those retouches I believe you will find only a small percentage of them were patrons you or any other professional did the original treatment on. The fact is, most virgin perms are not done in beauty salons, they are done at home with drug store kits, but they come to you, the professional, for this service. They come to you

의와 전문가적인 노하우를 할애하게 되지만, 실제적으로 는 더 낮은 비용을 고객들에게 청구하고 있는 것이다. 이 렇게 하는 단 한가지 이유는 이 작업을 위해 당신이 사용 하는 제품의 비용이 겨우 2불 정도이기 때문이다. 그러나 비용과 관련해서는, 이러한 제품의 비용이 당신의 서비스 비용을 낮추게 하지만, 더 많은 전문가적인 당신의 기술 과 긴 시간을 소요하게 만들 것이다.

지난 12개월간 제공한 모든 트리트먼트 서비스 를 체크해보면, 아마 70% 혹은 그 이상이 당신이 적은 비 용을 청구하면서 수행했던 소위 말하는 리터치였을 것이 며, 내가 보기에 이 리터치 고객 가운데 단지 몇 퍼센트만 이 당신이나 다른 전문가가 이전에 오리지널 트리트먼트 를 제공한 경우일 것이다. 문제는, 대부분의 첫 번째 퍼머 는 미용실에서가 아니라 약국에서 구입한 제품으로 가정 에서 행해지고, 그들은 리터치를 위해서 당신이나 전문가 를 찾는다는 것이다. 그들이 당신에게 오는 이유는 새로 자라는 모발을 손상시키지 않고 정확하게 손질하려면 어 떻게 해야 하는지를 알기 때문이고, 당신은 낮은 비용으 June 2013 OTC Beauty Magazine

K-t-K because they know that you know how to do it correctly without damaging the hair where they don’t, and you can do it for less money. If this makes sense to you then keep on doing what you are doing; if not, the following may be of help to you.

If you are charging $65 for a virgin relaxer and $45 for the new growth treatment, then simply reduce the price of the virgin relaxer to $60. Advertise this reduction in order to take advantage of the fact that you are coming down on the price of something, and then quietly, with no fanfare, increase the price of your so-called retouch to the same $60. Owing to the fact that 80 percent of your relaxer services are so called retouch anyway, you are automatically going to increase your income without increasing your efforts to do so.

What terminology should replace the term retouch?

“New Growth Application.” This is the correct term to replace retouch because it is implying exactly what it is.

When a person needs another treatment due to new growth, you should call the service exactly what it is. Do not run the risk of advertising a service you may or may not be paid for. This same information also applies to any service that may need to be redone due to new growth, such as tinting, bleaching, permanent curling, and hair relaxing.

Many times a patron will come to you for a relaxer treatment and every time they come back, no matter how long duration there may be between treatments, they always expect to pay the lesser fee. If you insist on charging a lesser fee for the so-called retouch, now known as new growth application, then this is your prerogative. However, you should know when a retouch ceases to be a retouch; a retouch should no longer be valid after five days if being performed as corrected work, and not longer than two weeks as a redo. If you are forced to charge a reduced price for a new growth “retouch” treatment for any reason, after six months it should be considered a whole new perm.

Charge accordingly, especially if the new growth is longer than two inches.

로 그 작업을 해주는 것이다. 이런 내용을 이해했다면, 당 신이 지금하고 있는것처럼 계속하면 된다. 만일 그렇지 않 다면, 다음의 내용들이 아마 도움이 될 것이다.

만일 당신이 순수한 릴렉서 서비스에 65불을 청구 하고, 새로 자란 모발 트리트먼트에 45불을 청구하고 있다 면, 간단히 릴렉서 가격을 60불로 낮춰라. 당신이 무언가 의 가격을 낮춤으로써 어떤 이점을 얻기 위한 것이라면 이 가격을 광고해라. 그리고 조용하게, 어떤 시끌벅적한 팡파 레없이 리터치 가격을 60불로 인상해라. 당신의 릴렉서 고 객 중 80%는 어찌되었거나 리터치 작업를 위한 것이기 때 문에, 당신은 이를 위해 더 많은 노력을 기울이지 않고도 자동적으로 수입의 증가를 보게 될 것이다. 리터치를 대신할 수 있는 용어는 무엇이 있을까?

“New Growth Application.” 이것이 리터치를 대신 할 수 있는 정확한 용이이다. 왜냐하면, 이 용어는 그것이 정확히 무엇인지를 의미하고 있기 때문이다. 사람들이 새 로 자란 모발이 자랄 때나 어떤 트리트먼트가 필요할 때, 당신은 그 서비스가 정확히 무엇인지 부를 수 있어야만 한 다. 당신이 비용을 받을 수 있을지 없을지도 모르는 어떤 서비스를 광고하는 위험 부담을 갖지 말아라. 이같은 정보 는 염색이나 부분 탈색, 영구 컬링이나 헤어 릴렉싱과 같 이 새로운 모발의 성장때문에 다시 행해져야하는 어떤 서 비스에도 적용된다.

당신의 단골들은 릴렉서 트리트먼트를 위해 다시 올 것이고, 그들이 매번 올 때, 트리트먼트 사이에 얼마간 의 간격을 두었는지에 상관없이, 그들은 늘 지난 번 보다 는 적은 비용을 지불하기를 기대할 것이다. 만일 당신이 소위 말하는 리터치 또는 New Growth Application 작업에 낮은 금액을 책정하고자 한다면, 그것은 당신의 자 유이다. 그러나 당신은 리터치를 하기 위해 언제 리터치를 중단해야 하는지를 알아야만 한다. 만일 정확하게 작업이 된 상태라면 5일 이후에는 리터치를 하지 말아야 하고, 재 작업(redo)을 위해서는 2주를 넘겨서는 안 된다. 만일 당 신이 어떤 이유로든 새로 자라는 모발에 대한 리터치 트리 트먼트에 인하된 비용을 청구해야만 한다면, 6개월 후에는 완전히 새로운 펌으로 간주되어야 한다. 정확하게 청구해 라. 특히 새롭게 자라난 모발이 2인치 이상 길다면 더욱 정 확하게 비용 청구를 해야 한다.

Knowledge to Know

by Torain

The International Beauty Show New York was an

exciting surprise for the importers, distributors and users of human hair. Although all of the major products companies were not present, there was nevertheless a full house. The entire show seemed to be devoted to hair extensions. It was surprising to see how large and elaborate some of the stages were.

Extensions This major resurgence of the popularity of hair extensions was basically all dedicated to peoples other than the black race. Actually this is not a strange thing. The blacks are known to be a group in which a considerable number utilize a tremendous variety of different types of hair additions. However, they represent a minority of the people in this country and they depend almost entirely on some form of braids to attach the commercial hair securely to the natural hair. It is a healthy, dependable method with them only.

Other ethnic groups do not enjoy this advantage and as a result have come to depend on the Fusion technique and the many offshoots of this highly popular method to extend their hair. The basis of which is a small bit of adhesive that is colored to match the shade of the natural hair at the upper ends of the hair strand. This pre-attached adhesive is melted through the use of a pair of heated plyers in order to add it to the natural hair at the root. Consequently it will appear to be a normal hair strand that is growing right out of the scalp.

Every company that displayed this technique (and there were

many) had a slightly different spin on it. This was seen in either the tools that they used to achieve this or the shape of their adhesive.

A common technique was what is called the lace tip. This is when the adhesive tip is shaped like a shoe lace tip. To attach this one, the natural hair would be pulled through the top of a small tube that is commonly called micro ring. The lace tip is inserted from the bottom, leaving the tip inside of the Micro ring and smashing the ring closed tightly with a special pair of pliers that has been manufactured for that express purpose.

In order to achieve a longer lasting effect with the glue, there is another method that is used with somewhat greater frequency to secure the hair to the head. In this case the adhesive is shaped like a fingernail so that the natural hair strands lays snugly into the groove created by the shape and then the electrically heated pliers melt and squeeze the glue together, binding the natural and commercial strands together at the root.

Wigs The Korean dealers represented an impressive number of the exhibitors that were there to display there wares. Another area that showed tremendous popularity was the wigs. Among the most dramatic innovations was a truly fashionable cap made by Hair Art. It was the most advanced technologically produced wig ever, using a filament that was so sheer that it was virtually undetectable when worn by (among other persons) the company’s president Mr. Jackie Yu.

saw it was amazed at this extraordinary advancement in the field of wig making.

