Natures Healing Oil

2013-05-21T13:19:00.004-07:00

From dry skin, oily skin to damaged hair, nature has provided natural remedies. Summer is lovely and fabulous but it soon takes its toll on your hair and skin as a woman of colour. From dry, ashy skin from lack of moisture to flaky dry scalp, your skin and hair is crying out for moisture. Watch your skin girls. Reward your skin and scalp with natures undefiled gifts.

From Argan oil, Cocoa butter, Carrot oil, olive oil and my favourite Shea butter, nature has given us natural ways of looking great for less. Our skin needs adequate moisture all seasons otherwise it becomes dry and ashy. Our hair needs moisturising even more at all seasons. No need to use harsh chemicals to get that damaged hair back to life, give it the kiss of life that is Shea butter. As a beautician and retailer of hair and beauty products, I have come to the realisation that nothing beats Shea butter for your skin and hair.

Lets look at the merits of this miracle oil know as Shea butter.
It contains a rich amount of unremovable fatty acid which makes it far superior to Cocoa butter. It rejuvenates and moisturises skin and hair. Provides all the essential vitamins needed to make skin feel smoother and healthier. Its therapeutic agents protects skin and hair from wind, cold, sun and other harsh elements. Most importantly, it fights effects of ageing and repairs damaged skin. Great treatment for dry skin, eczema and burns. Don't spend lots of money on creams with SPF, Shea butter is a great sunscreen due to its rich content of Vitamin E&E. Treats dark spots, skin discolorations, stretch marks, wrinkles and blemishes. A fabulous and rich hair conditioner too.

Look out for creams with Shea butter ladies to get that smooth baby like healthy looking skin and luscious hair.

What Is A Lace Wig?

2012-08-21T10:07:00.003-07:00

I have decided to answer some of the questions I get asked everyday by buyers of our products especially by men trying to get a surprised gifts for their female partners. A lot of terminologies are used today about hair that it becomes imperative to try to break it down. The first and most common question I get asked so frequently is What is a Lace Wig? I will answer this and indeed other questions.
"The idea of hair weaves and extensions first came about in the early days of ancient Egypt, where men and woman utilized extensions in their hair to portray a more elegant appearance. By the late 17th century, wigs in various shapes and sizes became a latest fashion trend. Hair weaves in particular, did not grow interest until the 1950s; even during that time celebrities had been the only ones using them. When the “long, disco-haired” era evolved there started to become a widespread of hair weave. Since that era, hair weave has only become more popular."

What is a Lace Wig?
A lace wig is designed and constructed to be the nearest to your natural hair. Hair is undetectable because they are designed with a gauze like lace material which blends into ones skin to give a natural appearance mimicking hair growth. It comes in synthetic fibres or human hair. The full lace wig is fixed using a tape or glue to secure wig whereas the lace front can be worn without having to use a glue or tape. This is also known as glue less lace wig. Hair is secured because of inner securing combs inside the wig and securing back straps . Lace wig is the choice of actors and actresses to portray their roles. Its become the favourite of superstars like Beyonce, Tyra Banks and others. Hair may be ironed or curled depending on the quality of hair. It may also be coloured. It comes in short or longer lengths and in different colours.

What is a Weave Or Hair Extension?
A hair weave is described in the dictionary "As a general term used to describe human or artificial hair used to alter ones natural hair appearance". Hair is sewn into already tracked or plaited head. It could also be applied onto the head using glue as bonding. It could also be clipped on with wig clips to extend hair length. The hair weave comes as synthetic fibre hair or human hair. The weave is favoured by stars like Jordan, Cheryl Cole, Naomi Campbell and others. When applied by a trained professional, its very difficult to detect especially when fitted with a lace closure.

What is a Weave or Lace Closure?
The lace closure is used with a weave to ensure a perfect closure after fitting. It also comes in synthetic fibre hair or human hair. A perfect closure when secured to the base of the head by attaching it around the perimeter of a weave, mimics natural hairline due to it gauze like base. Parting area blends into the rest of the hair extensions to create a natural look.

Make Your Lace Wig Last

2012-08-03T11:46:00.000-07:00

Its my humble opinion that the person who invented the wig and indeed the lace wig is a genius. Its so liberating being able to change your look as often as you wish without having to spend a fortune at the salon. Even when a woman has healthy luxurious hair, its still pertinent to have a few wigs in your closet for times you want to change your looks. And if your hair is damaged from the use of too much chemicals, the wig becomes a life saver. I love the idea of being able to change the colour of ones hair to go with the seasons without having to colour your natural hair.

