You can get relief from cradle cap, eczema and psoriasis

Dear readers,

We understand that there are few things quite as painful or worrisome to parents as watching your baby, toddlers and elder family members suffer from the effects of cradle cap. Cradle cap, if you don't know, is a flaky, burning, smelly scalp disorder that can be hard to control. It can look like eczema and psoriasis and your doctor can diagnose it for you.

(See pictures of Cradle Cap here: Google Images - Cradle Cap)

It's natural, it's safe and it's vegan and packed with gentle proteins that heal the scalp and relieve itching, flaking and the thick plaque build-up that can occur.

Beauty vs. Magnificent!

This week's trend has seemed to be discerning beauty from magnificence. It all started when someone in passing exclaimed that my hair is magnificent. I of course was thrilled and became curious about the depth of feeling that that word brought forth.

Magnificent: strikingly beautiful or impressive, impressive to the mind or spirit : sublime: exceptionally fine

Beauty: the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit : loveliness: a particularly graceful, ornamental, or excellent quality

Maybe it is just that beauty is used for so MANY things, or maybe it is because I just like the words of the definition better, but I go with the magnificent concept when thinking of what I and my products can do for your hair and scalp!

I have to admit, there are extra qualities of the hair and even of the scalp that one finds with Autograf and Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo. I even personally guarantee it.

Please call with your questions about the difference you would like to see with your hair and/or scalp! I would love to help resolve them.

coming Soon ... how to shampoo your hair properly.

Once Upon a Dream...

Not only do I offer a money back guarantee on my products, I offer tons of specific problem solutions for you, the curious!... especially if you have or know of someone with flaky scalp, fine, long &/or processed hair.

I refer you to my web site to see my hair... or call me and I will e-you pictures and give you lots of information specific to your very own hairs and follicles!

This is the end of the commercial... but just to see if you are listening, please call me for the free advice... 888-932-7252 (US only) and 206-938-8384 ... and if you are really intrigued, you may call my cell... 206-304-4944... There. Can I get more honest than this?

Well, back to the order desk, the phone is ringing!

Here's to Out with the old, in with the new... Dawn 888-932-7252

I sit in front of my computers wondering what will make a difference today... in my circle of influence. I enjoy that about my life and career... I have had so many opportunities to make a difference in others' lives.

Today I will look toward clients that have wandered in and out of my path. I will follow up. That is something with which I have always tried to be diligent. Now that reminds me of how even I get lazy about how I wash and condition my hair... ME!

As we are coming into the season of many events and Kodak moments, I want to remind you to jump back on the personal pride wagon (if you have slid off) and give your hair and skin a dose of TLC... that's right, even a follicle wants to shine and you know just how great your hair can look! Really towel dry the hair before conditioning and rinse in warm to cool water, not hot. AND... in case you need me and mine.... 888.932.7252... oh so many hours per day!!!

I feel like I am writing a Dear Dawn advice column! ...And perhaps I am... Perhaps I just am...

Another Midnight Ponder

Do you love your work and clients?  I do. So much so that periodically one will simply lurk in my mind!

Tonight I have a young woman on my mind that I met at several Biznik events. She is quite charming and beautiful except for one thing. Her hair has become "trashed" from the scalp specific shampoo and conditioner she is using!

As you may guess, she, like so many of my clients has a scalp issue. 'Don't know what, but it doesn't really matter... at least in Autograf Land it doesn't. So, as is my custom, I sent her a kit of Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Conditioning Shampoo and some proper conditioners with a finishing, controlling mist... and I e'd her a full set of Hairobics instructions to go with them. Yes, they are on the bottle, but who reads the bottle? Do you?

What I ponder, is whether she sill ever get the full benefit from the wonderful products I sent her.

Do you read your instructions? Do you get the maximum benefit from the products you invest in? I hope so. Because I ponder the issue. It keeps me up at night.

'Just a reminder... have a good night's sleep... And PLEASE... Send me your flaky friends!!!

The Power of Time

'Wondering where the time to take care of yourself went? That is clearly my question of the day!

So I signed up with a new kind of personal trainer who is teaching me to move my body from the joints out. I have to practice every day and I wondered how.

It turns out I can take advantage of mini moments in order to get it all in... and that is my tip for you today! As you are watching the minute minder on the computer, massage your scalp and/or the back of your neck where the "hair food" comes from.

