3 COLORATIONS TEMPORAIRES POUR CHEVEUX AFRO

par Olivia Rose 

Avez-vous envie de changer de couleur de cheveux l’instant d’une journée mais retrouver votre couleur naturelle le lendemain? Si comme moi, vous aimez la couleur naturelle de vos cheveux mais souhaiterez changer de style plus souvent, essayez une coloration temporaire!

Chez vous, pour une dizaine d’euros et en moins de 10 minutes, retrouvez vous avec un afro rouge vibrant, des mèches blondes ou les pointes d’un violet intense!

Pourquoi optez pour une coloration temporaire?

– Pour changer de style pour une soirée, une journée ou une semaine sans engagement. Vous recouvrerez votre couleur naturelle après seulement un shampooing.

– Une coloration permanente fait intervenir des produits chimiques qui altèrent de manière permanente la nature de vos cheveux. Pour obtenir une couleur vibrante sur cheveux très foncés par exemple, une étape de décoloration est nécessaire avec des produits chimiques décapants, ce que risque d’abimer vos cheveux de manière irreversible. Une coloration temporaire se “pose” sur la fibre capillaire et se rince au shampooing.

Voici 3 méthodes qui vous permettront de colorer vos cheveux sans les abimer pour moins de 10 euros:

1)   SPRAY DE COULEUR:

– Vous trouverez les sprays de couleurs dans des magasins spécialisés de coiffure, de fêtes/déguisements, les magasins de discounts tels que Megastore ouTatie ou sur le Net.

– Un spray coûte en moyenne entre 2€ et 5€.

– L’odeur du spray est très forte, comme une odeur de laque. Appliquer le spray dans un endroit ventilé, de préférence à l’extérieur  Ce serait dommage d’avoir une super couleur mais d’être drogué et high au spray pour cheveux!

– Ça vous évitera aussi de tager toute votre salle de bain en rose.

– Porter un vieux t-shirt lors de l’application. Même si la couleur se rince très facilement au lavage, on ne pas tenter le diable et porter la dernière robe qu’on a acheté qui nous a coûté une fortune.

– Travailler section par section, placer le spray à une vingtaine de centimètres de vos cheveux et commencer l’application. Plus vous êtes proche de vos cheveux, plus la couleur sera intense. Attention aux yeux!

– Éviter aussi d’appliquer la couleur sur les cheveux qui seront en contact avec vos vêtements. La couleur risque de se transférer sur vos vêtements et les tâcher.

– J’ai remarqué que mes boucles sont moins définies après la couleur sans doute à cause de l’alcool présent dans la composition. Elles reviendront toutes pimpantes après votre shampooing! No worries, ladies!

– Laisser sécher la couleur avant de remettre en forme vos cheveux.

– Pour une coloration intense, vous aurez besoin de deux sprays, pour des mèches, une seule bouteille suffira.

2)   CRAIE POUR CHEVEUX:

Le résultat est super cool mais attention: ce n’est pas pratique à utiliser! Encore une fois, appliquer la craie à l’extérieur! J’ai essayé la première fois dans la salle à manger et la moquette (et mon mari) n’ont pas apprécié.

L’avantage de la craie est qu’elle assèche moins les cheveux par rapport au spray.

Vous pouvez aussi mélanger differentes couleurs ensembles:

3)   MÈCHES BLONDES AVEC COLOR TATTOO MAYBELINE:

Pour une couleur plus naturelle que le rouge pétant, optez pour le blond!

On va détourner l’utilisation de notre bon ombre à paupière COLOR TATTOO de Maybelline et on va l’appliquer comme notre craie pour cheveux. Vous pouvez aussi utiliser vos doigts.

 

MAINTIEN DE LA COULEUR:

– Attacher ses cheveux avant d’aller se coucher avec un foulard pour éviter de tacher vos taies d’oreillers et draps.

– Vos cheveux sont moins brillants et plus secs après votre couleur? Ajouter du spray de brillance tel que celui d’Organic Root Stimulator à l’huile d’olive pour pallier au problème!

– Après chaque couleur, faites un bon traitement hydratant que vous pouvez laisser toute la nuit. De mon côté, je suis fan de mon Hair Mayonnaise d’Organic Root Stimulator!

 

ATTENTION:

– La couleur risque de s’accrocher aux cheveux clairs et poreux et il est plus difficile de s’en débarrasser au shampooing. Faites donc un test avant d’appliquer la couleur sur tout vos cheveux.

– Appliquer la couleur sur votre afro ou coiffure déjà mis en forme. Si vous colorez vos cheveux puis ajoutez une crème coiffante pour faire un twist-out par exemple, la couleur sera moins intense.

Faites votre mis en plis, puis appliquer votre couleur.

Afro Alice – 4 lane deja!!!

1ye Janvye 2012- 1ye Janvye 2016

Jodiya fè AFRO ALICE 4 lane!!!!!!!

Mèsi ak nou chak pou èd nou sipò nou konsèy nou patisipasyon nou prezans nou ki vrèman bannou bourad epi ede chak jou pi plis rèv nou gen pou Ayiti gen pil tifi ak jènfanm ki konnen, aksepte epi renmen tèt yo jan Bondye fè yo a reyalize.

Lè nou te fèk kòmanse nan lane 2012, pi fò kominote ann Ayiti te wè cheve grenn kòm yon bagay pou machann lèt, sentaniz; yon bagay nou pa ka ale ni nan gran sòti ak li ni moun paka twouve nou bèl ak li. 4 lane pi ta, lè nou wè gwo chanjman ki genyen nan kantite ak kalite moun ki vin aksepte sa ki pou yo, sa bannou kè kontan ak ankourajman poun kontinye ede yo pi plis toujou. Gen anpil ki rete pou fèt toujou men nou kontan wè grasa ti kontribisyon pa nou chak jou nou rive pote pozitivite ak chanjman nan lavi plizyè tifi, plizyè fanm. Nou kontan nou se yon referans ak yon modèl pou kominote tifi ak jènfanm ann Ayiti nan domèn sa a.