A ladies hairstyle should reflect the different seasons, just like clothes come in different colours with different seasons, your hair should reflect the mood of the season. We have had a fairly good weather this Olympic season in the United Kingdom thankfully. Give your hair some attitude to reflect the mood of the season. A vibrant blonde colour is perfect for hot summer days. Be bold, step out of the dark and get some colours in your hair. The best and most effective way to do this is to invest in great quality lace wig or full wigs with different colours. Love colours 33 and 30 for summer. For the fainthearted, go for 4 or 1B/30. I also would recommend colours 99J or 350 for that fire reddish look. fabulous.

Visit www.fab4hairnbeauty.com for fabulous affordable wigs.

Now that you have invested in fabulous lace wig , how do you make it last long to get the most of it? Well, one way I recommend is to give your wig a break after each week of wearing it. If you find a style that suits you, get at least three wigs of the same style and change your wig after every week to prevent shedding and tangling. For instance, if you love your wig in colour 2, get a straight and a curly style in the same colour and alternate them. Wearing one wig for more than a week, reduces the life span of that wig. I also recommend not going to bed in your wig. That is why I prefer glue less lace wigs. Brush your wig everyday with a good wig brush, also give your wig the kiss of life each week
with a fabulous wig spray. Lastly, leave your wig when not in use on a wig stand.

If your natural hair is damaged, plait your hair whilst wearing a fabulous wig. Your hair is safely tucked away while looking fabulous. The lace wig guarantees an invisible hairline, invest in it. Love and take care of your wig, and it will love you back. Now you can relax that people are looking at you, not your hairline. fabulous.

Its all about you.

My Problem With 1&1 Internet

2012-06-03T05:50:00.000-07:00

Ever since our business was born nearly three years ago, our website had been hosted by 1&1 Internet. Didn't really know much about them except that a friend recommended them. Our business is solely online base hence we needed a competent and reliable host. The first issue was the price, each additional key component required for making it a professional website was added fee. Well, I didn't quite mind that except that the monthly bill varied from month to month. Again, we continued with them. It did not help that their technical support team based somewhere in the universe did not quite understand the technicalities of phone support. one of them thought I was referring to weight when I mentioned British pound which happens to be the currency we trade in.

The last straw for me and the reason for this blog, is that from the first of May 2012 till 2nd of June 2012, our website suddenly went off line. I panicked because our business is mainly online based. Rang and emailed their technical support team several times, no result. Eventually, one of them said they had a bug in the system and we should be back soon. It dragged on with no communication from 1&1 internet except for a bill sent despite not providing service. It was during this time that I spoke to a friend in panic and he advised that I googled I hate 1&1. There I found so many appalling stories by disappointed customers. I think that 1&1 has taken more than they can handle and are struggling to cope in the UK. I get very angry when I see their adverts on television, asking for more customers.

As I write this blog, 1&1 has still not rectified nor given me a viable reason why our website is still down despite us being up to date with our fees to them. I have had to cough out another hefty bill for another website as its impossible to move your website from them to another host. Once they have you, you are stuck.

Currently, our brand new website designed and hosted by competent and I think, very professional host, Ipage, is up and running. So far so good with Ipage. We are glad to be back. As a small business, 1&1 internet has caused us serious loss of revenue and customers by their incompetence. If not for Amazon Uk, we would not have a store to sell our fabulous products.

Please visit our fabulous new website. www.fab4hairnbeauty.com and get shopping. We are still in the process of uploading our products.

Happy Diamond Jubilee celebrations everyone. Long may Queen Elizabeth 11 reign.

Its all about you!!

My Problems Selling On Amazon UK

2012-02-03T08:08:00.000-08:00

Its been two years since our business Fab4hairnbeauty was born. Our business is mainly an on line retail shop for fabulous hair and beauty products mainly for women of colour and class. In our quest to get our fabulous products out there, we decided to register with giant on line market places like eBay and Amazon UK alongside having also our own website. Now, sales on our website is fair, but, in these harsh economic situation, one needs on line retail giants to help get your products seen by consumers. Selling on these giant on line retail shops has its ups and downs. First, it does not come cheap. A percentage of your sales is taken alongside paying a monthly fee. My problems with eBay is documented in one my older blogs.

