This month The Dooby Shop
spotlights our wonderful staff
member—Audrey Tinsley
Affectionately known to her
friends, family and The Dooby
Shop staff as “Twix”, Audrey is a
senior at West Charlotte High
School where she is currently
enrolled in the Cosmetology pro-
gram. Upon graduation, she will
have earned enough hours to be
take the North Caroline State
Board exam to become a licensed
stylist. She started as an intern in
2012 and was placed with The
Dooby Shop through the Y-
Acheivers community support
program.
Originally from Detroit, MI, the 17
year old found her love for doing
hair when she would watch her
older sister do her. From seeing the
styles her sister created she also
started to try different hair styles.
As a stylist in training, Audrey says
that she loves that she has the
ability to make someone feel better
about themselves with a nice hair
style. She says that she doesn't
dislike anything about her profes-
sion of choice because it has al-
ways been her dream and says “I
don't think I can ever dislike some-
thing that I love doing”.
Q: Favorite style that she created
A: The first hairstyle that she did
was a quick weave for her sister
Q: Advice to aspiring stylists
A: Find a way to keep yourself
motivated and set yourself apart
from others. Make every style
picture perfect. Concentrate on
perfecting one skill before moving
to the next
Q: What celebrity would you like
to style
A: Rihanna because her style is so
unique and different
This 17 year old knows exactly
what she wants. Working in a
salon for a year has given her a
step in front of others her age and
has prepared her for the life of a
stylist.
After passing the state board her
goal will be to work towards own-
ing her own salon in California.

“Natural”:
These treatments don't have the tried-and-true chemi-cals you'll find in typical black hair relaxers, such as sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide, or chemicals you'll find in curling perms like ammonium thioglyco-late. Your hair is straightened with the active ingredient keratin, a protein very like one of the components of human hair. Keratin works to "naturally" straighten the hair. Fans of the treatment claim that it actually strengthens the hair since keratin is so similar to hair's natural protein.
Previously Processed Hair
Anyone who relaxes her hair knows that some coloring processes are especially harsh on top of already pro-cessed hair. You also can't apply a relaxer to previous-ly relaxed hair without worry ofoverprocessing. Howev-er, a keratin treatment works well on colored, highlight-ed or previously processed hair.
How Long it Lasts:
Unlike relaxers and curly perms, this treatment gradual-ly washes away. You'll notice your hair's natural curl return over time, anywhere from six weeks to a few months. To get the longest lasting results, use sham-poos that have a neutral pH.
You like your hair straight, but you're looking for
alternatives to pressing, ironing or relaxing to get
that glossy mane you want. Maybe you want to try
a keratin treatment, which has become increasingly
popular in recent years. Known by several different
names, including Brazilian Keratin Treatment (BKT
for short, an acronym you'll often see on various
hair forums) and Brazilian straightening treatment,
as well as various brand names, this is the newest
craze for getting silky straight hair. Is a BKT suitable
for black hair and if so, what can you expect?

It's officially fall! I can't believe how fast
the summer flew by. Now that the season
is changing, it's time for our hairstyling
routines to change, too. Here's a quick
snapshot of my full hair care routine for
the cooler weather.
1. An hour before I shower, I apply a deep
conditioner/yogurt treatment to my dry hair
and don a plastic cap. To generate heat,
sometimes I'll wear a beanie or my heat
cap without microwaving it. 2. Hop in the shower and rinse.
3. Thoroughly saturate hair with water and
divide into two sections (left and right).
4. Cleanse hair with co-wash or mild shampoo
one side at a time. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Generously apply a slippery conditioner,
usually Aussie Moist or Tresemme Naturals,
to both sides in a smooshing motion.
6. Pass my head back under the water stream
for a second, for better distribution and added
slip.
7. Add even more conditioner
8. Clip the hair up and out of the way to com-
plete shower rituals. 9. Take down the right side and section out the back piece near my neck. Pin up the rest. I finger detangle thoroughly and then, using the Denman, brush through once or twice for smoothing and curl clumpage. The Denman creates what looks like finger waves on my conditioner-laden curls. I continue this
step section by section. Sometimes, I cre-ate a hair sandwich where I'll use one hand to hold the brush and the other hand to smooth the hair as I pull the brush through. I end up with about 6-8 sections per side.
10. Once all the hair on each side has
been finger detangled and smoothed and
clumped with the Denman, I rinse the right
side. I hold the clumped curls in the palm
of my hand and stand under the shower
stream, allowing the water to gently rinse
away the conditioner. I do the same on
the left. I rinse out 100% of the condition-
er.
11. I eliminate excess water by smoothing
my hair between my flat hands using what