Nou pase de 12 grenn moun a anviwon 50 000 moun kap suiv nou sou tout rezo sosyal yo ak sou blog la.  Fanmi an pa sispann grandi e chak jou rapwoche nou pi plis de rèv nou. Gen anpil ki rete pou fèt toujou men nou sou wout la e nou detèmine pou nou kontinye simen grenn k ap pèmèt nou atenn vizyon nou genyen an.

Ekip Afro Alice la

Ak cheve natirèl, ou depanse mwens epi w endepandan

Gen anviwon de semèn de sa, yon dam ki Japon te kontakte nou pou l di nou li gen gwo pwoblèm pou l jere cheve natirèl li paske kote l ye a yo pa fè pwodui pou cheve natirèl moun ki nwa. Yon dam ki nan peyi Chili te kontakte nou pou menm rezon an.

Sa gen yon semèn depi yon kliyan nan yon stidyo t ap plenyen paske l achte tout gam yon pwodui, non sèlman li achte l chè anpil men gam nan pa ale ak cheve l.

Semèn ki te pase a, nou te mande pou moun pataje opinyon yo ak nou sou depans cheve natirèl fè yo fè. Eske l mwens oswa plis e te gen yon gwo majorite ladan yo ki vrèman kwè cheve natirèl yo koute yo je nan tèt yo.

Sou baz twa ensidan sa yo, nou vle fè yon ti pale ak nou.

– Annou analize premye ka a: dam ki nan peyi etranje ki panike paske yo pa jwenn pwodui YO fè pou cheve natirèl la. Eske se vre yo pa gen ankenn pwodui vre pou yo pran swen cheve yo?

Ke w te ann Afrik, ann Amerik, Oseyani, elatriye, depi latè kontinye pwodui manje pou w manje, gen pwodui pou w pran swen cheve w tou. Mwens ou depann de pwodui lot moun fè, plis ou aprann konn resous ki nan tè a ak jan w ka byen itilize yo pou cheve w ak rès kow, se mwens fristrasyon pou wou epi se mwens depandans pouwou. Toupatou w ye, wap jwenn luil, wap jwenn bè, w ap jwenn fwi, w ap jwenn fèy ak lot bagay anko ou ka byen itilize pou w pran swen cheve w.

Depi lè m te bloke nan yon vil nan yon peyi etranje, mwen te bliye pwodui cheve m ann Ayiti e m pat ka deplase al achte pwodui, m aprann depann de pwodui ki nan kizin ak nan tè. Lè sa, se moun nan kizin restoran otèl la ki te vin pi bon zanmim pou m te ka pran swen cheve m.

Ak cheve natirèl, ou san limit jeyografi. Kelkeswa peyi w ye a, ou ka pran swen yo!

– E ka dam ki te achte tout yon gam pwodui nan yon stidyo byen chè epi li pa bon pou li?

Cheve w fè pati kow ak moun ou ye a. Jan w aprann konn tet ou ak kow , se konsa w dwe aprann konn chevew. Ou pa achte pwodui anvan epi w aprann konn sa cheve w vle apre! Pou w konn cheve w, w ka swa fe rechech pesonel kap ede w konnenl oswa al jwenn moun ki ekspè nan cheve natirèl pou ki fè sa pouwou(atansyon- yon ekspè cheve PEMANANT pa FOSEMAN yon ekspè cheve NATIREL, se de bagay diferan). Nan aprann konn cheve w, w dwe konn sak fos li, sak febles li, sal bezwen pou l atenn objektif ou vlel atenn nan. Se selman le sa, w ap ka konn ki pwodui ki prale ak li. Se pa paske pwodui a ale ak yon zanmiw ki gen menm tip cheve ak wou ki fel pral avè w tou. Lèw fin konn sa cheve w bezwen, fok ou dispoze li engredyan ki sou chak pwodui w ap achte pou w we vreman vre se sa w bezwen pou chevew. Lajan fet nan di. Ou pa dwe achte pou w achte men achte sa w KONNEN ki ap bon. Leu w fin respekte tout sa e w achte yon pwodui ki pa bon pouwou, pran abitid fe echanj ak lot moun ki natirel ou konnen. Pwodui ki pa fe w byen ka fe yon lot byen. Kidonk, le nou twoke pwodui sa pemet lajan w te depanse a pa pedi e w rive jwenn yon lot pwodui ki fe cheve w byen.

– Denye ka a se ka moun ki kwè ke yo depanse PLIS ak cheve natirèl yo. Si w vreman panse sa, konnen gen yon pwoblem nan jan wap jere kob ou nan jesyon cheve w!

Premyeman, cheve natirel pran swen san pwoblem ak pwodui nan mache ke n itilize nan kizin nou e ki pa koute chè.

Dezyemman, si w fin eseye yon pwodui ou we l mache pouwou, ki nesesite w genyen pou w ap pede achte pwodui chak fwa yo propoze w fe sa osnon chak fwa anvi an montew. Si w se yon PRODUCT JUNKIE (Tizè Pwodui) ki toujou ap achte epi eseye nouvo pwodui, se chwa paw. Kidonk, se pa CHEVE W ki fe w depanse anpil se TIZE W TIZE a.

Twazyèmman, anpil nan nou two renmen bay moun fè tout bagay pou nou olye nou aprann fè yon nouvo bagay oswa fèl nou menm. Kiyes ki benyenw? Kiyes ki abiyew? Se nomal ke w ka pa yon ekspè nan pran swen ak penyen tet ou men gen de bagay de baz, ou pa oblije ap peye bay fe pouwou. Yon ti kras efo anplis pou w aprann oswa pou w fe ap edew depanse mwens. Yon chou, yon kodonet, yon swen anplis….

Cheve w bezwen dlo pou w idratel. Konbyen yon ti vaporizatè dlo pou yon semèn koutew? Li bezwen yon bon ti leave in? Konbyen yon ti ji lalwa ka koutew? Yon ti luil kokoye oswa maskreti? Yon chanpou natirèl kew ka fè lakay ou ak engredyan pou sa?

Cheve natirèl dwe koute w mwens. Si l koute w plis, al fè yon ti reflechi sou kisa w ka fè pi byen pou w jere cheve w san w pa fè twou nan poch w.

Mwen pèsonèlman, leu m pa an mod Tizè Pwodui, swen cheve m nan yon mwa pa koute m pi chè ke 556 goud!