We have had our shop on Amazon UK for close to two years. It is fair to say that our Amazon sales account for almost 70% of our sales. It is a fairly good place place to trade as customers have come to trust Amazon due to their good reputation. Its estimated that almost 80% of on line retail is done on its website. One of their great qualities is good seller support. Regular webinars are organised for traders to support and educate. I have found some of these webinars valuable as a seller too. However, its becoming frustrating to comprehend some of their policies.

One of the problems I have encountered on Amazon UK is their "Buy Box" policy. Buy box is where a seller wins the top position of a product advertised. Now, Amazon offers buyers different options of sellers to choose from, which is great. My question is how is the winner of the buy box determined? For instance, we have created a product on Amazon for the first time and did all the hard work of writing the product details and uploading images of this product and then all of a sudden another seller is awarded the buy box of this same product we created without due consideration for all the hard work put into creating this product on Amazon. When asked, Amazon has said that 'Buy Box eligibility is based on factors such as pricing, availability and sellers performance.'. Sometimes when as a seller, you get all this right, you are still not guaranteed to win the eligibility of a buy box.

There is also a lot of emphasis on sellers performance. Sometimes, it feels like you are under pressure as a seller to meet their criteria as a seller. Seller performance is largely determined by the all important 'Feedback". Feedback from buyers is great if it is fairly done. I have noticed however, that some buyers use this tool to intimidate and bully sellers. What happens when you have done all you can as a seller to fulfil your side of the bargain and a difficult buyer decides to leave a negative feedback? One advise is to contact the buyer to remove the feedback. What happens if they don't? In some cases, Amazon has removed feedback's that are deemed a violation of their policy, but a lot still needs to be done. The buyer needs protecting as well as the seller. Feedback's are invaluable if they are genuinely done. There are however, difficult customers who abuse the system and aim to defraud. Sellers should be protected from these minority.

All in all, its been a great experience.

Get It Right This Festive Season

2011-12-23T07:55:00.000-08:00

Its the season to be joyful and thankful. Its also a time to look glam and fabulous. With a lot of party invitations to keep up with, its hard to look ones best all the time . Looking great means getting it right with ones choice of outfit and of course your hair. They say a woman's crowning glory is her hair. So you have purchased the perfect outfit and a fabulous pair of shoes and handbag to go with it, what about the hair? Your hair can make all the difference. For the the woman of colour, and I suppose most women, the hair is the most important part of the outfit.

What are the options? For the lady who prefers the natural and short look, its best to perm or at least texturise to make it manageable and fabulous. I prefer texturising as its mild on the scalp and the hair.

For lovers of the weave, get it right by making sure that it looks natural and glam. Aim for an invisible closure. There is nothing as distracting as an obvious look of hair extensions. Cover it up with the perfect hair closure. Use a lace or weave closure for the perfect and natural result. You can also achieve the perfect glam look using wig clips to clip in the hair extensions. This works perfectly well if you already have long hair and just need to add a bit more for fullness or to achieve a longer length.

And then, there is the full wig or the lace front wig. The wig or lace front wig is perfect as it instantly gives that glamourous and instant help that you need for a great hair day. When purchasing a wig or lace front wig, choose the one with inner securing combs. This ensures that the wig is secured even during windy moments. Also choose the style that suits your face. The colour of the wig also matters. Most woman prefer the easy option, dark colours. Experiment with lighter colours. Try a mixture of light brown colours and light colours. I love colour 4 and 4/30 or 4/27. See our colour chart at www.fab4hairnbeauty.com for guidance.

For emergencies, use the very dependable ponytails or hair buns. It is the best and cheaper way to enhance your look in seconds. Its fab and its suitable for all occasions. I love ponytails and have it in different styles and lengths. Its a must have for giving your hair a helping hand when it matters. Its quick and easy to apply. Just click in with the securing inner combs which ensures a perfect fit. We love the ninja look ponytail.

Whatever style you choose ladies, aim to achieve an invisible hairline. You want people admiring not looking at your hairline. Get it right with your hair this festive season.

Happy Xmas everyone, and a happy fulfilling 2012.

Happy celebrations. Remember, its always all about you.