AFRICAN AMERICAN HAIR CARE
African American hair grows from the roots, and out of the opening. Slightest negligence on you part will make it diffi-cult for you to take care of your hair. It is also necessary to use the right hair product. The Afro-American hairs are basically made of keratin, a protein made up of amino acids. There is a need to nourish the inside and outside of hair. Points to be kept in mind :
Avoid combing your hair too much.
Do not braid your hair too tight as this leads to breaking of hair.
Use hair straighteners or hot combs.
Using hair straighteners may cause breakage of hair. Read the direction on the label to avoid such situation.
Oil your hair to moisturize them.
Add colorful beads when you braid your hair.
Get your hair trimmed after six weeks.
Shampoo your hair at least twice or thrice a week. After a rinse, do not for-get to moisturize your hair.
Wear a satin or silk scarf before going to sleep. This would prevent air from tangling, dryness or frizz.
Lawanda is located at The Dooby Shop
@ Sunset location. If you have concerns
about your hair stop by to see them for
a consultation so they can determine
the necessary treatments for your
healthy hair care.
Even definition
Thorough detangling
Decent drying time if you use a quick drying curl cream
Cons:
The Denman, (aka Shredder) and I have a long and
sordid history... a love/hate relationship, if you will. I'm pretty
sure it caused split ends in the past, but I was also using it
differently. I was using it to define my curls later in the styling
routine on hair that was just damp with a little leave-in on it. I
I call "the praying hands method." 12. Finally, I apply my cream styler of choice in a smooshing motion (not raking, as I don't want to disturb the curls I just created with the Denman) to the right side, then the left. I finger twirl any frizzy bits and smooth product down the length of any curls that didn't clump, using my fingers like a flat iron. I usually sit under the dryer for 15 minutes to get things going and air dry the rest of the way. Sometimes, I'll hit the roots with the blow dryer for extra hangage.
While I love this hair styling routine, I have to admit it does have
its pros and cons:
Pros :
Massive curl clumps — that Denman is a beast!
found that it had more drag and pulled more hair out, as well as
left my roots very puffy. I've also used it as my sole detangling
tool with disastrous results. Using it after finger detangling to
clump my curls in the shower, protected by a thick layer of condi-
tioner, may be the way to go. I'll pay attention to my ends and
keep y'all posted.
The Denman leaves me shrinkier, even when wet, so you know
what it is, lol. My hair dries much shorter than usual, which is actually
not a con for me because it exaggerates the shape of my cut.
Community Support: Million Youth March of Charlotte
Healthy Hair Tips by: Lawanda
(cont). Nikki Walton AKA @CurlyNikki
meet in a public forum to address issues that
teens and young adults are facing today. The
goal of the organization is more than just the
typical “stop the violence movement” but to
find alternatives for youths in lieu of the street
life that seems to be so appealing.
The next general meeting of MYMOC will be
Thursday, November 7 at 7pm. The meeting
will be held at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church
located at 517 Baldwin Avenue in the historic
Cherry Community.
The organization is asking for youth ages 13-
25 to come out to be involved in the planning
and take part in discussions. They are also
seeking agencies and organizations geared
towards youth to be involved.

There have been at least 40 murders in
Charlotte this year, but it was the murder of
Davion Funderburk back in July that