Beauty suppliers should make every effort to investigate this novel breakthrough in wigs. It will undoubtedly be a fabulous seller as soon as the consumers that depend on wigs are made aware of this phenomenal development.

Tools There were many new ideas in flat irons and blow dryers, but the one that was the most exciting and most technologically advanced was by far the apparatus called the “Fume Iron.” Its purpose was to draw any smoke or fumes from the air through small vents in the sides of the flat iron and through a tube down into a box to which it was attached. It was fashioned to take the toxic fumes out of the air that are created by the use of Formaldehyde in many of the new straightening formulas that are becoming very popular today. Any smoke that comes as a result of using the hot iron or any other source in the salon would be drawn into the flat iron and down into a vent in a box that sat on the floor. It attracted a great deal of attention.

I used to be caught up in the spin cycle of thinking that net worth automatically afforded me life worth. I sacrificed time with my family with the justification that I was providing necessary material things, but at a certain point you realize that money doesn’t make you rich, it just allows you to buy more stuff.

Priorities for professionals have shifted; now, U.S. workers seek family wellbeing above all else. We need to bring humanity back to business. Leading corporations are aware that most professionals today – 70 percent – would trade a pay raise for an increase in personal wellness, but employers are struggling with that.

According to a new American Psychological Association survey released in March, 48 percent of employees say their employers don’t value a good work-life balance.

누구나 복잡한 자신의 삶에 압도되어 있으며, 그 가운데에서 가정과 직장 생활에서의 행복을 극대화할 수 있는 방법을 필사적으로 찾고 있다. 나는 순자산이 나에게 인생의 가치를 제공해준다는 생각의 굴레에 사로잡혀 있었다. 물질적인 것을 제공하고 있다는 나름대로의 정당성을 가지고 가족과의 시간을 희생시켰다, 그러나 어떤 시점에서 당신은 돈이 당신을 부유하게 만들지는 않는다는 것을 깨닫게 된다, 단지 당신이 좀 더 많은 것을 살 수 있게 해줄 뿐이다. 직장인들의 우선 순위도 변하고 있다; 현재, 미국의 노동자들은 가족의 웰빙을 우선으로 추구한다. 우리는 비지니스안에 인간미를 되돌려놓을 필요가 있다. 선두기업들은 오늘날 70%의 대부분 직원들이 임금 인상과 개인의 건강을 교환하고 있음을 감지하고 있지만, 고용주들은 그에 따른 어려움을 겪고 있다.

3월에 발표된 새로운 미국 심리학 협회의 조사에 따르면, 직원의 48%가 자신의 고용주는 좋은 직장 생활의 균형에 가치를 두지 않는다고 말했다. 더 많은 직장인들이 자신의 행동을 순자산 가치의 중심으로

More professionals are trying to find a path to life worth, rather than centering their behavior on net worth. Below are five ways career-minded individuals can achieve both:

두기보다는 삶의 가치를 위한 길을 찾으려 노력하고 있다. 다음은

1. Look for signs you’re falling into the net-worth trap: For me, those signs were clear. One day it was like someone had smacked me on the head when my son, then 12, walked away in dismay after I said I couldn’t play baseball with him because I was too busy working on a business proposal. The look of disappointment on my son’s face was something I will never forget. I dropped everything and spent the day with his son. I promised that would never happen again.

The next occurrence included a mental and physical breakdown after I pushed myself to make an unnecessary business trip while sick. After a 19-hour ordeal in a delayed flight to Spain I knew in my bones that if I did not draw the line right there I would ruin every part of my life that mattered to me.

1. 당신이 순자산 가치의 함정에 빠져있다는 징후를 찾아라.

커리어 마인드를 가진 개인이 이 두 가지를 모두 성취할 수 있는 5 가지 방법들이다:

나에게, 그런 징후들은 명확했다. 어느날, 사업 제안서때문에 너무 바빠서 함께 야구를 할 수 없다고 아들에게 말하자, 12살짜리 내 아들이 당황한 기색으로 가버리는 것을 보았을 때, 누군가 내 머리를 후려치는 듯했다. 아들의 얼굴에서 보았던 실망한 표정은 결코 잊을 수 없을 것이었다. 나는 모든 것을 내려놓고 그날 아들과 시간을 보냈다. 그리고 다시는 그런 일이 없을 거라고 약속했다. 다음은 아픈 몸을 이끌고 꼭 필요하지도 않은 출장을 강행한 후 심신이 완전히 지쳐버린 일이 발생한 적이 있다. 스페인으로 가는 비행기가 지연되면서 19시간의 시련을 겪은 후, 나는 만일 바로 거기에서 선을 긋지 않으면 나에게 중요한 인생의 모든 부분들을 망치게 될 것이라는 것을 뼛 속 깊이 알게 되었다.

2. 단지 고용되지 말고, 고용될 자격을 갖춰라. 당신이 자영업자가 아니라면, 당신의 직업적 운명을 조정하는 누군가에게는

2. Don’t be an employee, be employable: Unless you are self-employed, you are always vulnerable to someone else controlling your professional destiny, and therefore, your life worth. But employees can empower themselves by diversifying their skills so that they can have more choices about where and for whom to work.

항상 약자가 된다, 그 때문에 당신 인생의 가치도 다른 사람에 의해 좌지우지된다. 그러나 직원들은 자신의 능력을 다양화하여 스스로에게 권한을 부여할 수가 있고 그로인해 그들은 어디에서 누구를 위해 일한 것인가에 관한 다양한 선택권을 가질 수 있게 된다.

3. 나쁜 일들은 좋은 사람에게 일어난다. 역경은 우리 모두에게

3. Bad things happen to good people: Adversity finds us all. No one enjoys the worst, most painful moments of their lives. Nonetheless, life events like loss of a loved one, financial ruin, divorce, addictions or illness tend to define us. We need adversity in our lives. Anyone can be a rock star when life is perfect, but when adversity strikes, then the “real” you is revealed. How you face adversity can either extinguish you or distinguish you.

찾아온다. 아무도 최악의 상황, 자기 인생의 가장 고통스러운 순간을 즐길 수는 없다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 사랑하는 사람을 잃거나, 재정적인 파탄, 이혼, 중독, 질병과 같은 인생의 사건들은 우리를 더욱 확고하게 만드는 경향이 있다. 우리 인생에서 역경은 필요하다. 인생이 완벽할 때는 누구나 록 스타가 될 수 있다, 그러나 역경이 닥칠 때, “진정한” 당신의 모습이 드러난다. 당신을 소멸시킬 수도 있고 반대로 더욱 도드라지게 만들 수도 있는 역경을 당신은 어떻게 대처할 것이가.

4. Believe in something bigger than you: There will be times when you are utterly helpless, with no control over an outcome. All the money in the bank and all the authority at work will do no good when it comes to, for instance, the death of a loved one. Believing in something bigger than you is an important part of having life worth; it helps you maintain your emotional health when you face life’s biggest challenges.

4. 당신 자신보다 더 큰 무언가를 믿어라. 당신이 완전히 무기력해져서 결과에 대한 어떠한 제어도 할 수 없을 때가 언젠가 있을 것이다. 그런 때가 오면 통장의 모든 잔고나 직장에서의 모든 권위도 소용이 없게 될 것이다, 예를 들자면, 사랑하는 사람이 죽었을 때처럼. 당신보다 더 큰 무언가를 믿는다는 것은 삶의 가치를 갖는 중요한 부분이다. 그것은 당신이 인생의 가장 큰 도전에 직면했을 때, 당신의 정서적 건강을 유지하도록 도와줄 것이다.

5. Don’t Major in the Minors: As Henry David Thoreau wrote, “The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.” For every evening spent late in the office there are moments professionals miss out on and can never get back.

Many of us spend time on things that ultimately don’t matter.

“The three greatest gifts you can give to your family are: time, memories and tradition,” Thoreau said. “These are things in life that matter.”

5. 사소한 것을 중요하게 여기지 말라. Henry David Thoreau( 헨리 데이빗 소로)가 썻듯이, “어떤 것의 대가는 당신이 그것을 위해 교환한 삶의 양이다.” 매일 저녁 늦게까지 사무실에서 시간을 보내는 동안, 당신이 잃어버리고 결코 다시 돌이킬 수 없는 순간들이 있다. 우리들 대부분은 궁극적으로 중요하지 않은 일에 시간을 보내고 있다. “당신이 가족들에게 줄 수 있는 가장 큰 3가지 선물은: 시간, 추억, 그리고 전통이다” 고 Thoreau가 말했다. “ 이것들이 인생에서 중요시 되야 할 것들이다”.