Image Is Everything

2011-12-03T13:17:00.000-08:00

Back home in the UK after a fabulous time in Dallas Texas. No doubt I came back with fabulous goodies for our customers. Have uploaded some of them on our website, more to come as soon as we take delivery of all of them. Watch this space guys. Its Christmas season and everyone is in a fabulous mood. Went into Guildford town centre today and it was filled with shoppers. Great news for the retail industry I must say.

Trying to catch up on the news while I was away. First was the strike action by the unions protesting the cuts in their in their pension and the furore that was generated by the comments made by Jeremy Clarkson a presenter on BBC television channel. Its a free country guys and he is entitled to his opinion no matter how insensitive some think he was. Anyway, he has apologised. Also read in the Mail newspapers an article by one of their writers, an Asian beauty editor about how black and Asian celebrities and superstars are lightened up and made to look paler in photo shots for magazines and posters. She posted pictures of black celebrities including Rebecca Ferguson, a mixed raced runner up of last years X Factor. It made me think why? Whats wrong with representing black and Asian women in their true glory? Black and Asian women are blessed with beautiful ageless skin. Like I have posted in my older blogs, the beauty and fashion industry need to do more to promote black beauty. Times in the past I have gone into big stores in the United Kingdom outside of London, only to be told they do not sell beauty products for darker skin. Shocking I think. Its my opinion that the fashion and beauty industry should be made to represent the different skin colours. This is however changing thank goodness. I was pleasantly surprised to see hair relaxers being sold in my local Boots store in Guildford, Surrey. Its my opinion that large supermarkets and department stores should be encouraged to cater for all skin colours just as they cater for all skin types. For some reasons, its easier to get beauty products for darker skin in the United States than in the United Kingdom. I actually discovered that some of these manufacturers do make products for black skin but for unknown reason we don't see them here. Some manufacturers like Estee Lauder and Clinique have always catered for darker skin. More need to follow. Women will buy good beauty products be they white or black. Image is everything to a fashion conscious woman whatever the skin colour.

This is why our fabulous shop was born. To offer good quality hair and beauty products tailor made for the black woman. You will love our 100% natural skin products, like our pure natural Shea butter. Fabulous. Visit www.fab4hairnbeauty.com.

Remember, its all about you.

From Dallas Tx With Love

2011-11-28T17:57:00.000-08:00

Still in Dallas Texas as I post this blog. Recovering from a manic weekend of Black Friday sales after an awesome thanksgiving. This is my favourite time of visiting the United States mainly because of it's celebratory atmosphere and of course the thanksgiving sales which kicks off with the manic Black Friday. I understand it is called Black Friday, because it is a time when struggling businesses previously in red get back to black due to unprecedented sales. Fabulous. Last Friday didn't disappoint as shoppers thronged the shops as early as midnight for bargains. Won't forget the story in the news of a woman shopper who sprayed fellow shoppers with pepper spray just to get ahead. Incredible stuff. In this dire economic times, bargains come in handy.

Did a bit of shopping myself. Great bargains in Macy's, Nordstrom and other great stores. Also met up with my fabulous supplier Jenny. We spent sometime discussing fabulous beauty products that will be hot on the list for any beauty conscious lady in the year 2012. No doubt I have great products for my fabulous customers. Will be uploading them ASAP onto our fabulous website and our online shops on Amazon UK and our facebook store. Keep looking up our fab store www.fab4hairnbeauty.com for regular updates. Jenny is also attending a Hair Show taking place in Las Vegas this week. Hair shows enable us to stay on top of things fashion wise.

With Christmas around the corner, start your shopping early by visiting our fabulous stores online for great bargains. Just to also add, we ship all over Europe and beyond. Also check out our fantastic feedbacks on our Amazon UK shop from satisfied customers.

It's all about you.

Cheap is Not Always Cheerful

2011-10-01T07:01:00.000-07:00

They say when you buy cheap, you buy twice. In this hard economic times, its advisable to go for bargains. Bargains are great, but not when quality is compromised.

How then can one remain fashionable, glamourous and fabulous in these tough economic times? I would suggest looking for bargains but still sticking to quality products. They say, when you buy cheap, you buy twice. I am not a believer in disposable fashion. Its more economic to buy good quality stuff because you can use and reuse them as often as you like and because fashion is rotational, it always comes in handy.

