| Question: |
What is Aromatherapy? |
| Answer: |
Aromatherapy is the application of essential oils
that are intended to promote the health and well being of an
individual. Although the essential oils, which are extracted
from plants, have very specific aromas which have been used
since the times of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans,
they also have other important properties including antibiotic,
antiviral, and antiseptic etc.
Essential oils can enter the body through the air via the
nose and bronchial passages (inhalation) or can be absorbed
through the skin directly into the bloodstream using massage
(absorption). Aromatherapy makes use of both inhalation and
absorption. The power of smell is a very powerful trigger
to the human nervous system. Some aromas, such as newly cut
grass, the sea breeze, have evocative smells so powerful that
simply reading the word can remind us of the aroma. An aroma
usually has an immediate effect, which is why smelling salts
can instantly revive. The nose contains tiny hair-like extensions
of the brain that detect scent. The brain very rapidly interprets
aromas that are inhaled. It has long been known that certain
smells or aromas have a sedative or soothing effect while
others have a stimulating effect. A qualified aroma therapist
uses essential oils to treat a surprising number of ailments.
For self-help, essential oils are most commonly used to relieve
aches and pains, for relaxation and stress reduction, and
for skin and hair care, but they also have much wider possibilities.
Caution should be exercised when using the oils to treat children,
and in pregnancy, and there are some people for whom aromatherapy
is not always suited.

| Question: |
How often should I shampoo my hair? |
| Answer: |
We recommend shampooing the hair whenever it becomes
necessary. Excessive build up of styling aids and natural oils
may promote more frequent shampooing. For some customers with
a busy workout schedule, that may be daily. For natural and
textured hair that is prone to dryness 2 to 3 times a week may
be sufficient. If your hair is relaxed, you will most likely
want to shampoo every 4 to 7 days with The Best Salon Professional
Moisturizing Shampoo™ followed by a The Best Salon Professional
Moisturizing Conditioner™. Continue styling with The Best
Shiner™ and The Best Spritz Gloss™.

| Question: |
My hair is dry and brittle. Should I oil my scalp
and hair? |
| Answer: |
Generally speaking nature has provided each with
natural secretions of oil designed to lubricate the scalp and
hair. However, textured, relaxed or color treated hair has a
tendency toward dryness. In pursuit of control, textured is
often relaxed or straightened with hand held blow dyers or styled
using hooded dryers, followed by other thermal styling implements.
The result is dry and brittle hair. The common resolve to this
problem is to moisturize the hair after shampooing with The
Best Salon Professional Moisturizing Conditioner™. We recommend
the use of Africare Hair and Body Oil™. Formulated with
rich essential penetrating oils this product can be used to
lubricate a tight and dry scalp while richly enhancing the hair
without an oily build up. The unique blend of oils is essential
to the health of the hair and scalp. Use Africare Hair and Body
Oil™ as needed.

| Question: |
How can I prevent that ugly soot from falling
into my beautiful candle? |
| Answer: |
Mushrooming of the wick caused by a carbon build

to a nub with scissors or clippers.