5 Tips for Family Business Succession Planning

hen it comes to family business succession planning, one thing is certain: Most family business leaders don’t do it, they don’t do it well, or they wait to do it until it’s too late. While the CEO longevity in non-family businesses is an average of six years, for a family owned businesses CEOs tend to stay for 20-25 years.

Sure, that long tenure contributes to leadership stability and consistency, but it can also fuel flat growth, narrow business focus, and decreasing leadership drive. Additionally, when the CEO and other top level executive family members do not step aside in a timely manner, it causes a high level of frustration in the next generation who is ready to charge forward and make their mark. Once it becomes clear that the children might reach their mid to late fifties before taking over, it becomes hard to hold on to the ambitious ones. That’s why all family businesses need to have a solid succession plan in place—one that helps the senior generation leave with ease and welcomes the well-prepared next generation.

While succession planning can happen at any level within the organization, we commonly think about the top five to eight key positions for a written, structured succession plan. So as you plan your company’s future leadership, keep these points in mind.

1. Think beyond seniority. Many family business executives choose their future leaders based on seniority (i.e.: “She’s the oldest, so she will be our next CEO.”). In some families, the next in line is the oldest male. Of course, a single owner can make the easy decision to pass the business leadership to the child of their choice. But this “easy” choice can backfire if the adult child or the one with the most seniority has not gained respect from other family members and employees. In other words, often the easy choice or the obvious choice isn’t the best choice.

Therefore, be open to broadening your search beyond the next of kin.

2. Embrace a more professional process of skill evaluations, performance assessments, and reviews of career history. The more thoughtful, objective, and inclusive the process of bringing on the next leader is, the more likely that the transition will be embraced.

Succession readiness calls for a written transition plan and an individual development plan for the future CEO within three years of the planned succession date.

3. Rank possible successors based on key criteria. Rather than just appoint the next oldest family member to the leadership role, consider creating a list of all the possible successors and rank them, from 1 to 10 (with 10 being high), in each of the following areas: • • • • •

족 비즈니스 승계 계획에서, 한가지 분명한 것이 있다. 대부분의 가족 비즈니스 리더들은 그러한 계획을 세우지 않으며, 잘 하지도 못하거나, 혹은 때가 너무 늦도록 기다리기만 한다. 비가족 비즈니스의 CEO 수명은 평균 6년인데 반해, 가족 소유의 비즈니스 CEO들은 20-25 년까지도 유지하는 경향을 보인다.

물론, 긴 임기는 리더쉽의 안정성과 일관성에 기여한다, 그러나 평면 성장, 좁은 비즈니스 초점, 리더쉽의 약화 등을 부채질하게 될 수도 있다. 게다가, CEO와 다른 고위급의 가족 구성원이 적절한 시기에 물러나지 않을 경우, 만발의 준비를 하고 자신의 두각을 드러낼 준비가 되어 있는 차세대 승계자에게 큰 당황스러움을 줄 수가 있다. 그럴 경우, 자녀들은 승계를 하기 전 이미 50대 중, 후반이 될 수도 있다는 것은 자명한 일이며, 그런 그들이 열정을 가지기에는 더욱 힘들어진다. 이것이 모든 가족 비즈니스가 시니어 세대가 편안하게 떠나고 잘 준비된 다음 세대를 맞을 수 있도록 준비된 단단한 승계 계획을 가져야만 하는 이유이다.

승계 계획은 조직 내의 모든 레벨에서 일어날 수 있지만, 우리는 일반적으로 상위 5-8개 정도의 주요 직책을 서면으로 구체화된 승계 계획으로 생각한다. 그러므로, 당신의 비즈니스 차기 리더쉽에 대한 계획을 세우고, 항상 염두에 두기 바란다.

1. 연공 서열 이상을 생각해라. 대부분의 가족 기업 임원들은 연공 서열에 따라 자신들의 미래 지도자들을 선택한다. (예를 들어, “그녀가 가장 연장자니까, 우리의 다음 CEO가 될 거야”). 어떤 가족들에서는, 다음 순서는 가장 나이가 많은 남성이다. 물론, 단독 소유주인 경우는 자신이 선택한 자녀에게 사업 권한을 넘겨주면 되니까 결정은 쉬울 수 있다. 그러나, 이러한 “쉬운” 선택은 성인 자녀나 가장 연공 서열이 높은 다음 승계 예정자가 다른 가족 구성원들이나 직원들로부터 존경을 얻지 못할 경우 역효과를 낼 수 있다. 다시 말해, 손쉬운 선택이나 말할 나위 없이 당연한 선택이 종종 최선의 선택이 아닐 수가 있다. 따라서, 친족 이상의 범위까지 넓게 둘러볼 수 있도록 시야를 열기 바란다.

2. 기술 평가, 수행 평가, 경력 검토 등 보다 전문적인 과정을 포괄해라. 다음 지도자를 선정하는데 보다 사려 깊고, 목적 의식이 있으며 포괄적인 과정을 거칠수록, 더욱 포용력 있는 전환이 이뤄질 수 있다. 승계 준비에는 계획된 승계일로부터 3년 이내의 미래 CEO를 위한 개인개발 계획과 서면 전환 계획이 필요하다.

3. 주요 기준에 따라 승계 가능자의 순위를 매겨라. 다음 순서로 가장 나이가 많은 가족 구성원을 차기 책임자로 예정하기 보다, 승계 가능한 모든 사람들의 목록을 작성하고 다음의 항목에 따라 1부터 10까지(10이 가장 높은 점수) 순위를 매겨봐라.

• 과거 업무 경험과 발전 경력

•교육

•학습 민첩성

•이전 리더쉽 위치- 지도력의 규모와 범위

•발전 잠재력

•발전 욕구

Advancement desire Interpersonal skills Assessment of the individual compared to the company’s values and leadership competencies Past performance ratings The ability to take risks Decision-making ability Problem-solving ability

Doing this for each potential successor will help you see which ones are best positioned to move the company forward. Finding a successor with the right mix of skills, attitude, drive, character and experience that matches your business will ensure the family company succeeds for the long term.

4. Groom the next generation. Once you have a successor in mind, offer him/her additional development through such things as job rotations, stretch assignments, additional responsibility and additional exposure to customers. The more emphasis you place on prepping the next leader, the smoother the transition will be.

5. Consider a non-family leader. When a family business member utters the words, “Let’s consider a non-family CEO,” the first reply is usually a colorful no! However, a non-family CEO frequently brings diverse, in-depth experience to drive business growth, bringing professional alliances, partnerships and strategy opportunities. They can be a great mentor for the next generation of family leaders—often then known as a “bridge CEO” from one generation to the next. While the family may hold all the stock, it is critical to develop a performance incentive that will reward and retain the non-family CEO and an employment agreement that will fairly treat and protect the CEO. Choose Who’s Next Thoughtful, on-going planning for succession is a must for long-term business success and sustainability. Therefore, start now. Develop a clear plan about the succession of senior leader positions, including who will be next, when the transition will take place, and how that successor will be groomed to make the move smoother. The more planning you do now, the better the future will be—for you and your family business.

•대인 •개인 •과거 •위험 •의사 •문제

관계 능력 평가와 회사의 가치 및 지도자 역량 비교 실적 평가 감수 능력 결정 능력 해결 능력

각각의 승계 가능자들에게 이 항목을 적용해보면, 회사를 더욱 발전시키기 위해 누가 가장 적임자인지를 구별하는데 도움이 될 것이다. 당신의 회사와 잘 어울리는 능력과 태도, 추진력, 성격 및 경험들이 적절히 혼합된 승계자를 찾는 것은 가족 회사의 장기적인 성공을 보장할 것이다.

4. 다음 세대를 준비해라. 마음 속으로 결정한 승계자가 있다면, 그들이 업무 순환이나 업무량 증가, 고객들과 대면하는 기회를 늘이거나 추가적인 책임 등을 통해 보다 더 자기 개발을 하도록 제시해라. 당신이 다음 지도자를 위한 준비를 더욱 강조할수록, 보다 부드러운 승계의 전환이 이뤄질 것이다.

5. 가족 구성원이 아닌 지도자도 염두에 둬라. 가족 비즈니스 구성원이 “ 가족이 아닌 CEO도 생각해 보자.” 고 발언을 하면, 첫 번째 반응은 일반적으로 다양한 목소리로 “No” 이다! 그러나 가족이 아닌 CEO 는 비즈니스의 성장을 촉진하기 위해서 종종 다양하고 깊이 있는 경험을 가져온다. 그들은 차세대 가족 지도자를 위한 훌륭한 멘토가 될 수 있다.