Afro Alice Hebdo – Mica Elle

Afro Alice te kontan pran yon ti tan pou pale ak yon save nan zafè jesyon cheve natirèl la.  Y ap oganize yon evenman nan jou k ap vini yo Ayiti.  Kidonk, kontinye li pou n ka jwenn plis enfomasyon sou pwogram ki pral fet la ak moun ki oganizel la.

1- Pale nou de wou

Non mwen se Michaelle, min preske tout moun rele’m Mica. Se moun Okap natif natal mwen ye. Map viv Montreal, Canada sa gin kek tan. Sa fe 4 an ke mwen natirel, 5 an depi mwen te met pemanant. Depi 5 an sa yo map fe rechèch pou ka konnen koman mwen pral jere cheve’m yo e map kontinye toujou.

Mica – Evolution Naturelle

2- Pale nou de Evolution Naturelle

Bon Evolution Naturelle la se yon fenomen! Nou gen yon gwoup sou Facebook ki rele Naturally Yours epi nou fe plizye rankont Nouyok ak Monreyal kote map viv. Epi nou vin di ke fok nou fe plis toujou pou moun Monreyal yo.  Mwen ak bon patnèm Patricia Lilavois ak lot zanmim ki manm, nou monte Evolution Naturelle, yon gwoup ki fe atelye pou bay bonjan enfomasyon nan jere cheve natirèl.  Atelye nou pral fe Ayiti a ap 5yèm nou fè nan ennan edmi.

3- Di nou kisa ki sere nan djakout nou pou moun kap vin nan atelye k ap fet 5 jiyè ann Ayiti a.

Dabo, anpil moun pa konn koman pou jere e pran swen cheve yo nan eta natirel li. Nou pral dekotike sa de A a Z. Epi tou, nou pral montre ke nou pa bezwen antre nan yon magazen pou jwenn pwodwi pou cheve’w. Gen anpil bagay nou deja genyen la nan peyi a! Lè tout sa finn fet, nou pral ede tou moun ki la yo gen ase enfomasyon pou yo etabli yon woutin pou yo pran swen cheve yo. Depi ou konprann koman cheve’w fet, sa li bezwen, wap ka jere yo!

4- Di nou, eske ap gen pwodui tou pandan atelye a? Eske moun yo ap bezwen mache ak ti kob?

Wi. Depi 5 an, mwen fe pwop pwodwi pa’m, li rele Simbi. Se yon melanj bè ak luil pou cheve ak ko.   Se yon pwodui ki sele idratasyon byen, sa vle di depi cheve’w idrate (dlo), ou sele li ak Simbi, ou la pou kek jou. Genyen anpil kado tou pou nou bay. Ap gen panye kado ak bokal Simbi. Epi lè moun yo vini, yo pap pati de men vid. Yap jwenn echantiyon ak lot bagay anko pou yo eseye. Se le yo vini ya wè kisa. Ap genyen poud tankou Rhassoul, Ajil, elatriye tou pou achte.

5-Kounya nou pral fe yon ti pale sou cheve natirel paw.  Kisa k te konvenk w retounen natirel?

Mwen pat kapab anko! Le mwen te konn mete pemanant, depi yo rive deye tet mwen, se kouri mete pemanant lan la epi rensel menm kote a. Malgre sa mwen toujou boule! Mwen te konnen mwen pa tap mete pemanant la anko, men se pandan gran sè’m nan lopital epi nyès mwen ki natirel vinn vizite’l mwen wè cheve’l mwen di THAT’S IT! Byen fo nan lopital moun yo! Depi le sa mwen pa janm gade deye anko: Natirèl netale.

6- Ki rejim w genyen pou cheve w?

Rejim mwen senp. Mwen pa sevi ak champou sa fe 1 an edmi, mwen sevi ak savon afriken nwa (African Black Soap) ak lot savon pou cheve ke mwen achte isit nan Monryeal (tale mwen pral fe pam). Mwen toujou fe tretman nan yo ak te melanje ak ajil e lot poud endyen (gen nan yo nou genyen Ayiti, vinn nan atelye nap konnen). Rens mwen sevi a se Suave. Sak fe mwen sevi ave l la se paske li ede m avek yonn nan poud yo ki fe cheve’m byen Apre sa se dlo, lwil mwen melanje ak Simbi. Cheve yo toujou nan de dwet, sak ede m pou m jere tan ak eneji nan penyen.

7- Ki mesaj w tap bay medam ki gen pwojè vin natirèl oswa ki deja natirèl yo nan kominote ayisyèn nan?

Pou moun ki gen pwoje a, pa dekouraje! Transisyon a pa fasil sitou si ou pa janm manipile cheve’w nan eta natirel li. Nap we ke dlo se pi bon zanmi nou ta genyen. Trete cheve a tankou li te natirel: fe atansyon le wap pase peny nan pati natirel la, komanse demele nan pwent epi monte, ba li lwil pou ede manipilasyon e pou sele idratasyon an. Evite penyen ki mande pou’w penyen chak jou; ou ka fe  bantu knots, mete ti roulo pou ou fe bouklet.. wap la pou kek jou si ou fe sa. Se menm bagay mwen konseye yon moun ki natirel tou. Nan group ke nou genyen sou Facebook ki rele Marabou Vanyan, nou gen yon pati nou prete nan chante Coupe Cloue a ki di “Bal ti dlo” bay cheve nou dlo, lap kontan anpil. Cheve natirel pa yon kove non, se pi gwo delivrans mwen genyen! Epi tou, pa depann de pwodui nan magazen. Tout sa nou bezwen li nan la nati, nan lakou lakay nou, pwofite!

Ti Koze ak Afro Alice – Rale Mennen Vini sou “Scab Hair”

Anpil nan nou konn ap plenyen lè nou ap fè tranzisyon oswa lè nou fèk tounen natirèl, cheve ki nan tèt nou an pa menm cheve nou te genyen anvan nou te mete pèmanant, texturizer, elatriye. Ki fenomèn sa ye? konbyen tan li dire? sa w ka fe pou li?

Kisa cheve kwout oswa scalb hair (anglè) ye?

