Water and clean sunscreen are your two allies after a deep facial exfoliation or a peel of any kind.
Water in take is some thing we should always keep up, however, we must pay close attention to it after a deep facial exfoliation or a facial peel of any kind because internal hydration to the traumatized face is essential for a healthy and speedy recovery.
The major function of skin is to provide a barrier between you and the outside environment. Without this protective covering, your life on earth would be impossible. The outermost layer of the epidermis is made up of sheets of dead cells that serve as the major waterproof barrier to the environment. In addition, special cells called melanocytes inside the epidermis produce brown pigment which helps protect you from ultraviolet light. Because the facial area is traumatized, it is full of melanins, (pigments) which can be influence by the sun. A good and clean sunscreen will stop the sun from triggering over production that can lead to hyper-pigmentation and many other unwanted skin conditions
Why should we consider natural and organically formulated personal care products?
The overall goal is not to eliminate the use of chemical leaden personal care products, more, make consumers aware of the existent of those chemicals and their possible association to human health problems. We, at Btrue Organics, believe if the consumer is aware, he or she will make a conscious effort to purchase personal care products with reduced chemical toxins. Research has shown that we could be leaving our homes with 120 to 140 different chemicals on our bodies every morning.
The average cosmetic product is formulated with fillers and synthetic fragrances and several preservatives. These ingredients are added to give the product texture, slippage, feel and smell.
While some preservatives have their rightful place in protecting the product form bacterial growth, some companies overuse it and to make matters worse, add unnecessary fillers and synthetic fragrances in their formulations.
We also believe in educating our consumers. A few ways we do that are informing them to become label readers. We teach our customers how to understand the labels and what ingredients to look out for. We offer product information seminar classes at our location.
Natural and Organically formulated cosmetic products are formulated with preservatives that are only necessary to inhibit bacterial growth and yet skin friendly. They avoid fillers and synthetic fragrances that are known to cause most allergies. Most importantly the ingredients are bio-degradable.
Using Products of natural and organic origin also bring environmental awareness, which is something we all need.

Q. My hair is all natural 4a/b hair and I am skeptical about putting any straightener besides heat in my hair. What EXACTLY is the straightening ingredient in your product?
A. The ingredients in the Diva Smooth Kit perform the opposite than those found in a chemical relaxer. The ingredients in Diva Smooth strengthen your hair via the use of the deep penetrating capabilities of virgin coconut oil, honey and molasses. The high deposits of moisture and natural proteins provide a protective coating that prevents heat damage. (Link for more details on ingredients below).
There is no stripping of the hair cuticle because there are no chemical ingredients.
Diva Smooth gets your hair healthy and this provides a smoother hair cuticle base. With the application of a flat-iron..(THE ACTUAL STRAIGHTENING AGENT) you get lustrously smooth hair without the adverse effects of a chemical relaxer. You hair is alive, healthy and lustrously smooth.
For naturally curly hair, Diva Smooth provides a smooth foundation for customers who desire to wear curly hairstyles. The My Natural Curl Collection (launching Aug 2010) builds upon that foundation by enhancing and defining your natural curls.

Q. Hi. I want to apply Diva Smooth to my natural hair and then wear it in a curly wash and go style, Will this product be appropriate for this style choice? What steps would I take to style the hair for the curly look after applying the Diva Smooth?
A.Yes. You can wear your hair naturally curly with the Diva Smooth. The Steps are below:
How to Apply Diva Smooth
1. Part hair into thin sections
2. Using the applicator brush, apply Diva Smooth starting from roots to the ends, until whole head of hair is done
3. Place plastic cap on hair
4. For very coarse hair leave on for 45 minutes. For Medium to Fine Hair leave on for 35 minutes
5. Remove cap, Rinse, Shampoo and Condition.
6. Apply one full drop of Janelle Beauty Virgin Coconut Hair Serum to Hair. (Add more if needed)
7. Apply My Natural Curl Collection Products (Launching Aug 2010).
8. Style and go.

A. We recommend the CHI flat iron or Paul Mitchell.
Q. Hi. I am a Caucasian woman, can I use the Diva Smooth to get my hair smooth?
A.The Diva Smooth product works on all hair types. Your hair will need to be flat-ironed to be very straight, since the product does not chemically alter your hair. The product deposits a high level of moisture and nutrients and starts the process of hair repair.

Q. Have the Diva Smooth/Virgin Coconut Hair serum products been used on gray hair?
A.Yes the products work on gray hair. We have several customers who are completely gray.
Q. How does the product work in high humid areas like Texas and Florida and Atlanta?
A.The issue of humidity can be addressed with the use of the Virgin Coconut Oil Hair Serum before applying heat to the hair. This will usually keep the hair from frizzing and allow you to maintain smooth roots.
The Diva Smooth will help get your hair to optimum health, which in turn, help keep the scalp and hair moisturized. The double benefit of these 2 products goes a long way in sustaining manageability and supporting sleeker, smoother hair styles.
Q. How long do you have to leave the product in your hair to achieve the maximum straightness when initially applying it?
A. If you have coarse hair you leave it in for 45 minutes minimum. If you feel your hair needs more because of your specific texture, that’s fine. The product will not harm you if you leave it on longer – it is completely natural. Some customers report they leave it in overnight.
Q. How frequently should it be applied to hair?
A.It is recommended 4 weeks. But that is really determined by the state of your hair – damage, breakage etc…you can apply more frequently to aid in achieving healthy hair. Some customers apply it once a week.
Q. How long does it take (how many applications) before I will really see a significant difference in my hair?
A. Some customers have immediate results and are incredibly excited and some customers expected more from their first application. In the latter scenario, the second application gave them the results they expected.
However, we must stress that Diva Smooth is not for everyone. Some people prefer the ultra straight look of a relaxer right after they wash out the relaxer – and so they opt to use Diva Smooth, more as a deep conditioner and still keep applying chemical relaxers.
Q. Will this product make my hair look like an afro-centric “natural” state but allow for increased manageability; OR will it make the natural hair look pressed or chemically treated?
A. We can honestly say both. The first option (manageability) is a given. The second look can be achieved by using a flat iron after applying Diva Smooth.
Q. Hi. I have a texturizer in my hair…but it’s so harsh to my hair. I don’t want my hair straight all the time. Will the Diva Smooth product itself make my hair straight?
A.The Diva Smooth product itself does not make your hair straight upon initial application. The Flat-Iron makes your hair straight. The Diva Smooth does NOT chemically alter your hair. So when you rinse your hair after applying the Diva Smooth your hair will look natural. You can then choose to style your hair according to it’s natural pattern OR you can opt to have straight hair by applying a flat-iron.
Q. What if my hair gets wet? Will it revert back? I exercise a lot.
A. The product is not a chemical relaxer so your hair is not chemically altered. Therefore, your natural hair pattern is the same as before just healthier and more manageable. This creates a smooth base for heat application, rendering your hair silky smooth.
When your hair gets wet, you will need to reapply heat. However, that silky smooth look will be back. It will revert back to silky smooth every time you apply heat up to 4 weeks.
