Book Description
Beautiful hair – every woman wants it but very few really understand how to achieve it. We color and curl it. We heat, gel, straighten and spray it. We fret and fume over it, spend pots of money on it and weep when we lose it. It's our crowning glory, a vital sign of health, youth and beauty. It's our hair, and we want it to look great.Thick, radiant hair is a symbol of beauty and femininity. Everyone knows that having a head full of healthy, sleek, beautiful hair is your ticket to making heads turn. Nothing complements a woman's appearance more than hair that is well taken care of and styled in the hottest fashion. For those of you who don't know it, losing your hair can be devastating for any woman and in many cases -- men. It can cost any normal healthy woman to suffer some type of mental anguish or depression. Excessive hair loss is a severe challenge to a woman's self-image and her standing in business and society. Women experiencing hair loss lose ground fast in today's world. At work and in her personal life, a woman's appearance has much to do with her financial and social success. The appearance of thinning hair translates to a significant loss of personal power for women. Although we usually think of balding as a man's problem, women actually make up forty percent of the people experiencing the distress of excessive hair loss. Most women who have one episode might have more episodes of hair loss. In most cases, hair loss is mild to moderate but can be permanent if not treated. In some instances, you do not need treatment if you are comfortable with your appearance. Most women notice their hair thinning in their 50s or 60s, but it can happen at any age, even during teenage years and for a variety of reasons. Doing too many of the wrong things can not only harm your hair and scalp and prevent it from looking its best, but it can also cause severe damage.According to the latest experts, 5 out of 10 women who constantly wear hair pieces, wigs, scarves, hats, etc. are suffering from “female pattern baldness.” Hair weaving, hairpieces, or a change in hairstyle may disguise hair loss and improve your appearance. This is often the least expensive and safest way to deal with female pattern baldness but eventually you need to get to the root of your hair loss, so that it doesn't happen again in your lifetime. The medical community in general treats women's hair loss as a minor health issue. Most physicians have little sympathy for women experiencing hair loss and fail to address the emotional distress that women feel. In many cases, physicians treat balding as if it were only a vanity issue. They may not recognize hair loss as a red flag pointing to a more serious medical condition.You need expert help to properly diagnose the cause of your hair loss. Hair loss that could have been merely temporary, may become permanent if you have a delayed or incorrect diagnosis. Misdiagnosis is perhaps the most frustrating aspect of hair loss for women. The psychological pain of hair loss and its effect on our sense of empowerment is as devastating as any disfiguring disease. If you are a balding woman, your hair loss is a life altering condition with profound consequences for your health. This book is the result of three years of conducting extensive research on how to grow healthy and beautiful hair. I am writing this book to educate, inform and empower all women who have dealt with hair loss at one time or another in their lives. I want you to know up front that there is help out there for you.This my story of my hair loss and how in the end I was able to grow my long, thick and gorgeous hair again. I am hoping that my mistakes can help other women, when it comes to taking care of their hair.This book will help you come out of the shadows into the light and take control of your own life and grow your hair back at any age. Good luck!

Book Description
There is life after fifty. In case you were wondering. And best-selling author and very funny lady Martha Bolton is here to wax hilarious on every part of it -- from the perils of exercise to the puzzling tradition of fruitcake, the annoyance of tailgaters to the miraculous powers of pie.

With chapters like, 'When One Door Closes, It's Usually on My Foot' and '12-Step Program for Buffet Addicts', she will have you laughing your socks off. She also writes touching pieces about the things she misses -- land lines, in-store coffee shops, hand-written letters, dressing up, her parents -- and the one thing that grounds her: her faith in God. Laugh along with Martha as she reminds you of what is truly important and turns the normal stuff of life -- after fifty -- into riotous fun.

Book Description
A photographic panorama of the creativity and variety of Black women's hairstyles In Crowns: My Hair, My Soul, My FreedomAmerican photographer Sandro Miller (born 1958) celebrates the social endurance, cultural heritage and self-expression of Black women through their hairstyles. In this series of portraits, each subject is posed in front of either a strikingly black or vibrant geometric background that serves to highlight the models' skin tones and accentuates their ultra-stylized hair, whether a halo of bright gold curls or crimson locks swept into an elegant bun. Each image is based on the relevant model's "hair story" and pays homage to her personal fashion sense, documenting the many unspoken ways in which Black women assert their autonomy through their physical appearance. In this project, Miller seeks to recognize and honor Black women's creativity and beauty while celebrating their social endurance and cultural memory at the same time.

Chloe and Her People
Author: Mitzi J. Smith
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725253275
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Chloe and Her People offers an Africana Womanist reading of First Corinthians that privileges the knowledge, experiences, histories, traditions, voices, and artifacts of Black women and the Black community that challenge or dissent from Paul’s rhetorical epistemic constructions. Smith reads First Corinthians dialogically from the perspective of oppressed and marginalized readers situated in front of the text and those muted within and behind the letter. Struggling toward unmitigated freedom, Chloe and Her People talks back to and throws shade on, sometimes poetically, Paul’s muting and subordination of women, rhetorically constructed binary knowledge, the glass ceiling placed on women’s heads, heterosexual marriage as a mechanism for managing lust, and androcentric patriarchal love built on women’s passive bodies.

Pages : 204
Book Description
In a world fraught with evil, encroaching darkness, violence, strife, confusion, attacks on families, failing finances, and health, distractions and emotional instability, man's usual reaction is that of despondency and negative proclamations. In the beginning, when God saw the darkness that covered the face of the earth, He decreed what He wanted to see rather than agree with what He saw. Since we are made in His image, rather than confessing the problem (darkness) we are to confess the solution (the Word) thereby transforming darkness to light. Believing and confessing are an important part of our Christian walk. What becomes manifest in our lives depends on our faith and confession God'fessions is the first of four compilations of inspired confessions of God's promises. This book will help you cultivate an awareness of your spiritual blessings and the limitless power of God as well as enable you grow stronger in your faith, as you establish the truth of God's word over you and your household through your declarations.