Cheve kwout se lè cheve nou ki grandi tou natirèl pa gen menm tip menm fos ni menm fom ak cheve nou te genyen an jeneral anvan nou te mete pèmanant, texturizer oswa koulè chimik. Cheve a grandi tou domaje epi li rèd kon bout bwa oswa li chanje totalman.

Sak lakoz fenomèn sa se move tretman nou bay cheve nou ak maltrete nou maltretel ak pwodui chimik twop.

Konbyen tan sa ka pran anvan cheve kwout oswa po tet kwout ranje?

Selon degre cheve a oswa po tet la domaje ak efo moun nan fe pou li tretel, sa ka pran ennan oswa plis pou li repare. Nan kek ka, moun nan ka pa janm rejwenn cheve oswa po tet li te genyen anvan an.

Sa w ka fe pou w trete l?
Dega ki koze fenomen nan konn sou deyo cheve a, gen lot fwa sou anndan cheve a oswa toulede. Pi bon fason pou w jere sa, se le w fe yon konsiltasyon cheve w pou yo itilize yon mikwoskop oswa yon aparey ki pemet yo byen we nan ki pwen dega a fet. Apresa, pran swen po tet ou ak cheve w ni anndan ni deyo. Len di anndan nou we nan jan nou manje ak pran swen ko nou. Nou we deyo le nap pale de swen nou fe pou cheve nou. Le konsa li bon pou nou fe swen ki plis natirel ke posib. Itilize luil ki byen rantre nan po tet la e ki repare l : kokoye, oliv, zanmann, zaboka. Mase po tet la regilyeman. Epi rive yon le, wap oblije koupe pati cheve ki konsa yo.

AFRO ALICE HEBDO – FANM MON OR THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

Afro Alice has interviewed this week an exquisite young Haitian woman with natural hair who lives in Turkey and use her gift to create original clothing, accessories, shoes and jewelry.  Read on as you get to know the face behind FANM MON: Sophia.

http://www.fanmmon.com

• Tell us about you.

I am a woman, mother, wife, lover of life, nature and all living things except mosquitoes. Lol

• Tell us about Fanm Mon.

Fanm Mon is a brand with a primary focus on handmade designs. The brand offers quality, one of kind products mostly. The designs are extremely original, and capture the attention of a selective few.

• Why the name FANM MON?

I wanted something organic that all Haitians would automatically understand once heard. I decided on the name because it felt right. I identify with such women/people of my culture. I was not brought up in a closed zuzufied environment. So growing up in Haiti, I had the opportunity to witness the difference between a woman who had her maids do everything for her, verse the machane promenading the streets with heavy loads on their head in order to take care of everyone, and most of the time, they are not able to take care of themselves. So at a very early age, I deeply embraced such efforts, resilience, and strength. When we talk of a Haitian woman, a Fanm Mon comes to mind for me automatically. History proves that I am right up to this day, lets take a look at Haitian art, it is not the woman going to get her hair and nails done every week that is drawn, rather the ones caring the heavy load, the farmers, those who were not educated in the class room but have been nature’s most attentive students. So Fanm Mon is my attempt to help Haitians to see the value of our people regardless of their back ground. Nomads exist all over the world and are respected for what they have to offer their countries and the world, we need to embrace our own the same.

• Tell us about your creations.

They are what they are, for who they are meant to be. This is what I love about what I make. I did take the advice of my husband and try to make some clothes that were “regular to most’ but I have decided stick to my calling, Fanm Mon is not about catering to the mass, I prefer its essence to be raw from all aspects. I am not a person who thinks, sees, and live life, like the majority of people on earth, and there are many individuals like me, who would connect to my art. I much prefer to create for myself and such people, not the majority. The designs that are liked by the mass are easy to find, so I will let mine work remain the elephant in the room!

• When and why did you return natural?

I have always been natural, entering High School, I wanted a perm so bad, but I mom was against it. When she finally said ok, she permed my hair and allowed me to burn, the feeling of my scalp melting of off my head, was enough for me. From that experience on, I have been either balding my head, or rocking my hair as is. It was not easy in the 90s, imagine in 1994, when all girls wanted to look like Aaliyah, I was walking around with no hair or a fro. Needless to say I had many bad looks, and murmurs, and even being pulled aside by some Haitians advising me, my hair style is not lady-like, lol. My aunts would try to talk me into a perm, but I remained true to myself and I think everyone accepted it after some points. I was not bothered by their dislike, and even at 14,  I was so head strong, my aunts and other neighbors accepted, but considered me the “grin gauche”.

• How did people surrounding you react to the change?

They could not understand it, but I made it clear it was their issue and not mine.

• Who were your supporters? Your hairspirations?

In 94? No one. I was my inspiration! My heart would rejoice at the sight of another natural or bald sister, but that was it. It was not so common.

• What is your current hair regimen?

I used soaps made in turkey by the nomads, and also baby shampoo (rarely). I put aside all of my vegetable/fruit peals, I have lots of aloe vera, cactus, hibiscus, and other plants/herbs that I soak in hot water, for rinse.

• What are your top 5 products to care for your hair?

None, I use only what I make, I have castor plant in my yard and make my own oil from the green and red plant. In the event I run out, the option would be natural oils from the herbal shops.

• What do you like most about being natural?

For me it is convenience, by the way, I will say I am not the type who worries much about my hair, I do not put so much time into styling it, I just let it be. I recently cut my hair, and will do a style per month, until I reach the point of balding it, hopefully by July.

• What do you think about the growing natural hair community in Haiti?

It is wonderful, it is very much needed in our culture, we need to embrace ourselves, natural beauty, and approve our beauty based on our standards and that of our ancestors!

http://www.fanmmon.com

• A message to the existing, upcoming and potential natural hair community?

To remain true to who you are, do not make temporary decisions based on what is in vogue; embrace yourselves and sisters as we naturally are. Most importantly, be beautiful and natural from within.

Ti koze ak Afro Alice – S.O.S Douko! Yè m te nègès, jodiya m grimèl!!!

Sou demann anpil manm paj la ak kek zanmi ekip lan, jodi a nou pral pale sou chanje koulè po.