- 종종 한 세대에서 다른 세대로의 “다리 역할을 하는 CEO”로 불린다. 가족이 모든 주식을 보유할 수는 있지만, 비가족 CEO를 보호하고 공정하게 대우할 수 있는 고용 계약을 유지하고 성과에 따른 인센티브를 개발하는 것이 중요하다. 누가 다음이 될지 선택해라. 승계를 위한 사려 깊고 진행 중인 계획은 장기적인 비즈니스의 성공과 지속 가능성을 위한 필수요소이다. 그러므로, 지금 시작해야 한다. 누가 다음이 될지, 언제 전환이 이뤄질지, 부드러운 승계로의 전환을 위해 다음 승계자는 어떻게 준비시킬지 등을 포함한 명확한 승계 계획을 만들어라. 지금부터 많이 계획할수록, 당신과 당신의 가족 비즈니스를 위한 미래는 밝을 것이다

Hair Starts From Inside

Natural is the key word for all types of products and services offered in today’s society. The average consumer is becoming more aware of their health and wellbeing as it relates to looks and long life. The hair care industry is no different. We now have a well developed ethnic hair care category for natural hair with all types of products that have a dash of natural this and a bit of organic that. The aisles are filled with an array of oils, essences, fruit and vegetable extracts. With all this talk of ingredients it makes one think of the main concepts of healthy natural living. If we take this type of care to choose products with natural ingredients to go on top of our head, imagine the effect of a well-balanced, natural diet. Healthy hair starts from the inside.

The key to a good head of hair is always a combination of what goes into the body as well as what is applied externally. This type of knowledge will only enhance the OTC shopping experience.

I became a pescetarian over 17 years ago. This type of diet is based mainly in vegetarianism, but my diet also includes dairy and seafood. The change arose out of a need to have a more natural lifestyle and way of living. I saw a dramatic change in my overall wellbeing and though I use the number one loc and twist category in the game, Jamaican Mango & Lime, the growth and strength of my hair changed dramatically. It is important to not only sell products to our customers, but to also educate them on how diet can and will always affect their hair. If you encourage customers to switch to a more naturally-based diet to supplement their use of quality hair care products you add value to the service and goods you provide to them. It also comes with a great deal of credibility that builds customer loyalty—which is paramount within the OTC class of trade.

A well balanced diet is good for anyone and can often reverse the effects of many mild ailments, but it is interesting to look at how different foods affect both skin and hair. One of the top hair care concerns is hair loss and thinning. Some causes are genetic and others can be attributed to damage cause by chemicals our hair care tools, but the professionals agree that certain foods have been proven to help fortify the hair over time. Hair is made from cells and foods that are high in protein help the body build healthy cells. Foods such

as salmon and yogurt that are high in protein, vitamin D and vital fatty acids that reinforce the hair and can fight against damage and breakage. Fruits like blueberries have qualities that aid in healthy blood flow throughout the scalp. This nourishes the hair production center within the hair follicle and distributes nourishment evenly.

Beta Carotene and Vitamin A, found in veggies like carrots and sweet potatoes, are also a good source of nutrients for the hair development process. We also cannot forget to suggest our customers eat their greens as folate is essential to strong moisturized natural hair.

Though it can be hard in today’s society, finding time to fit some sort of aerobic activity in has been reported to improve the quality of skin, hair and nails. As consumers purchase their pick of natural shampoo, it is good to suggest that water is good for cleansing and nourishing the hair both inside and out. The latest statics show that the jury is out on the 8 to 10 glasses a day as scientists have discovered that the proper amount is relative to body type and weight. And finally, sleep is essential to good hair production. We sell a lot of hair nets, wave caps and satin bonnets for all hair styles, but 8 to 12 hours of rest is truly needed to make magic happen under any bonnet. During the hours of sleep the body replenishes moisture and nutrients while regenerating and producing healthy cells.

According to the Journal of Medicine, it only takes a daily balance of food to truly produce what the body needs. So there is no point in over eating any one particular food to produce a result.

Careful food selection is all that is needed to see a result, and improvement is seen over time. Studies show a change can take up to 10 weeks of consistent diet and lifestyle change. I am always pleased to give the consumer what they need and I truly believe that it is more than just my business to produce good quality products; it is my responsibility to educate the consumer on all aspects of hair care. This is good customer service and a great value to add to any naturally based product that is sold. So while the industry works hard at bottling nature’s goodness, let’s be sure that the consumer is educated on how to truly get the full benefit of all natural products by choosing their foods wisely.

Jackson is the owner and president of Professional Products Unlimited, Inc. makers of one of the first complete products lines in the industry for the care and maintenance of natural ethnic hair types, Jamaican Mango & Lime.

OTC Beauty Magazine June 2013

With everyone running outside to enjoy the warm summer weather, we are exposing ourselves to the elements: organic and synthetic. Everyone knows how to protect their skin from sun and pool chemicals, but few think about the potential damage done to hair. Excessive sun exposure can cause hair to become brittle, frizzy, dry or faded. Chlorine from pools also dries and discolors hair.

Luckily there are ways to prevent or reverse damage.

The best way to keep hair healthy is to keep it moisturized, in spite of summer sun and heat. When spending a considerable amount of time in the sun, people should protect their hair and prevent loss of moisture.

Wearing hats is the prime method for this. Hats with broad rims are especially effective, especially for long hair, and also protect the face. Opaque scarves are also a good option. Wearing hair up in a bun, knot, or braid protects hair by exposing less of it and prevents frizz.

Avoiding other drying activities will also help prevent hair damage. Avoid hot styling tools like blow dryers, hot irons, and rollers. If you must blow dry, use a dryer that has different heat levels and use a lower one.

Shampoo less. Shampoo prevents hair from absorbing natural moisturizing oils produced by the body, so wash hair less or use gentler cleansers like conditioner only or diluted shampoo washes. When washing with shampoo, try a more moisturizing one than normally used.

However, definitely use a cleanser to wash out harsh pool chlorine every time you swim. But use less of other hair products and try to avoid those containing different forms of alcohol. Use products that are as natural as possible.

Of course summer hair damage can still occur despite one’s best efforts, but there are options for restoring hair health when this happens.

Experts suggest using silicone-based hair products to fight hair damage wreaked by UV rays. These products condition and moisturize hair. Leave-in conditioners and styling creams are also good for hair after a day of sun.

These also moisturize and can be used even if hair hasn’t been shampooed.

Deep conditioning treatments are great for hair frequently exposed to sun. These treatments are applied to hair and then wrapped and worn for an extended period of time, such as overnight, in order to repair and remoisturize damaged hair.

Having hair trimmed will get rid of unhealthy frizzy ends, preventing split ends and making hair look better.

Hair can get sunburned just like skin, and severely burnt hair is best cut off.

When going out to enjoy summer weather and activities be sure to take preventative action against hair damage and take care of previously damaged hair.

Following these tips you’ll be able to enjoy summer vacation while looking and feeling great with healthy hair.

모두가 뜨거운 여름을 즐기러 외출하는 시간이 잦아지면서, 우 리는 여러 요소들에 노출된다. 유기(오가닉)와 합성. 자외선이 나 수영장의 화학 성분으로부터 모발을 어떻게 보호해야하는 지는 모두 알고 있다. 그러나 모발에 미치는 잠재적인 손상에 대해서 생각하는 사람은 많지 않다. 과도한 자외선 노출은 모 발을 잘 부서지고 푸석하고 건조하며 퇴색되게 만들 수 있다. 수영장의 표백액 또한 모발을 건조하게 만들며 탈색시킨다. 다 행히도 이런 손상을 방지하거나 되돌릴 수 있는 방법들이 있다.

모발을 건강하게 유지하는 최선의 방법은 여름철 자외 선이나 더운 날씨에도 지속적으로 수분을 유지하는 것이다. 자 외선에 노출되는 시간이 많을 경우, 반드시 모발을 보호하고 수분 손실을 방지해야한다. 모자를 착용하는 것은 주된 방법 중 하나이다. 테두리가 넓은 모자가 긴머리에 특히 효과적이며 또한 얼굴도 보호할 수 있다. 불투명한 스카프도 좋은 방법이 될 수 있다. 머리를 묶거나 틀어올리는 것도 자외선에 노출되 는 것을 줄일 수 있어서 모발이 곱슬해지는 것을 방지하게 된 다.

