Is Your Weave Holding You Prisoner? Break Free with Book: How to Get the Healthy Back in Your Hair Posted on July 11, 2019August 29, 2023 By Dangerous Lee Author and hair care entrepreneur, Angela Brown, releases new book entitled “How to Get the Healthy Back in Your Hair” and a line of all-natural hair care products that resolve thinning and balding issues due to excessive weave and wig wearing. Wigs and Weaves Everywhere! Hair stylist turned entrepreneur Angela H. Brown, is the founder of D’Serv Professional Hair Care Products. But she is also an author and advocate that speaks out boldly about hair loss, and how to prevent it. She says that over 80 million women and men suffer from hair loss in the United States. Why Are Women Losing Hair? Angela started out with humble beginnings as a licensed cosmetologist in Memphis, Tennessee. She has been in the beauty industry for over 38 years, and her love for growing hair never left her. After writing her first book, It’s Mo Better the Second Time Around, the light bulb went off and she began writing again. This time she put the pencil to the legal pad and researched why people are losing hair so fast. She learned that hair loss can come from many stress-related issues such as hereditary hair loss, male and female pattern baldness, and androgenetic alopecia. Hair loss can also be a result of side effects from medications, chemicals, applications, and weave or wigs. One main killer of hair loss is the application of weave or wigs. The Problem with Weaves Angela says that she wants hair stylists as well as their customers to understand that she isn’t against a good weave; But she is concerned about the application, and how long it’s being worn. In her book How to Get the Healthy Back in Your Hair, she has a chapter called “Be Weave It Or Not” that explains how a weave can cause long term damage if you apply it incorrectly. One main issue is that the glue will take your hair out permanently if you don’t get treatments regularly. Angela comments, “Back in the day, people would wear a weave or wig for fashion. Now it seems that they are prisoners to weaves. Some hair stylist/ barbers also play a role in brain washing their clients into thinking that hair loss is permanent. This is a big untruth.” Limit Your Weave/Wig Wearing Time In her book, she gives new hope whether you’re wearing a weave or not just by using professional quality products and not keeping your weave or wig on or in too long. She comments, “Weaves bring in big revenue for hair/barber stylists, so why would they educate you if they want to make lots of money? People are more concerned about how long their braids or weaves last than what their real hair will look like when it comes out.” Angela expresses how society plays a role as well; “People want to look just like celebrity influencers. They are spending thousands on weaves while their real hair gets abandoned. The Chinese market produces so many different ways to do it fast while your hair is coming out faster!” She adds, “I was in a beauty supply store owned by Asians. I asked the owner to make a recommendation to an older lady for a high quality product. The owner replied, ‘I donÂ’t care about growing hair; it is all about the money.’ This made me realize that I needed to rekindle my book, and educate everyone on tips on keeping their hair healthy!” The Good Hair News How to Get the Healthy Back in Your Hair gives tips on stress issues related to your hair, and how you can regrow your hair all over again. Angela also has a beautiful salon in Collierville, Tennessee in the Memphis area called D’Serv Healthy Hair Salon, where there is an open salon and a private suite for hair consultations.