A fashionable woman would always splash out on fabulous items. I have discovered in my quest for good quality fashion for less, awesome shops. I am a lover of Brandalley UK. I also love TK Maxx. Other high end department stores, like House of Fraser is great when items are reduced. Love Next and this seasons collection of Marks & Spencers look fabulous too. Online shops, for me are the best for bargains. I have recently discovered Boohoo. Good stuff at affordable prices.

At fab4hairnbeauty, we remain committed to great quality hair and beauty products at affordable prices. All our products are tried and tested by us first before selling. For instance, our fabulous Makari beauty products, we bought directly from their major distributor in New York where I met the fabulous Leah, one of their major sales manager. Our lace front wigs are also branded. Fabulous wigs from trusted major makers of quality hair like Bobbi Boss, Model Model and Janet collections just to mention a few. Visit www.fab4hairnbeauty.com

It is possible to be fashionable even in these tough times, you just have to know where to shop. Don't compromise, look for bargains.

My Problem with selling on eBay UK.

2011-09-09T11:13:00.000-07:00

I have just returned from a business cum holiday trip to NYC and the garden state of New Jersey. Love New Jersey I must say. Came back with more fabulous products for our fab customers.

Being a sole trader is hard but exciting sometimes. I love the feeling of getting it right with my customers. Its an amazing feeling when you receive positive feedbacks from customers who genuinely love your products and services. Its even more rewarding when some of them take time off to write you an email saying thanks. It makes it all worthwhile. We do sometimes encounter some difficult customers but the good ones far outweighs the difficult ones.

This week after a lot of thinking, I have decided to close my shop on eBay UK. We still sell on Amazon UK and on our fabulous website, fab4hairnbeauty.com. We are also in the process of opening our facebook store. We decided to again close our eBay store because of the many difficulties with both customers and their seller support whom I discovered are based in the United States. From my experience, we were not supported as sellers while dealing with some difficult customers. A lot of support for buyers but not enough for sellers. To make matters worse, they introduced a payment hold method for no justifiable reasons. This payment hold, allows eBay to hold on to money paid to us through Pay pal by buyers on eBay for 21 days except a buyer leaves a positive feedback. Now, it is good practice to try as much as possible to get positive feedbacks from ones customers but I don't believe in hounding buyers for feedbacks. We discovered that despite sending out tracking informations which confirms that buyers have received their products, our payments were not released. As a small business we need our money as soon as possible to replenish stock. So after several unsuccessful emails to them to release our money as soon as payments are made we decided to close the shop. In these tough economic climate, you need all the help you can get and we weren't getting much help from them.

So, its business as usual on our website and our Amazon UK store. We will also be updating you on our new facebook store that is coming soon. Keep reading my blogs as I share my experience running an online business.www.fab4hairnbeauty.com

Getting Ready For Summer

2011-04-05T09:59:00.000-07:00

I love spring time. I love the in between, not too cold or too hot. I suppose having a gorgeous and beautiful styled trench coats does help too. Again, like most people, I love summer time. Everything is beautiful and fabulous in summer. People are happier and look fabulous. I suppose its so much easier to look more fabulous in Summer, not having to cover up so much. People look thinner and fab. This summer, its going to be bold beautiful bright colours. High fabulous wedges too. We have been stocking up also for summer time. Fabulous, chic and glamorous short styled lace front wigs both human and synthetic fibres. We also have chic span wraps for that fab look. Visit www.fab4hairnbeauty.com for more.

As the weather becomes warmer, of course we sweat more. I have been in search of a good aluminium free Deodorant that actually works. I am very particular about the deodorant that I use daily. I know there are fabulous ones with aluminium and Para bins in them, but I will rather be cautious and use a good deodorant free of harmful ingredients. Discovered quite a few products without aluminium in my search. Products like Roll on by One Planet, Sanex Natur Protect, Salt of the earth, Tisserand Refreshing Deodorant and many more. This aluminium free deodorants work, but I have discovered that you have to keep reapplying them for the best results. I have also discovered a great one made by Body Shop. Its called DeoDry aluminium free deodorant. It works perfectly fine. Fabulous.

Check out our website for great deals. Get yourself one of our span wraps for the days you don't feel like styling your hair but still want to look glam. Whatever your style, keep it chic and simple.