기타 여러가지 건조한 활동을 피하는 것도 모발 손상을 예방하는데 도움이 될 것이다. 헤어 드라이어나, 아이언, 롤러 와 같은 열처리 기구의 사용을 피해라. 만일 부득이하게 드라 이를 해야한다면, 온도 조절이 가능한 드라이어을 저온으로 사 용해라.

샴푸를 줄여라. 샴푸는 인체에서 만들어지는 천연 보습 오일이 모발로 흡수되는 것을 막기 때문에, 가급적이면 머리를 너무 자주 감지 말고, 컨디셔너와 같은 아주 부드러운 세정 제 품이나, 희석된 샴푸를 사용해라. 샴푸로 머리를 감을 때는, 평 소보다 더 충분한 보습을 하도록 애써야 한다. 물론, 수영장을 다녀온 후에는 반드시 클린저로 독한 수영장 표백액을 씻어내 야 한다. 그러나, 다른 헤어 제품의 사용을 줄이고 알콜의 다른 형태가 함유된 이런 제품들은 가급적 피하는 것이 좋다. 가능 하면 천연 성분의 제품을 사용해라. 물론 여름철에는 최선의 노력에도 불구하고 모발 손상 이 여전히 발생할 수 있지만, 손상된 모발의 건강을 복구할 수 있는 몇 가지 방법들이 있다. 전문가들은 모발이 자외선에 의해 손상되는 것에 맞설 수 있 는 실리콘 기반의 헤어 제품을 사용할 것을 권장한다. 이런 제 품들은 모발에 컨디셔닝과 보습을 공급한다. 자외선의 노출이 많은 날에는 leave-in (바른 후 씻어내지 않는) 형태의 컨디 셔너나 스타일링 제품을 사용하는 것도 좋은 방법이다. 이 제 품들은 보습 효과도 있으므로 모발에 샴푸를 하지 않았을 때도 사용할 수 있다.

딥 컨디셔닝 트리트먼트는 자외선에 자주 노출되는 모 발에는 아주 좋은 방법이다. 이 트리트먼트를 모발에 바른 후 덮어서 장시간 혹은 밤새도록 흡수되도록 두면, 손상된 모발을 보수하고 보습하는데 도움이 된다. 모발의 끝부분을 손질함으로써 건강하지 않고 푸석한 부분을 제거하고, 끝이 갈라지는 것을 방지할 수 있으며 머리결도 더 욱 건강해보일 것이다. 모발도 피부처럼 자외선에 의해 화상을 입을 수 있으며, 자외선으로 심하게 상한 모발은 잘라내는 것 이 최선이다.

여름 날씨와 활동을 즐기러 외출할 때는 모발 손상을 방지할 수 있는 예방법을 반드시 지키고 이미 손상된 모발은 관리를 하는 것이 중요하다. 이런 방법들은 건강한 모발 상태 를 유지하면서 여름 휴가를 즐길 수 있는데 도움이 될 것이다. articlesbase.com에서 발췌한 내용입니다.

Belson Products

by Haley McNeal

According to Tom Gebhart, Belson’s Senior VP and General Manager, the beauty industry was built on newness: the latest hair styles, products and the newest tools. OTC Beauty Magazine was able to discover more about Belson and how the company fits into both the fashion world that Gebhart claims “dictates hair trends, colors and clothing designs,” and the beauty industry that “helps deliver trends to the everyday consumer through innovation, technology and vision.” 벨슨사의 수석 부사장이자 총괄 매니저인 Tom Gebhart에 따르면, 뷰티업계는 최신 헤어 스타일과 제품들, 그리고 최신의 기구들과 같은 새로운 것들을 기반으로 세워졌다고 한다. OTC 뷰티 매거진은 벨슨사에 관한 많은 것들을 발견할 수 있었고, 이 회사가 Gebhart 가 주장하는 “헤어 트랜드와 색상, 의류 디자인에 영향을 주는” 패션분야와 “혁신과 기술 그리고 비전을 통해 소비자들에게 날마다 트랜드를 전달하는” 뷰티 분야 모두에 잘 어울리는 이유에 관해서도 알 수 있었다.

OTC Beauty Magazine June 2013

OTC Beauty Magazine (OTC): Briefly describe the history of Belson. How did this company get started and what is it founded on?

Tom Gebhart (TG): A recognized name in the hair appliance business for more than 50 years. Belson began in 1963 by Mr. Belvin Friedson, who took the “Bel” from his first name and “son” from his last name to create its identity.

Acquired by El Paso-based Helen of Troy in 2007, Belson currently has eight professional brands ranging from hair tools to professional shears.

OTC: How is the company structured and what brands is it comprised of?

TG: Belson has a wonderful portfolio of brands, but the most important brand is definitely Gold ‘N Hot. Originally designed for the ethnic hair care market, Gold ‘N Hot has grown into a very strong multicultural brand with a broader focus on expanding its consumer base. Under the Gold ‘N Hot brand, we have added the Laila Ali signature series, TITANIUM, Carino, and GNH. Each sub-brand is targeted to key consumer groups. Laila Ali was designed as professional tools anyone can use. TITANIUM has the latest technology offering affordable pricing.

Carino is an Italian inspired product line offering performance and style. GNH is an entry price brand for those on a budget.

OTC 뷰티 매거진(OTC): 벨슨의 역사에 대한 간략한 소개 부탁드립니다. 회사는 어떻게 시작되었고 무엇으로 설립되었는지요?

Tom Gebhart(TG): 저희 회사는 50년 이상 헤어 기구 산업 분야에서 넓게 인식되고

있는 이름입니다. 벨슨은 1963년Belvin Friedson에 의해서 시작되었는데, 그의 이름 앞 글자인”Bel”과 성의 뒷 글자인 “Son”를 합쳐서 회사 이름으로 사용하게 되었습니다.

2007년El Paso에 기반을 둔Helen of Troy에 인수되면서, 벨슨은 현재 헤어 기구부터 전문가용 가위에 이르기까지 8개의 전문 브랜드를 가지고 있습니다.

OTC: 회사의 구조는 어떻게 되며, 어떤 브랜드로 구성되어 있습니까?

TG: 벨슨은 아주 멋진 브랜드 포트폴리오를 가지고 있습니다만, 가장 중요한 브랜드는

단연코Gold ‘N Hot입니다. 원래는 특정 인종의 헤어 케어 시장을 겨냥해서 디자인 되었는데, Gold ‘N Hot은 소비자 기반을 점점 넓혀가면서 아주 강력한 다문화 브랜드로 성장했습니다. Gold ‘N Hot 브랜드 아래에, Laila Ali 시그네쳐와, TITANIUM, Carino, GNH를 추가했습니다. 각각의 하위 브랜드는 주요 소비자 그룹을 목표로하고 있습니다.

Laila Ali는 누구나 사용할 수 있는 전문가용 기구로 디자인되었으며, TITANIUM은 저렴한 비용으로 제공되는 최신의 기술을 갖고 있습니다. Carino는 기능과 스타일을 동시에 제공하는 이탈리아적인 제품 라인이고, GNH는 저렴한 가격의 브랜드입니다 OTC: 2012년, 벨슨은Gold N Hot 이름으로Laila Ali와 라이센스 계약을 하였습니다.

OTC: In 2012, Belson acquired a license agreement with Laila Ali under your Gold N Hot name. What prompted you to target Laila to be targeted as a spokesperson for Belson?

TG: Laila Ali has been branching out with liquid lines and other assorted items.

After meeting with her about the appliance segment, it was obvious she is a good fit to partner up with Gold N Hot. Not only has she used Gold N Hot products for several years, but she also has a background in beauty that not too many people know about. She attended beauty school at a very young age and shortly after had a nail salon. She prides herself on the fact that she does her own hair and wanted to partner up with a company that she trusted. We feel her wholesome family image, sports and fitness background, and celebrity status made this a perfect fit for Gold N Hot and Belson.

벨슨의 대변인으로서, Laila를 선택하게된 배경이 무엇인지 설명해 주시겠습니까?

TG: 오늘날, 소셜 미디어의 출현과 함께, 저는 마치 90년대 브룩클린에 있던 저희 미용

OTC: Who is the main audience for your products and what steps are you taking to ensure their needs are met?

TG: Gold ‘N Hot is still the number one brand in the ethnic market; however with recent success of sub-brands added for all ethnicities, the market is expanding in virtually every sales channel. Our customers want quality products at competitive prices. Belson is a trusted leader. Our company has the resources to bring the latest in technology at value prices. The quality control and Engineers at Helen of Troy is top.