Douko? Ki sa l ye? ki rezon kek moun bay ki fe yo fel? Ki danje sa gen ladanl?

Douko se le yon moun itilize yon pwodui natirèl a leksè oswa yon pwodui chimik pou li chanje koulè po l. Gen anpil krèm ki fèt pou sa. Ann ayiti, gen moun ki konn itilize klowox, pèmanant ak yon seri krèm tankou jèmisida, idol, elatriye.

Photo trouvee sur blackbeautybag.com

Gen moun ki douko paske yo gen tach nwa sou ko yo ke yo vle retire, yo itilize yon krem pou ki retire yo ki tou chanje koule po yo. Gen moun ki gen yon maladi ki pa ka geri ki rele Vitiligo ki touche moun ras nwa (tankou Michael Jackson) ki tou chanje koulè tout po yo pou yo pa viktim larize ak lot pwoblem yo jwenn paske maladi a defome fizik yo, gen moun ki douko yon fason pou tout ko yo ka menm koule, gen moun tou ki di yo jis vle netwaye po yo, gen moun ki jis panse ke yo pat dwe fet nwa e ke po yo te dwe blan, kidonk yo fe tout sa yo kapab pou yon chanje koulè po yo.

Moun douko tou paske nan sosyete yap viv la, plis ou gen po ki blanch, oswa w grimel, se plis yo we w kom yon moun ki gen lajan, ki gen renome epi ki gen siksè. Anpil piblisite montre koman moun ak po klè ak cheve long se referans le yap pale de bote. Malerezman, ann Ayiti, anpil moun panse konsa tou.

Konsekans douko ka lakoz se tet chaje. Nou ka site kansè po, sik, fwa ki domaje, movèzodè, po ki brile, yon pil plim ki leve nan figi moun nan tankou yon gason oswa yon bèt, po yo vin mens, asm, katarak, yo ka fe timoun ki kokobe, gwo pwoblem ren, elatriye. San konte, moun ki ap douko a, toujou wont sa lap fe sa ki fe li soufri moralman tou.

ATANSYON

Netwaye po pa douko. Le po w manke ekla, gen pwodui w ka itilize ki netwaye po a san l pa chanje koule w

KEK BAGAY POU N KONNEN SOU DOUKO

Se pa sel ras nwa ki douko. Nan peyi Azi yo, medam ras jon yo pase pwodui pou yo vini blanch

Endistri ki fe pwodui pou moun douko rantre 10 milya dola omwen chak ane nan koze sa a.

Si yon pwodui pa gen HYDROQUINONE, MERCURE oswa CORTISONE, li pap douko po moun nan.

Pou nou fini- se pa djob nou pou nou fe chwa pou moun. Menmjan nou pa di moun pou yo pa met pemanant, nou pa di moun pou yo pa douko! Chwa yo nan men yo! Men se job nou pou nou bay tout enfomasyon sou risk yon moun pran ak jan l sakrifye santel ak moral li leu l deside fe yon bagay konsa. Nou pap fose pesonn pa douko ni retounen natirel men nou la pou nou ankouraje sa ki bon, nou la pou nou pataje sa nou kwe ave nou.

Aprann renmen moun ou ye jan w ye a, aprann renmen w jan Bondye fe w la, aprann renmen sa ki fe w inik e w san parey la. Pa okipe moun ki di w ke po w oswa cheve w pa bon! Aprann renmen sak pou wou, aprann renmen tet ou. Sakrifye sante w pou cheche yon moun ou PAP JANM ye pa vo lapèn. Eske w pret pou w sakrifye lavi tibebe wap pote a? sakrifye diyite w ak bel ti po w genyen an pou w “SANTI W YON GRIMEL, YON BLAN” sa ke w pap JANM YE VRE. Ak cheve natirel, OU BEL. Ak ti po fen w nan, w BEL!

Ou bezwen netwaye figi w le w lave l ak yon savon oswa netwayan ki fèt pou sa (se pa savon santi bon ou benyen avèl la non) de a twa fwa pa jou chak jou. (Mwen m itilize netwayan pou figi Neutrogena. Sa pèmèt figi w pwop epi pare pou l resevwa sa w ap aplike sou li yo.

Ou bezwen eksfolye po w tou sa vle di retire tout ekse po ki mouri, pwodui ki te rete, elatriye. Mwen itilize eksfolyan Neutrogena a oswa avwan melanje ak myèl pou m fè sa de fwa pa semèn.

Ou ka fè pwop savon w oswa eksfolyan w pou pow. Nan yon lot diskisyon na ba w reset pouw fe savon natirel ou.

Dezyèm N nan NNP a se Nouri. Men koman li valab nan swen figi tou.

Lèw idrate figi w chak jou, li revitalize po a, li fè li byen dous, epi li nouril. Anvan w aplike makiyaj, li enpotan pou w fe sa. (Etandone po figim sèk m itilize krèm idratan Pond’s ki ble a. M konn itilize luil zanmann ak luil kokoye tou).

Le w fin eksfolye po a oswa retire makiyaj, itilize yon tonifyan pou ki kalme po a, li repare l epi li diminye iritasyon po a. (M itilize likid tonifyan Neutrogena a oswa dlo flè roz pou sa)

Toujou kenbe nan tèt w, ou ka fè tout pwodui pou w sevi ou menm lakay ou ak engredyan natirèl.

Dènye lèt nan NNP a se P ki se Pwoteje. Koman w ka pwoteje po w?

1- Fè mas ak labou, ak ajil, ak lot engredyan anko pou w nouri l epi pwoteje l kont anviwonman an (soley, dlo lanme, pousye, elatriye). M achte mas ki tou prepare oswa mwen fe pwop mas mwen.

2- Le w ap idratel, itilize yon pwodui pou ki pwoteje l de reyon soley la ( Depi m konnen map ekspoze nan soley san pran souf pou plis ke 15 minit, m konn aplike yon krèm ki gen faktè pwoteksyon SPF 45 osw aplis)

3- Le w demakiye ou pwoteje po w kont vyeyisman two bone, kont bakteri ak kont bouton paske figi w gen ekse pwodui ki rete ladan. M itilize demakiyan St Yves la, swa pa Neutrogena a oswa luil kokoye.