They say that no matter how hard you try to satisfy most of your customers, you will at some point have to deal with negative feedback's. I remember the first neutral feedback we received on our Amazon UK shop. It was very upsetting but we took it as positive and worked with it. The customer is "king" and always right. My opinion is that its best to remain professional at all times when responding to negative feedback's. Its upsetting and to some extent may affect your business, but let it spur you to greater heights. Learn from it and work with it. We do have awesome customers at fab4 hair n beauty and are appreciative of their patronage. Fab.

Lace Wig N Weave Essentials

2011-03-03T09:47:00.000-08:00

For lovers of lace wig like myself, caring for it is as essential as caring for your own hair especially if you have splashed out on 100% human hair. Not to say that caring for the mixed fibre and synthetic lace wigs and weave is not also important. There are a few accessories essential for comfortable and successful wig and weave wearing while also protecting your natural hair.

The first essential item for a comfortable wig wearing, is the all important 'wig cap'. Wig cap controls your natural hair while also protecting your hair. It also ensures a firm grip of your lace wig especially if you are wearing a glue less front lace wig. The brilliant thing about glue less lace wigs is that you don't have to shave off your front hair which some people do to enable the application of glue. For fabulous glue less lace wigs, visit http://www.fab4hairnbeauty.com/.

The second essential accessory that is definitely important for the life of your weave and lace wig is a wig brush. Your wig or weave should be treated like like your natural hair. Brush it daily with a proper wig brush. This ensures that they remain tangle free and fabulous. Check out our online shop for fabulous wig brushes.

Finally, for that glossy and shiny look, give your weave or lace wig the kiss of life weekly with a dose of hair spray. Not the the hair spray that leaves your hair oily and greasy but the one that adds a bit of shine while detangling it. We are loving the 'Hair Essence' wig and weave spray by Lord & Cliff. This product is coming soon to our shop. Its fabulous.

Well ladies who love the weave or wig, take care of it like you would do your normal hair and they would love you back.

Cosmetics Talk

2011-02-18T15:38:00.000-08:00

The Daily Mail newspapers, a UK newspaper reported yesterday a picture of superstar Beyonce spotting a paler skin which somehow suggests that she may have lightened her skin. Has she or hasn't she? To be honest with you, its Beyonces choice what she does with her skin. Why do we have to pass judgement? after all people sleep in sun beds all day trying to tan their skin. I think everyone deserves the right to whatever beauty treatment they choose as long as it is safe. Check out our website, http://www.fab4hairnbeauty.com/ for fabulous skin creams like the fabulous Black Opal dual phase fade cream amongst others. Fabulous.

As a woman, finding the right beauty treatment that works is very daunting. Its double the hard work for women of colour partly because some well known brands do not cater for black skin. In my quest for beauty treatment that actually works, I have discovered that Estee lauder has fabulous cosmetic range for black women, plus they offer exchange even if you have used the item. I particularly love their Double wear foundation. It doesn't turn ashy and it stays on all day. I also recommend Estee lauder Advanced Night Repair. Fabulous.

Clinique also makes fabulous cosmetics suitable for black skin. Their faciall wash is great for oily skin and their dramatically different moisturising lotion keeps skin soft and hydrated. Fabulous.

Women of colour have also trusted Elizabeth Ardens Visible Difference over the years to moisturize and hydrate. I have also found Body shop Body Butter very helpful expecially during winter months. Whats your favourite? Let us know by posting a comment on this blog.

Whatever your skin type, there are fabulous products out there. Will keep you posted.

Lace Wig Or Weave

2011-02-10T15:03:00.000-08:00

Ladies who wear wig or weave all want to achieve an invisible hairline whatever the style. Lace wig has become the choice of celebrities. Stars like Beyonce and Tyra Banks are great lovers of lace wig. It is also the choice of actors and actresses in creating their different characters. It is common knowledge that black women put in extra effort to get that fabulous hairstyle. The question is: Lace wig or Weave?

Lace wig is designed to be the closest to your natural hair, undetectable because they are designed with a gauze like lace material which blends into ones skin to give a natural appearance. Some of them can be attached using tape or glue but some can be worn without the application of glue. These are known as glue less lace front wig. It also comes in synthetic hair or human hair.