재료 매장 계산대 뒤에 서 있는 것처럼 고객들의 소리를 들을 수 있습니다. 어떤 이들은 제품이 너무 비싸서 쉽게 구매하기 힘들다는 비평도 하더라구요, 그래서 저희가Makari Naturalle을 만들게 되었는데요, 고품질의 천연성분이 다량 함유되어 있으면서도 더욱 저렴해진 라인으로 Makari의 대명사인 제품입니다. 포장 원가를 절감하여 고객들에게 제공함으로써 저희 제품의 가격을 더욱 저렴하게 할 수 있는 것이죠. 따라서 대중들과 더욱 가까워질 수 있게 되죠. 이제 저희 Makari 제품이 유색 피부를 가진 모든 여성들의 일상적인 뷰티 관리의 일부라는 것에는 변명의 여지가 없습니다.

OTC: 벨슨 제품의 주요 대상은 누구이며 그들의 요구를 충족하기 위해 추진하고 계신

OTC: What sets your products apart from similar ones in the industry?

TG: The way we develop our items. We work very hard to stay trend conscious and consult our stylists. We also travel extensively attending shows, events, salons, and beauty stores where we hear directly what our customers’ needs and wants are. This keeps us focused on what is trending in the category.

다음 계획은 무엇인가요?

TG: Gold ‘N Hot은 여전히 소수 인종 시장에서는 최고의 브랜드이지만, 모든 인종을

위한 하위 브랜드를 추가하는데 최근 성공했으며, 모든 판매 채널 확대로 시장을 넓혀가고 있습니다. 저희 고객들은 경쟁력있는 가격의 질 좋은 제품을 원합니다. 벨슨은 신뢰할 수 있는 선두주자입니다. 저희 회사는 최신의 기술을 저렴한 가격으로 제공하는 방법을 가지고 있습니다. Helen of Troy의 기술진과 품질 관리는 최고입니다.

OTC: What is the best way for retailers to position your items and effectively market them in their stores?

TG: The simplest answer is that they need to make products accessible to the customer. Many stores keep our appliances behind the counter forcing the customer to engage the staff if they want to buy something. The best way to sell something is to have the price clearly marked on the items and have them presentable and accessible on a shelf. Consumers like to read the package to identify its features.

They want to make sure before they purchase that it is the right tool for their needs.

OTC: 귀사의 제품이 업계 유사 제품들과 구분되는 이유는 무엇일까요?

TG: 아이템을 개발하는 저희만의 방법이죠. 저희는 유행에 민감하기 위해 대단히

노력하며 스타일리스트들과도 많은 상담을 갖습니다. 또한 쇼나 이벤트, 살롱, 뷰티 매장 등 고객들의 요구와 그들이 원하는 것을 직접 들을 수 있는 곳이면 어디든 찾아 다닙니다. 이런 것들이 바로 저희가 지속적으로 현재의 트랜드에 집중할 수 있게 합니다.

OTC: 소매상인들이 귀사의 제품을 효과적으로 배치하고 판매할 수 있는 가장 좋은 방법은 무엇일까요?

OTC: Explain how your OTC store partners and our readers can benefit from carrying Belson products.

TG: The products we manufacture are all tested and pass the most stringent certification process to make sure we have the absolute best tools. All of our products carry a 1-year warranty; a testament to their quality. We have virtually all the important price points and styles that will enable a consumer to find something that fits their unique style and preference.

OTC: What is the biggest challenge with doing business in the beauty industry?

How is the company rising to that challenge?

TG: There is more competition, but consumers still recognize and trust Belson for

TG: 간단히 답하자면, 소비자들이 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 제품을 만들 필요가 있습니다.

많은 매장들은 저희 기구 제품들을 계산대 뒤에 배치해서 소비자들이 구매를 원할 때는 직원들에게 먼저 문의를 하도록 하고 있습니다. 제품 판매를 위한 가장 좋은 방법은 제품에 정확하게 가격을 표시하고 고객들이 진열대에서 쉽게 접근할 수 있도록하는 것입니다. 소비자들은 제품의 특성 파악을 위해 포장에 명시된 내용들을 읽고 싶어합니다. 그들은 제품 구입 이전에 자신들이 원하는 제품인지를 우선 확인하길 원합니다.

OTC: OTC 매장 파트너와 저희 독자들이 벨슨 제품을 취급함으로써 얻을 수 있는 혜택에 관한 설명 부탁드립니다.

TG: 저희가 제조하는 제품은 모두 테스트를 거쳤고 엄격한 인증 과정을 통과했습니다.

quality products. Our company has the resources to bring the latest in technology at competitive prices, which a lot of these newer companies coming out in the marketplace do not. Many of these lower end brands are built without the strict quality control and engineering prowess we have at Belson.

OTC: What is the newest innovation and/or advancement Belson has undertaken?

TG: Titanium technology. It is a safer conductor of heat. The straightening irons have Titanium plates and the curling irons Titanium barrels; it glides through the hair smoother, eliminating cool and hot spots. This means you have to pass less through the same section of hair. The less you pass heat through the section of hair (even safe heat), the less damaging to the hair. Also, it saves styling time.

OTC: How do you educate consumers and retailers on product knowledge? Do you have an online presence?

TG: We are actively involved with social media including, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. We have been utilizing these networking models with great success in promoting our new items, public relations and education. Our YouTube channel serves as a great educational tool to show exactly what styles our tools create.

OTC: What are Belson’s plans for the rest of 2013? Specifically, do you plan on attending Cosmoprof North America in July?

TG: We are launching 18 new items this summer at Cosmoprof. These items have been carefully chosen to expand the Gold ‘N Hot brand with the newer technology and styles needed enabling our customers to achieve those new looks trending today.

We are always working to expand our global presence and plan to introduce new items with universal voltage, and also more products in different categories leveraging the power of the Gold ‘N Hot name.

시선의 전환은 편안함을 가져다 줍니다 Supreme Beauty Supply • Vidalia, GA 20년 전인 1993년, 삼성 이건희 회장의 “마누라하고 자식 빼고 다 바꿔라” 라는 유명한 말로 시작된 신경 영이 오늘의 삼성을 있게 했다고 한다. 그 당시에 국 내 1위 기업이었음에도 불구하고 ‘자신의 처지를 알 고, 의식부터 바꾸자’ 라는 이건희 회장의 남다른 사 고방식 때문에 가능한 일이기도 하였다. 하지만 현재 세계 굴지의 회사로 자리매김한 삼성이 또 다시 새로 운 변화를 예고하고 있다. 지속적으로 생각을 전환하 고 시선을 돌려 끊임없는 발전을 꾀하고자 함이라 한 다. 지난 수년간 뷰티 업계가 불황을 겪고 있어 많은 뷰티인들이 경영상 어려움을 토로하고 있다. 이는 전 세계적인 경제 침체를 미국도 같이 겪고 있다는 근본 적인 이유도 있지만, 그 동안 넘칠 정도로 많은 뷰티 서플라이 스토어가 생겨, 과도한 경쟁을 하고 있는 현 실 때문이기도 하다. 이를 타파하기 위해 많은 뷰티 인들은 새로운 방향을 모색하려 하고, 가격만으로 경 쟁을 하고 있는 현실에서 벗어나야 한다고 입을 모으 고 있다. 하지만, 실질적인 변화를 만들어 가는 스토 어는 찾아보기 힘들다. 물론, 하루아침에 생각을 바 76

꾸고 새로운 경영방향을 결정한다는 것이 쉬운 일은 아니다. 하지만, 주어진 환경을 잘 둘러보면 반드시 그 해답을 찾을 수 있을 것이다. 이번에 OTC 뷰티 매 거진에서 인터뷰한 Vidalia, GA 에 위치한 Supreme Beauty Supply 의 임경숙 사장은 오래 전부터 대부 분의 뷰티 서플라이 오너들과는 다른 방향으로 계획 을 세우고 십 여년 간의 노력으로 그 결실에 한 발짝 씩 다가가고 있었다. 그러한 임사장의 얼굴에선 조급 함이란 찾아볼 수가 없었다. 그녀의 이야기를 풀어보 도록 하자.

