Voneva Denham Interview with Haute Living Magazine!!

With the beginning of Season 4 already underway, it seems that the production BET’s hit series, “The Game”, has a new player with Voneva Denham as one of its hairstylist. Born in Southern California, Voneva knows what it is like to be surrounded by grand celebrities and even grander hair, making her name well known among notable members of Hollywood such as Janice Dickenson, having worked for her production of “The Janice Dickenson Model Making”, and for TLC, having worked for their 2009 Miss America commercial. But this celebrity stylist is not all about glamour and glitz, but she is also for giving back to the community with her organization, “Glam For Life”, an association that is determined to decrease the number of suicide attempts among young African American woman in the United States. “We are dedicated to creating suicide intervention” says an organization official. “And outreach services that include indentifying risk behavior patterns, hosting educational workshops, networking with mental health and social resources, and promoting community awareness and involvement on the rising trend of suicide”. With the current season of “The Game” under her belt, Voneva Denham surely needs to prepare for the massive attention and sudden limelight she will be receiving, not just for her amazing hair styles and glamour specialties, but also for her generous and benign nature, helping the young women of the nation, as well.

Transitioning to Natural Hair by VonevaGlam featuring couture hair accessories

Transitioning to natural hair seems to be all the rave on the salon scene these days. But with all the excitement there are many who are apprehensive and anxious about what they will do with their hair on a day to day basis. Well first of all, let me say this. Going natural does not mean you have to grow dreads or where and afro or braids. It simply means that you are no longer relaxing your hair. Which is most likely a good thing because many peoples hair remains so much healthier without it. Now there are some things that you should know about transitioning from relaxed hair to natural and it is strictly based on your hair type. Just as your relaxer regimen in based on each individual so is your natural hair care regimen and you should consult a professional to have a regimen customized for you. Never the less, here's some general insight and options for the transition, but the first thing you need to do is recognize that this is a change, a process, and you must be willing to give up the concept of perfection and embrace the beauty in the flaws. So as some mothers would say." Fix your face and come on!"....(its all for the greater good:)

 Now that you have made the decision to let the chemicals go, you must prepare yourself for your hair to possibly continue to shed and break. So if you  are not prepared to cut it all off at the new growth, you still have the following options: continue to get it shampooed, deep conditioned,and styled as usual until it is at a comfortable length that you are ready to cut all the relaxed hair, get braids, or consider wearing a weave that is sewn in.
Wearing braids or extensions is a great way to allow variation in styles while going through the process of transitioning. Alternating from different braids and weave styles really helps with the anxiety of not knowing what to do to your hair on a day to day basis. Full weaves are excellent in for transition because it allows all of your hair to be protected and maximum growth potential to be reached during the transition process. It also allows for you to continue to wear your original style in a weave while your natural hair is resting from chemicals and heat. However, regardless of your methods of transition there are key things that I recommend:

•  Shampoo and Condition your hair with a moisturizing and conditioning system 
• Get deep conditioning treatments on a regular basis
• Hot oil treatments are great if you are doing a transition with or without extensions. If you are transitioning with extensions get a hot oil treatment after your weave has been taken down ,before your hair is re braided for re application.
• Wrap your hair in a satin bonnet or sleep on satin sheets this helps your hair retain moisture and prevents breakage.
