Altovise Pelzer moved to Maryland from Philadelphia, PA. She is a mother, best-selling author, speaker, Tele-Summit Strategist, Founder of the online Your Voice & Reactivate Me Communities, VIP Live Streamer, and head script writer for Breaking Free International.

Homelessness and molestation greatly affected Altovise’s decision to motivate women and youth to find their unique voice. She takes women from abuse to applause by equipping them to Define, Accept, and Use their Unique Voice as a speaker or author. Women after abuse go through numerous self harming actions that start with a seed of low self-esteem. We know that there is no “one size fits all” solution for helping women who have gone through abuse. Through E-courses, live events, books, and social media Altovise wants to touch and transform the lives of women globally one woman at a time.

This Natural hair movement has created experts, novices, and everything in between on how to care for and style natural hair.As more women embark on that journey, they seek out experts to learn how to properly care for their natural hair. My journey has caused me too to become an expert…about my own hair. So instead of seeking experts, become one, of your own natural hair.

You may have heard terms such as porosity, density, 4b/c hair along with a host of techniques. But no two hair textures are exactly alike. What works for one person’s style, products, or methods may not work for another.All is not lost when caring for your hair. There are three basic things you need to know: 1. Hydration 2. Moisture 3. How much does your hair need?

Hydration- Hair needs water. Our bodies are made up of 70% water so naturally some of that water is in our hair. Have you ever had frizz? Frizz is your hair absorbing hydration from the atmosphere. Hydration keeps hair from drying and breaking. Hair is soft when wet. But when it dries it’s hard. That’s because the water has not been locked in so when it dries, it goes right back to being dry and brittle. Moisturizing seals in the water thus giving you that softness, manageability, and reducing evaporation.

Moisture–Hair needs oil/fatty acids. Our bodies naturally produce oil to moisturize our hair and skin. This oil gives hair its shine, prevents drying, and protects against external substances. It’s called sebum, composed primarily of fatty acids. When sebum is in excess, hair can appear oily. Often the problem we face is amongst our activities, products we use, and the environment, our hair gets stripped of these natural oils. So we have to replenish it. I believe most if not allAfrican/African-American hair has a curl pattern that is soft by nature. Course hair does not equal hard hair. Our hair has been conditioned to be that way through the products we use.

How much of each does your hair need? As you study your hair, you will begin to know what it needs. Hair that has been straightened absorbs oil better. Hair in it’s natural state needs oil and water in the form of a lotion. Once you understand these three concepts, you too can become an expert of your Natural hair. When hair is properly hydrated and moisturized, it’s naturally soft, shiny, and curly.