내 몸에 맞는 옷 1994년에 도미하여 1995년부터 뷰티 서플라이 스토어를 운 영하기 시작했다는 임사장은, 미국으로 온 후 5~6 개월간의 뷰티 서플라이 근무경험을 전부로, 과감히 스토어 운영에 뛰 어 들었다. “미국에서 일어서려면 본인의 비즈니스를 해야 한 다고 생각했습니다” 라는 임사장은, 남편의 직장과 자식들의 학교 때문에 10년간 1시간 30분 거리의 스토어로 출퇴근 하 였다고 한다. “제가 일을 하던 스토어 근처에 스토어를 열 수 는 없었기에 좀 멀리 떨어져 있는 장소에 스토어를 오픈하게 되었습니다. 하지만, 아이들이 학교에 잘 적응을 하고 다니고 있는 터라, 갑작스러운 환경변화를 주고 싶지 않아 왕복 3시 간 거리의 출퇴근을 강행하였습니다” 라고 한다. 그 10년동안 자동차 3대를 바꿀 정도로 운전을 했다는 임사장은 스토어를 경영하는 오너이기도 했지만, 두 아이의 엄마이기도 하기 때 문에 가능한 일이었다고 한다. 그렇게 억척으로 스토어를 운 영하던 임사장은 몇 년 후, 더욱 넓은 스토어로 옮기고, 하나 의 스토어를 더 열어 비즈니스 규모를 키워갔다고 한다. “처 음에 1,200 sq ft 규모의 스토어에서 시작하여 6,600 sq ft 규 모의 스토어로 넓혀 갔는데, 이상하게 큰 스토어가 어딘지 모 르게 불편 하였습니다. 그러다 태풍피해로 스토어를 정리하면 서 현재의 3,000 sq ft 규모의 스토어로 옮겼습니다” 라며, ‘ 지금의 사이즈가 나에겐 가장 적당한 규모’ 라는 생각을 했다 고 한다. “사이즈가 중요한 것이 아닌 것 같습니다. 좀 작은 사이즈라도 안정감 있게 잘 관리를 해 나간다면 훨씬 알차게 운영해 나갈 수 있다고 생각합니다” 라며, 어떠한 상황에서도 본인이 전체적인 컨트롤을 할 수 있는 규모가 가장 적당하다 는 본인의 생각을 덧붙이며, 요즘도 아침에 스토어 문을 열고 들어설 때가 가장 행복할 정도라고 한다.

백인들을 공략한 새로운 시장 임사장의 스토어가 위치한 Vidalia 시티는 흑인보다는 백인들 의 인구가 더 많다고 한다. “현재 백인 고객들은 35% 정도 되 는 것 같습니다” 라는 임사장은 이러한 환경을 구축하기 위해 June 2013 OTC Beauty Magazine

객들간의 분위기가 좀 어색한 것도 없지 않았다고 한다. 임사 장은 “하지만 시간이 지나다 보니, 지금은 굉장히 자연스러워 졌습니다” 라고 한다. 현재 많은 뷰티 서플라이 스토어들이 극 심한 경쟁을 피하기 위해 흑인 이외의 다양한 인종을 겨냥해야 한다고 말한다. 하지만, 지역적인 문제도 있고, 또 어떻게 시작 해야 할지를 몰라 피일차일 미루고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 임 사장처럼 수많은 실패를 딛고, 시간을 투자하다 보면 노력에 대한 대가가 돌아오는 날이 반드시 생길 것이다..

남다른 고객 응대법 사람들은 월마트의 가격이 저렴하다는 것을 알면서도 게스 스테이션에 가서 물건을 사기도 한다. 이는 원하는 제품을 신 10년이 넘는 시간 동안 각고의 노력을 기울였다고 한다. 처음

를 해주기 시작했습니다. 물론 돈은 받지 않습니다”. 이러한 Supreme Beauty Supply 만의 서비스로 인해, 특별한 마케팅 없이도 입소문으로 고객들이 찾아온다고 한다.

적절한 제품의 구비가 손님들의 발길을 움직인다 스토어 오너라면, 어렵게 스토어 안으로 들어온 고객들이 빈 손으로 나갈 때만큼 속상한 경우는 없을 것이다. 하지만 무수 히 쏟아져 나오는 신제품들을 모두 취급할 수는 없는 노릇이 라, 지역의 고객들이 어떠한 제품들을 필요로 하는지 잘 파악 하는 것이 재고 관리의 핵심일 것이다. 임사장은 “가장 많이 판매되는 제품군은 Hydrating, Moisturizing, Volumizing 의 기능을 가지고 있는 제품들 입니다” 라며 Supreme Beauty Supply 를 방문하는 고객들이 어떠한 제품들을 원하고 있는 지를 명료하게 정의 하였다. “이러한 기능의 제품들이 새로 출시되면 가급적 취급을 하려고 합니다” 라며 “고객들이 스토 어에 들어 왔을 때, 필요로 하는 제품들이 있어야 단골이 됩니 다” 라고 덧붙였다. 선반의 제품들을 줄 맞춰서 깔끔하게 정 리하는 것은 물론, 제품의 패키지가 바뀌면 과감하게 할인을 하여 기존의 제품들을 소진한다고 한다. 이는 제품의 최상 품 질을 유지하려는 일환으로, 고객들에게 신뢰를 쌓아가는 또 하나의 노하우라고 한다. 이제는 자녀들이 모두 성인이 되어 부모로서의 역할을 어느 정도 해냈다는 마음에 안정적이고 편안함을 느끼고 있다는 임 사장은, “애들도 다 잘 자라주었고, 저도 특별히 큰 지출이 없 기 때문에 마음이 한결 여유롭습니다. 예전에는 계획한 목표 가 있었고, 그것을 이루기 위해 계속 달려 왔지만, 이제는 그 목표들을 이뤘기 때문에 앞으로 또 다른 큰 계획을 세우지는 않을 것 같습니다” 라는 임사장은 “마음을 내려 놓았기에 욕 심도 버릴 수 있어 마음이 편안합니다” 라고 한다. 인터뷰 내 내 밝은 표정을 하고 있는 임사장의 얼굴에서 요즘 다른 스토 어 오너들에게선 좀처럼 보기 힘든 편안함이 묻어 나왔다. 그 녀의 앞날도 지금과 같이 편안한 날들이 지속되길 바래본다.

Many individuals suffer from razor bumps and uncomfortable shaves, due to sensitive skin, curly hair patterns and shaving options that irritate the skin. The Andis co. has created two products that will help solve this problem for millions of people. The combination of the Andis Superliner trimmer with shaver attachment and the Andis Bumpcare solution provide an alternative method of bump and irritation-free shaving. Men and women alike can enjoy smooth skin in commonly shaven areas, by using the combination of these two products.

The suggested process to obtain bump-free shaving is as follows: First, with the trimmer blade attached to the Superliner trimmer apply the trimmer to areas desired to be shaven, reducing the hair down to short stubble. Second, remove the trimmer blade from the Superliner and connect the shaver attachment. Apply firm, overlapping strokes with the Superliner shaver to the short stubble left behind by the trimmer blade. Use your opposite hand to stretch the skin to allow the shaver attachment to shave as close as possible. Third, moisten a hand towel or wash cloth with hot water and apply to shaven areas for 30 seconds to open the pores. Fourth, apply Andis Bumpcare solution to the skin with a cotton ball or cloth to the shaven areas to prevent razor bumps and calm the skin. The combination of the smooth shave obtained by the Superliner shaver attachment and the prevention of razor bumps by the Bumpcare solution leaves the skin smooth, bump and inflammation-free.

Andis Bumpcare is available in the form is pre-saturated wipes and liquid in 4 fl. oz and 12 fl. oz sizes.

I would suggest placing the combination of these new Andis tools together in highly visible, high traffic areas because most of the customers entering into your store can benefit from both items. You can also benefit from increased sales while solving a problem that millions of people suffer from.

Therapy Trends Hair Care Fueled

by Oil Imports Drilling down to the various sub-segments of the hair care industry is like drilling for oil—argan oil, olive oil, Moroccan oil, Marula oil and castor oil. Imported natural oils are the basis for many weightless conditioners, styling products and even relaxers. As most OTC consumers experiment with hairstyles that are physically and chemically traumatic, products that restore and strengthen continue to fuel the industry. Ten thousand hair care products were launched in 2012. Over 10 new oil-based ingredients have been flagged as the secret elixir from the Orient, Africa or the Caribbean. Your customers will decide if the key ingredient is an exotic oil that will add shine, provide color protection, guard against heat styling, and define curls or defeat frizz. Oily concepts can also fuel misconceptions.

Whether a naturalista or sporting color-treated or processed locks, breakage is the consumer’s number one concern. Dryness of the hair and scalp causes a wide array of hair care issues; a rough surface looks and feels dull, tends to frizz, is prone to tangling and splitting.