The weave however is the choice of some ladies because they argue that it promotes natural hair and save money. But, watch your hairline ladies. How natural is it? This problem can be solved however using a lace closure which ensures invisible hairline.

The lace wig guarantees full frontal closure while a weave may give you that only with a lace closure. Whatever your style be sure to chose the one that gives you the most natural look ever so that you can relax that people are watching you, not your hairstyle.

So Far So Good

2011-02-07T14:45:00.000-08:00

Its been almost a year since I started my online business selling fabulous hair and beauty products. Its not been easy but I find that it gets easier as days go by. Traffic to my website has improved, thanks to Google Adwords. Not cheap but it works. So, I am glad that my fabulous products are getting noticed. I have had few enquiries and made some sales. Great stuff.

My shop on Amazon Uk is doing so well and we do have great feedbcks from happy buyers. Its so rewarding and exciting knowing that all the hard work is slowly but surely paying off. Sadly, I have had to close my Ebay shop because, I think, its a place best suited for second hand products. We do however sell brand new fabulous products. Customers were a bit difficult to deal with. Not enough support for sellers, I think.

We have also started accepting all major credit and debit cards through Sage Pay on our website. We still have Pay pall. Our fab customers now have the choice.

Really excited about our new look website and our fabulous products. Check it out at http://www.fab4hairnbeauty.com/. Fabulous.

Banks Aren't Helping

2011-02-03T09:37:00.000-08:00

The small businesses are supposed to help out in these recession times. How are they supposed to pull their weight when the banks are not lending. Its indeed an uphill task trying to get some form of cash injection into ones business and when you do get an offer, the interest is sure to put one off.

I have been having problems with my laptop and needed to upgrade to Apple Mac Pro since my business is internet base. I needed a good quality laptop that makes it a lot easier. Tried purchasing a laptop at Apple online store via financing offered by Barclays bank, I was turned down despite having a very good credit history and all my accounts including business account being with Barclays. I then tried getting a loan through Lloyds bank to finance the purchase, same sad story. Turned down despite having a good history with them. You can't win. They say banks give you an umbrella when its sunny and then takes it the minute it starts raining.

Well, on good note, traffic has picked up on my website and we are selling fairly well on Amazon UK. Hopefully, this is going to be a great year.

Xmas Sales

2010-12-06T04:37:00.000-08:00

I have just returned from holidays. Had to delist my products for a short period because I was away. Tough being a sole trader sometimes. Hopefully, as times goes on, may be able to employ someone. For now its me, myself and I running my online business, http://www.fab4hairnbeauty.com/.
My products are selling fairly well on Amazon UK. They are indeed fabulous products plus black women have very limited options when it comes to beauty products over here. We are determined as a business to offer as much variety as we can.
Traffic on my website has also increased slightly. Thanks to free AdWords voucher from Google. I am hoping to advertise more as its the only guaranteed way of getting noticed. Its however very expensive.

Ready For Growth

2010-11-01T16:09:00.000-07:00

Attended a very informative seminar today entitled "Ready for Growth" . The seminar was organised by Barclays Bank to encourage and educate small businesses about growing their business. I almost discouraged myself from attending because I felt it may not be right for me. I was glad I attended because I feel fired up. It was also free to attend for their customers.

The seminar offered a very good opportunity to network. Had a chat with a budding enterprenure who had just started her business like me. She had so much information to give. It was great bouncing off ideas and rubbing minds. Information indeed is power. I am rearing to go further with my business.

Was really fired up by the inspirational stories of businesses which started off small but have grown tremendously. I was particularly inspired by the talk given by the CEO of Ella's Kitchen, Paul Lindley. Amazing story of determination.
I am fired up to keep going despite challenges.

Popular Products

2010-10-23T12:48:00.000-07:00

I do have a beautiful website but its so frustrating the number of hits it gets. I also know that I sell popular and fabulous products at great prices because of the sales I make through my Amazon Uk and Ebay website. Why am I not selling on my website? The products are even cheaper on my website. I suppose it takes a while for visitors to trust a website enough to patronise it.

I have decided to retune and redesign my website to make it more enticing. I am hoping that sales and vistors to the website gets going fast. Its so hard running a business, but I have to keep going. I have been invited to to a Barclays ready for growth seminar next month and I am looking forward to it. I can use all the help I can get at the moment.

Any advise on how to increase traffic to my website? Please reply to this blog.