M sot pale nou de tout sa m fè kom swen pa deyo pou ki fe po m bel epi rete bel, men rete de bagay m poko di nou ki lakoz sa:

1- Gen sam manje
2- Gen jenetik

Sam manje:

Le w gad foto a w panse se chiko! LOL. Se kawot. Depi m piti m te toujou gen po ki sansib, kawot se te toujou youn nan pi bon zanmim. E se youn nan sekre pou ki pemet po m ret bel. Mwen manje 5 grenn kawot bebe chak jou (depi m pa bliye). Bonjan vitamin A ki gen ladann ede m kenbe bel po m.

Mpa neglije manje ki gen fè(sos pwa nwa, elatriye), ki gen vitamin E ak vitamin D. Gen bagay mwen pa renmen manje, m pran yo sou fom vitamin tankou m pa renmen pwason. Grasa vitamin ki gen luil pwason yo, kom kontinye byen nouri epi po m ret byen bel.

Yon lot bagay anko seke m pa neglije bwe dlo. Dlo netwaye kow, li baw yon ekla. Po w ap plise tankou hotdog ki te fri si w pa renmen bwe dlo! M bwe anpil dlo.

De lot bagay ke map travay sou yo ki pemet po rete bel tou se spo ak domi.

Jenetik

Si w we malgre efo w fe, po w pa egzakteman jan w ta swete l la, asime epi renmen po pa w la ak sa ki fel inik. Tout moun pa gen menm tip po. Jenetik jwe gwo wol nan sa. E nan ka pam, premye bagay ki fem gen po m genyen an se paske m gen menm po ak manmanm. E pesonn pa ka chanje jenetik.

Kelkeswa po w genyen an, pran swen l.

La Presse Française a un vrai problème avec les cheveux crépus.

ACCUEIL

Quand on découvre trois articles méprisants en moins d’un mois sur les cheveux crépus peut-on se dire sans paranoïa que la Presse Française a tellement intégrée le racisme lié aux afros, la négrophobie qu’elle ne s’en rend plus compte ? Je pense que Oui !

Tout commence avec les dessous de bras de Solange Knowles

Solange coiffé comme un dessous de bras, rien que ça

Ceux qui sont noires et abonnées ou adeptes du magazine Public (pas moi) ont eu la mauvaise surprise de découvrir qu’un afro laché serai donc une coiffure de dessous de bras.

Quand on voit comment il est difficile d’accepter le crépu en entreprise, et dans la vie de tous les jours, ce n’est pas une remarque anodine. L’article a provoqué un véritable tollé sur les réseaux sociaux, et la réponse du magazine Public a été… Une bonne couche de mépris, puisque les femmes noires ne…

PROTECTIVE STYLING FOR NATURAL HAIR 101

WHAT IS A PROTECTIVE STYLE

Is called a protective style by the natural hair community, any hairstyle where your hair ends are tucked away from any factor that could damage it (manipulation, environment) to retain length as your scalp hair grows

Some examples of protective styling are the cornrows, the roll and tuck, the bun, braids in general, etc.

WHAT PROTECTIVE STYLING IS NOT

Protective styling is different from low manipulation styling. Finger coils, for instance, are low manipulation but not protective. While there are some hairstyles who are both protective and low manipulation, low manipulation and protective styling are different.

IS YOUR PROTECTIVE STYLING REALLY WORKING?

Your hair cannot be breaking, tangling and falling if your hair was on PROTECTIVE styling. However, it happens to several women with natural hair after protective styling. Others do not handle their protective styles appropriately. In the following posts, we will consider some dos and donts of protective styling

FIRST – MOISTURE
Your hair always needs moisture whether in protective style or not. Make sure you protective style clean and moisturized hair and continue moisturizing your hair while protective styling. If not, your hair will be dry, which will cause breakage.

SECOND – SEAL THE MOISTURE

Put aside water, you need to use oils to lock the moisture in your hair. You cannot achieve any length retention without moisture retention.

THIRD- TIGHT HAIRSTYLES

Although some people like to set their hair very tight, it is not recommended for effective protective styling. Tension on the hair causes the scalp to be irritated and to fall. You can achieve beautiful styles WITHOUT tightening your hair.

Bun

FOURTH- LENGTH & MAINTENANCE OF THE STYLE

You surely do not protective style to grow a wild flora in your head. Therefore, make sure you regularly clean your hair and you keep your hair for 6-8 weeks to the maximum. Otherwise, your hair will be matted and tangled which will cause it to break. If you really want to protect your hair, keept it clean and don’t overkeep it.

KWAFI PWOTEKTRIS KI PWOFITE CHEVE W

Jodiya nou pral pale de penyen ki pwoteje cheve.

KISA KWAFI PWOTEKTRIS YE?

Nan kominote medam ak cheve natirèl, se yon penyen ki pwoteje cheve a pou l pa domaje. Pwent cheve w tache oswa pa deyo e nan kek ka, cheve pa w pa deyo tou. Medam yo fe penyen sa yo pou yo bay cheve yo repo, pou yo pa manipilel anpil, pou evite cheve yo domaje toutpandan rasin nan kontinye pouse, le konsa yap maksimize longè cheve yo.

Kèk egzanp penyen ki pwoteje cheve gen ladan ti kouri, chou ki gen bouda poul, chiyon, crochet braids, alonj, ti très ki tache ak tout lot penyen kote pwent cheve a ak ko a pwoteje.

KISA YON KWAFI PWOTEKTRIS PA YE?

