Introduction to "Core Concepts" (new mission)

In my “teaser” post (here), I hint that I have an understanding on how to care for my hair. I am now focused on proper hair care. In the beginning, experimenting with hair styles and products (both commercial and homemade) was exciting but my primary interest is hair maintenance and preservation these days. As my hair focus has shifted, so has my objective for this blog. I’ve changed the subtitle description of BreaKINK New Ground from “My journey to appreciating my God-given hair and sharing the experience” to “Hair education, not just information!”.

While I still intend to share with you my personal, natural hair journey; I’m more insistent on sharing knowledge here. The key to unlocking a successful hair journey is education. My plans and goals are clear and I’m ready to get down to business.

I must put out this disclaimer: I am not an expert in the field of hair care. The information I share here should be used in addition to your own research. I am simply striving to equip you with accurate information but if you are looking for perfection, you’ve come to the WRONG place!

Since there is so much I want to share with you, I need to reveal the pieces layer by layer; starting at the foundation. I don’t have any hidden agendas or secret missions. When it’s applicable, I will state the source(s) of information I use. It is my hope that you will enjoy and benefit from my new approach. As always, your questions and comments are welcome!

Upcoming – Hair composition/structure. . .

Thanks for reading. Be blessed!

BONUS: "Dough for Dialogue" Giveaway

Here is the surprise that I said I had up my sleeve :-)

I had a wonderful idea to do a bonus giveaway. I get absolutely ecstatic when I receive and read everyone’s comments to my posts. It lets me know that people are interested in what I have to say; that my time and efforts aren’t in vain! I love to dialogue about hair and I’ve really met some wonderful ladies since starting this blog.

Well, I just want to let you know that it really means something to me when I get to converse with my readers and your comments truly make my day. I am giving a ten ($10) dollar gift card to 2 lucky subscribers. The winners can choose between Curlmart (geared toward hair products) or Luv Naturals (geared toward hair accessories).

*Disclaimer: all items haven been purchased with my own money. No company is sponsoring any giveaways*
