When you’re having a bad hair day, you are having a bad day. Our hair affects our self-esteem. This is true for every woman. And for this reason I decided to partner with a local women’s shelter to encourage self-esteem through healthy hair care. The shelter serves women that have been victims of abuse whether its domestic or substance. Regardless, the type of abuse their self-esteem has been negatively impacted.
In past years, I have been apart of a self-esteem initiative. Not only is it an humbling experience to give back but truly touching to see how something so simple as donating your time and gently use hair products can change a life. Some of the ladies have never experienced pampering treatments such as a shampoo and deep conditioning.
Self-esteem and hair care are very dear to me. I am happy Eden Body Work has joined Natural Hair Rules as a proud sponsor of this cause by providing their Peppermint Tea Tree Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Oil. Eden Body Work Peppermint Tea Tree line stimulates the hair and mind. Exactly what anyone needs to feel renewed and refreshed to tackle a new beginning.
Do you have tons of hair products laying around? Have you been looking for someone to give them to? Organizations like the one I am partnering with usually have a wishlist of need items that include hair products for women of color. Use your product junkism for a good cause.

January 15, 2014 at 9:15 pmI lived at a group home for 3 years and my hair suffered horribly I had to chop off like 5 in to get it back to health it’s so important to help the kinky curly girls at these homes being made fun of for how nappy and dry your hair is just adds stress you don’t need when you are already without a family and friends!