Yon penyen ki pou pwoteje cheve w pa yon penyen ki fe w pa manipile cheve w. Se de bagay ki diferan. Se sak fe, yon moun ki penyen pwent peny fe yon penyen ki fel pa manipile cheve l anpil men li pa yon penyen ki pwoteje chevel. Gen kek penyen ki ni pwoteje cheve, ni fe w pa manipile cheve w anpil men kwafi pwotektris PA kwafi ki gen ti kras manipilasyon

ESKE STIL W FE POU KI PWOTEJE CHEVE W LA FE SA VRE

Penyen pou pwoteje cheve w ta dwe fe cheve w pi bel, pi ansante epi pouse pi vit. Epoutan, anpil moun ki fe stil sa yo we cheve yo pa pouse, genyen ki vin gen alopesi, cheve yo mare, tchake. Osnon, genyen ki telman fe yon seri move jes ak cheve yo ou mande tet yo eske vreman vre penyen yo fe a se pou yo pwoteje cheve yo? Nou pral pale de kek bagay nou ta dwe konsidere le nou di nou ap fe yon penyen pou pwoteje cheve nou

PREMYE BAGAY – IDRATASYON

Si w pa idrate cheve w anvan w fe kwafi pwotektris la, pandan ou kite l nan kwafi pwotektris la, penyen w nan pap pwoteje cheve w. Yap sèk epi pa etone cheve w pral tonbe. Fè swen pou w netwaye epi idrate chevew anvan w fè penyen an, pandan cheve w nan penyen an, pa neglije itilize ti vaporizatèw ak dlo ladan. Penyen an poukol pap al fe yon mirak pou kenbe cheve w bel epi ansante. Fok cheve w pa sispann manje pandan li nan penyen an.

DEZYEM BAGAY – SELE IDRATASYON AN

Nou tout konnen si nou annik flite dlo nan cheve nou, nan yon moman anko, l’ap retounen sèk. Depi l retounen sek, cheve a pral domaje donk li pap pwofite de repo w ba li a. Le w fin flite dlo nan cheve w, itilize yon luil pou w sele idratasyon an ladan yo. Cheve sek= cheve kase.

TWAZYEM BAGAY – PENYEN SERE

Anpil nan nou kwè nan penyen sere, gen kek ki di se sak montre yo djanm. Gen lot ki pa we tet li bel sil pa penyen sere. Penyen sere se bagay kap irite po tet ou, rache cheve w epi ki gendwa baw alopesi oswa lot pwoblem anko. Pa sere tet paw, pa sere tet lot moun, pa kite moun sere tet ou!

KATRIYEM BAGAY – KONBYEN TAN LI RETE/NETWAYAJ

Gen moun ki panse yon kwafi pwotektris se yon tatwaj! Apre 6-8 semèn, li LE pou w defèt penyen an, fè swen pou chevew, kite l pran yon ti lè ANVAN w rekomanse kwafi pwotektris. Gen lot ki bliye tet yo ki pa lave tet yo pandan yo ak penyen an. Nonselman cheve yo ap soufri le konsa, men figi w tou: paske tet ou sal, pral sou zorye kote figi w ye epi ba w bouton! Le w resi retire penyen an, cheve w ap telman mare, wap retire yon bel pouf le w resi fin demele yo. Gen yon JAN pou w jere kwafi pwotekris.

Nou swete ti konsèy sa yo ap pèmèt w jere penyen pou w pwoteje cheve w yo pi byen.

NNP- Bezwen Esansyèl Tout Kalite Cheve Natirèl

Nou tout gen cheve nou natirèl men nou pa gen menm stil cheve, ni cheve nou pa gen menm istwa, bezwen menm kalite swen men gen twa bagay ke tout cheve nèt bezwen ke l te grenn, kel te siwo. Ekip Afro Alice la rezime sa tout cheve bezwen nan twa mo ki fome yon konsèp: N-N-P. Kisa NNP vle di? Ki fason pratik yon moun ka konsidere konsèp sa yon fason pou yo pran swen cheve yo byen pou li ka ansante, pouse epi byen bèl?

N-N-P rezime sa tout kalite cheve bezwen pou yo rete ansante, bèl epi pouse e li vle di Netwaye / Nouri / Pwoteje cheve w. Pou w rive fe sa, sa mande lanmou ak pasyans. Ann dekotike chak grenn lèt yo.

N-NETWAYE

Pou cheve w ansante, fok li netwaye. Netwaye cheve w gen ladan:

1- Sote pwent cheve w- yon fason pou pwent ki tchaktchak yo pa mare lot branch cheve w epi kase yo epi pou cheve w ka pi djanm

2- Eksfolye epi klarifye po tèt w- yon fason pou w retire tout salte, ekse pwodui ak selil ki mouri nan po tet la pou k la byen pran lè sitou le w fin fe yon penyen ki te bouche po tet ou oswa ki pat two pemet ou byen lavel

3- Lave cheve w- Pou w retire kras, swe, pousyè, lot salte ak ekse pwodui nan cheve w, fok w lave yo chak semèn ak chanpou oswa netwayan ou itilize ki apwopriye pou w fe sa.

Eske NETWAYE cheve se pa yon bagay tout moun dwe fe ke w gen cheve siwo, grenn? Ke cheve w long oswa kout? Ke cheve w ansante oswa bezwen amelyore?

Nou tout dako TOUT MOUN AK CHEVE NATIREL bezwen NETWAYE cheve yo.

Pa janm sispann netwaye chevew.

N- NOURI

Pou cheve w ansante, bel epi grandi fok li manje (oui fok ou nouri l). Nouri cheve gen de pati:

1- Nouri cheve w pa anndan
“Cortex” se dezyem kouch cheve w e li responsab pwopriyete ak briyans cheve w. Pi bon kote pou w komanse travay pou cheve w bel e byen fome se nan manjew paske anplis de jenetik se sa w manje jan w viv ki pemet cheve w gen bon pwopriyete epi soti nan po tet ou djanm. Depi cheve w fin kite po tet la, ou PA KA CHANJE PWOPRIYETE cheve w yo, kidonk. jan w manje, bwe, domi, fe spo, jere laviw gen enpak sou chevew. Pou cheve w bel fok ou konn sa w dwe manje ak sa w dwe retire nan alimantasyon w.