Dryness is combated by oils, volume is produced with oils, and hair is fortified against breakage by oils.

Whether oil qualities are natural or delivered as a silicone, every beauty treatment requires an aftercare serum. Anti-frizz, color protection and replacement of natural oils are required qualities. Every product on the shelf must deliver a basic function and a beautifying finish. Nourished, healthy hair is a lifestyle. Your clients want a well-oiled fusion of performance and protection for their portrayal of personal style.

Elayne McClaine has identified and developed emerging domestic and global trends in hair care, skin care and other consumer categories for such firms as Chesebrough-Pond’s, Revlon and Pharmacia (div. of Pfizer). Her expertise in therapeutic treatments for hair, skin and scalp led to the creation of the Women’s Institute for Fine and Thinning Hair, sponsored by Rogaine.

McClaine has been acknowledged by the American Academy of Dermatologists for marketing and promotional excellence.

TONSORIAL TIMES Expect an Unexpected Service

Recently I visited a few barbershops in New York, Florida and Atlanta, and I found some differences in the service levels in these regions.

Some of these challenges may be related to time, profits, product knowledge, or the lack of owner preferences and barber board requirements.This brings me to the topic of washing the clients’ hair before cutting and styling their hair.There are strong opinions concerning this topic in all the regions I visited, so I personally feel obligated to educate and share the pros and cons of making the service mandatory in the barbershop.

Upon visiting the Legends barbershop located in Harlem, NY, which is owned and operated by Kamal Nuru, I was surprised to see a nice selection of products—shampoos, conditioners and other grooming products—available to the clients. After checking in, the barber directed the client to the wash bowl to get his/her hair washed and conditioned.This was all part of the service they provide. Now in Florida we were given a choice to get a wash for an additional charge and in Georgia there was no choice offered in most, but not all shops; clients went directly from the street to the chair.

Pros of washing: • Hair is now free of oils and debris before placing clippers and trimmers in the hair.

• This will prolong the life of the clipper blade and reduce infection of the scalp and skin.

• This is also an opportunity to find moles, colic’s ringworm or lice in your clients’ hair or scalp.

• Retail products to clients for increased revenue.

Cons of not washing: • Some barbers prefer not to wash because it reduces the amount of clients they can cut in a day.

• You may need to hire a person to simply wash and prep clients which may cost more money.

• Oil and debris will cause your blades to dull faster and increase your need to service and deep clean your clippers.

• You will reduce your opportunity to increase revenue by retailing products to clients.

Overall, we have found an increase within the industry to offer washing the clients’ hair prior to cutting. This service can be found largely in franchises like SportClips, Kennedy’s All American Barbershop, Roosters and Knockouts. Keep up the good work!

Wella’s Reuben Carranza Named Spirit of Life Honoree

City of Hope’s National Professional Salon Industry will honor Reuben Carranza, North American CEO of Wella, the Salon Professional Division of P&G, with its 2013 Spirit of Life® Award.

The Spirit of Life Award is City of Hope’s most prestigious philanthropic honor, presented annually to an industry leader who has demonstrated outstanding business and altruistic achievement. City of Hope will bestow the Spirit of Life Award on July 13, 2013, at Cosmoprof in Las Vegas.

Carranza has chosen to direct funds raised during his Spirit of Life campaign toward City of Hope’s cutting-edge research in diabetes. Coming from a family ravaged by this chronic disease, Carranza has seen the impact diabetes had on his mother and his aunt, both hairdressers, as they struggled to continue to work behind the chair.

Building on more than four decades of groundbreaking discoveries, City of Hope’s lifesaving research and treatment advances improve the lives of people around the world. Numerous breakthrough diabetes and cancer drugs are based on technology pioneered by City of Hope researchers, including synthetic human insulin, now used by millions of diabetics every day.

“I’m proud to support City of Hope and the groundbreaking diabetes research being conducted there. City of Hope is an organization that is

committed to creating longer and healthier lives for our salon professionals,” said Carranza. “I’m humbled and honored to receive The Spirit of Life Award and be recognized by my peers in the beauty industry – all of whom believe that City of Hope’s lifesaving research improves the quality of life for our hairdressers and for people around the world.”

Reuben Carranza joined P&G in 1990 and has held significant positions in many divisions. Carranza can be credited for integrating Clairol and Nioxin into Wella’s portfolio, and for the re-staging of two legendary salon brands, Sebastian Professional and Wella Koleston Perfect. Most recently, as CEO he has led the blockbuster launch of Wella Professionals Care and Styling in North America and the relaunch of the iconic Clairol Professional brand.

He serves as an active member on the boards of the City of Hope National Professional Salon Industry, Beauty Changes Lives, and the Professional Beauty Association.

“We are privileged to honor Reuben Carranza, whose extraordinary vision and innovation has redefined the beauty industry,” said Britta Bucholz, City of Hope, Sr. Director of Philanthropy. “It is fitting that he receives The Spirit of Life Award, which recognizes an honoree’s outstanding leadership and contributions to the community and his profession.”

IndustryNews Philips Norelco and Bump Patrol Search for Smoothest Man on Facebook A man’s competitive nature drives him to try to prove himself constantly in most every aspect of his life: sports, careers, cars and women. To tap this penchant to prove it, Bump Patrol, the no. 1 razor bump treatment from M&M Products Co., and Philips Consumer Lifestyle, which markets and sells Philips Norelco shavers, have joined forces to create the “Prove Your Smooth” Facebook app campaign, suggesting that a smooth look goes hand-in-hand with smooth actions. It engages men in a rivalry among friends while it introduces the new Philips Norelco CareTouch electric razor, a razor that is smooth on skin and tough on ingrown hairs.

At ProveYourSmooth.com, a man can take the challenge by connecting his Facebook account to the microsite, allowing it to analyze his public profile and social interactions for how they convey his smooth factor. The website, which also has a mobile version, gathers his information and runs it through a custom “smooth” analysis to generate a score up to 1000 points. A high score means he’s a smooth operator; a low score means he needs to “man up” and work his magic. Each man sees a breakdown of his results and how he could earn more points. He is then encouraged to size himself up against his friends by sending challenges to their walls on Facebook that dare them to join the competition.

All participants are eligible to enter a sweepstakes to win one of five Grand Prizes that

includes the combination of a Philips Norelco CareTouch electric razor and a year’s supply of Bump Patrol shave gels and aftershaves, a value of over $100. An additional five men will score a Philips Norelco CareTouch electric razor, and five others will receive the entire Bump Patrol collection. Each of the first 5,000 to enter will receive Bump Patrol samples packs.

The brand alliance targets African American men, who more commonly suffer from shaving irritation, razor bumps and ingrown hairs since their hair tends to be thick and curly.

CareTouch is Philips Norelco’s best shaver for ingrown hairs. Bump Patrol’s shave gels lubricate the skin and hair for an easy-glide shave. Its therapeutic aftershaves contain soothing agents, antiseptics, humectants and emollients to prevent and treat skin irritation, which could otherwise lead to razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

The Discover Beauty program is a high-end, curated section centrally located on the show floor combining the best of both worlds: a one-on-one customized buyer program complete with pre-arranged faceto-face meetings to take place in private meeting room spaces as well as a traditional exhibition presentation.

This allows the brands to enjoy the exposure to all attendees at the show, but it also guarantees the face-to-face time with select specialty retail buyers to secure placement into key accounts.

All Discover Beauty brands are automatically enrolled for the 2013 Discover Beauty Award. This award is given to one brand, which is recognized for its creativity in concept, packaging and overall ability to succeed in this competitive retail market. The winner is selected by industry leaders, beauty editors and participating retailers. The Discover Beauty Award winner will be announced on the evening of Sunday, July 14 as part of a private reception.

Sunny Isle Featured on Dr. Oz Beauty Website Sunny Isle, the product line created by JBC Distributors, was recently featured on Dr. Oz’s beauty website, YouBeauty.com. This brand of Jamaican black castor oil was mentioned in an article titled, “Caribbean Beauty: Three Must-Have Brands.”

The article explains how Jamaican black castor oil has increasingly gained popularity throughout the U.S., “but it’s taken Jamaicans a while to come back around to using their grandmothers’ hair and skin staple.”

Regardless of the time it took customers to come around, this product is making quite a stir within the industry. Find the article at www.youbeauty.com/skin/caribbean-beauty-brands, and learn more about the JBC Distributors at www.jamaicanblackcastoroil.com.