2- Nouri cheve w pa deyo
Cheve w bezwen idratasyon ak pwoteyin pou l rete djanm pa deyo.
Premye bagay cheve w bezwen pou l bel djanm se dlo. Cheve w menmjan ak yon plant, depi l pa jwenn dlo, li red, li sek, li pret pou kase. Se komsi cheve w boude paske w pa bal manje. Toujou idrate cheve w. Cheve w bezwen bonjan pwoteyin tou pou li rete djanm epi gen fos. Se balans de bagay sa yo kap fe w konseve longe cheve w omaksimom pandan tout faz devlopman cheve w la. Pou wkonn ki vale idratasyon ak pwoteyin cheve w bezwe, tès sou cheve mouye ak tes powozite ap ede w. PA NEGLIJE pran swen chevew. Yon ti benduil, yon ti dlo, yon ti masaj fè yon diferans! Fe efo a, ou pap regret

P- PWOTEJE

Cheve pase twa faz nan lavi l, pou w prezeve l plis nan faz devlopman an e pou w ka sere maksimom longè pandan tout sik lavi cheve w yo, fok w pwoteje yo. Cheve w bezwen de tip pwoteksyon:

1- Pwoteksyon kont yon seri bagay nan anviwonman an tankou reyon solèy yo, pousyè, fredi, imidite, sèl lanmè, dlo klowoks, dlo ki gen kalkè, dlo pisin. Menmjan w pase krèm pou ki bloke reyon solèy yo le w pral ekspoze lontan nan soley la, menmjan tou gen krem ak luil pou ki fe sa pou cheve w yo. Lanati, jaden w ak kizin ou gen bonjan solisyon pou ede w pwoteje bel ti cheve w yo.

2- Pwoteksyon kont bagay ou itilize pou w fe stil men ki ka koute w longè, bote ak sante cheve w. Chalè ki depase 155 degre Celsius nan fè, nan sechwa, elatriye domaje lyezon pwoteyin cheve nou yo e sa pa ka repare. Penyen sere oswa rale cheve yo jiskaske yo soti ak tout pye(bulbe en francais), kite cheve yo mare jiskaske w pa ka jwenn bout yo anko, domi ak yo tou lage epi san yon bonè oswa yon sak zorye ki fet pou sa, itilize pwodui ki plen engredyan ki pa bon pou sante cheve w(koulè ki pa apwopriye pou cheve yo pa egzanp), move abitid tankou toujou ap rale cheve (hand in hair syndrome ann angle) se selman kek nan bagay ki ka fe w fin redi fe cheve w yo vini epi se wou anko ki pa pwoteje yo ase ki fe yo pral tonbe. Bagay ki di lew fin pase yon lane, de lane ap pran swen chevew, yo bel, yo founi, yo klere epi yo ansante. Epi pou tet yon chalè fè ki twop, yo komanse tonbe!

Si w pa pwoteje chevew, netwaye ak nouri w te nouri yo a se te lave men siye atè.

Cheve ki long, ki ansante, ki klere epi bèl pa maji! Li don men li gen efo tou ladan e nou garanti w kelkeswa tip cheve w genyen an, kelkeswa moun ou ye, si w pratike N-N-P, cheve w yo ap grandi, yap bel epi yap long. Eseye epi wa bannou nouvel.

Ak cheve natirel, ou bel grasa ‪#‎NNP‬ sou baz lanmou ak pasyans.

Pour des tempes plus garnies…..

Un peu partout en Haiti, nous rencontrons des femmes revenues au naturel qui souffrent d’alopécie au niveau des tempes. Vu l’envergure du problème, nous allons partager avec vous les conseils de Sabrina Perkins, une Américaine promouvant les cheveux naturels aux Etats-Unis dans son article sur ce sujet.

Au menu d’aujourd’hui, les causes de l’alopécie au niveau des tempes, la liste des choses à faire et à éviter.

Les causes possibles d’alopécie au niveau des tempes
Les causes de l’alopécie peuvent être multiples par exemple la crème relaxante, les rajouts, le vieillissement. On peut aussi compter la grossesse, le post partum, les operations chirurgicales, la perte accélérée de poids, le stress, l’hérédité, les maladies chroniques telles la drépanocytose, les déficiences immunitaires, les maladies du cuir chevelu comme la teigne, les dermatites séborrhéiques, la malnutrition ou la mauvaise nutrition et les manipulations excessives du cheveu.

Les bons gestes pour traiter ou éviter l’alopécie aerata
– Masser le cuir chevelu pour augmenter la circulation sanguine. En effet, le sang nourrit les follicules pileux et leur apporte de l’oxygène, ce qui favorise leur pousse.
-Utiliser des huiles qui favorisent la pousse pour le massage du cuir chevelu. On peut citer: l’huile de palma christi, l’huile de romarin, l’huile de vitamine E, l’huile d’avocat, l’huile de coco, etc.
-Eviter l’application des produits cosmetiques sur la zone affectée
– Améliorer sa nutrition et ses apports en vitamines.
-Utiliser un tais d’oreiller en soie ou en satin pour éviter les frictions qui engendraient la casse et pour préserver l’hydratation dans les cheveux

Les gestes à éviter pour des tempes plus garnis
– Eviter les coiffures trop serrees
– Eviter les colles, adhesifs et bonnets pour perruques qui restreignent la respiration du cuir chevelu
– Eviter les bonnets en satin trop serrés causant une tension sur les tempes
– Eviter le brossage ou l’utilisation des gels au niveau des tempes. Laisser les tempes au repos pour favoriser la pousse des cheveux.

Preventing & Treating Thin Edges – The Causes, Dos & Donts

We decided to share Sabrina Perkins‘ tips in her article about avoiding and treating thin edges with you all because we’ve noticed how frequent it is for Haitian natural women to have thin edges.

We will go over the causes of thin edges, the dos and donts.

Here is a list of possible causes of thinning edges: perm, weave, aging, pregnancy, postpartum, surgery, hypothyroidism, permanent illness like iron deficiency, scalp conditions, improper food intake and excessive styling of hair.

The does to avoid and treat thin edges
– Massage the hair scalp to increase blood circulation as blood flow brings nutrients and oxygen to the scalp, which aid in growth.
-Oil massage the hair with growth oils like castor oil, rosemary oil, Vitamin E oil, Avocado oil, coconut oil, etc.
– Avoid the edges when applying makeup or skin care products
– Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase or with a satin or silk bonnet to retain moisture in your hair and avoid hair breakage

The donts for fuller edges
– Don’t wear tight hairstyles
– Don’t use glues, adhesives and wig caps (they prevent your scalp from breathing)
– Don’t use tight satin bonnets
– Don’t use brushes and edge control gels. Leave your edges alone.