If you are using Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Conditioning Shampoo, try applying it a few minutes early to "special' areas of your head or wherever you have a skin issue. By the time you are ready to hop into the shower or tub, the waiting period of 7 + minutes will be over and you can grab that shower on the fly.

I wish you well on your evdeavor and will keep you posted on mine!

Patience Makes the Hair Grow Longer...

...and it makes Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo work faster.

I am buried in research for the moment... hmm, it's been many moments, I'm afraid. So I have had to play the waiting game for my product development as well as other components in my life. It has completely taken over my mind, though so I have had to do something with HAIR!

My hair has been getting the most attention... for a change. Mostly I am watching the hair of people with psoriasis or eczema or dandruff. I love to watch hair grow... not moment by moment, mind you, but from a distance... in spare time.

I have a new friend and colleague, his name is Joe.... Hair Farmer Joe. You can meet him at http://thehairfarmer.com/. It really is a cool thing, so cool that I am supplying shampoo and conditioner for the project... and harvesting my friends' hair. Why not join us??? We are growing hair for Locks of Love. There are other organizations that do similar things, but we are helping out with our locks and our love, so might as well keep things simple.

Back to skin issues, do you know they can cause hair to slow down or fall out? Yup, they truly can and if the victim is using many if not most of the products on the "shelf" the scalp can scar and permanently stop hair development and growth.

Well, back to the shampoo samples all over my desk... I care as much about this product development as I have ever cared about anything. It is hard to change up a good thing and I have got really know this is better before it leaves my lab. So hopefully it will end up in your hands soon.

Stepping Up to the New World

... A gentler, kinder world. We at Autograf are busily sampling all sorts of potions and ingredients for our launch into the 21st century! I know it may seem a few years late, but until now, there has been no reason to "mess with success.”

Now, after years of searching, we have discovered several new possibilities for achieving the results offered by collagen protein, while stepping outside of the world of "things with a face." Granted, there is still nothing that compares with the effects of collagen in one small, sweet package, but we are not doing skin grafts or burn healing here so some of what is an attribute of collagen is wasted on the simple healing tasks that Autograf Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo has to deal with.
Yes, this is still Dawn, and I still tout the value of collagen, since it still is the best hair and skin fixer-upper, but since I can now get the same results without using bi-products from things that "have a face," I am all for it. I will continue to move forward toward the finest safety and efficacy my money can buy, and I will continue to ask you to "Send Me Your Flaky Friends

Take A Closer Look At Your Skin!!!

Have you looked in the mirror closely lately? Are you discouraged over flakes or waxiness on your body and scalp? Is it "about time" to have your beautiful hair bring attention to you and NOT your flaky shoulders?

Men and women alike have times of discouragement and THAT is what has kept me fascinated for years, no Decades ... of caring and searching. Now is the time for my answers to come your way. I guarantee that you can have some relief if not a cure. If you can trust just once more... just one more product, I'll share my secret.

You know the old saying; If you just read the directions, all will be well. My saying is slightly different. If you simply read the instructions nothing will change. You must Follow them!!! THAT is the secret. Simply reading them is not enough...You must follow them. There is no instant cure, but with constant exposure to the secret ingredient you can reduce the effects dramaticaly. With continual exposure to captan and collagen protein, you can heal. I have many clients who have nurtured themselve away from the need for me and Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo.

I hope this little story will tease you into a more dynamic future. Healing takes time. Give a little, and you can get alot. With Eyes to YOUR Future... d

Scratching MY Head for What You Want

A couple of days ago I went to a great educational marketing event put on by Dominic Canterbury. The point was to learn more about talking to you. It was a beautiful evening in a darling neighborhood haunt with way more people than expected, so some very interesting dynamics evolved. Because the place was crowded, we not only had the marketing presenter doing great things, but also had sub topic conversations filling in the gaps from when you couldn't hear the main conversations. Did I mention that we had a corner in a coffee bar/lounge? The music was also competing for our attention, so one had to be really dedicated to stay involved with the program! The great news was that the sub-text conversations added to the value of the entire program.

Now Back to YOU:

Autograf along with Dare To WEAR BLACK was fortunate enough to be one of the chosen businesses under discussion and even more fortunate were my a couple of "AHA" experiences. These were REAL "AHA" experiences, not simply "uh-huh" experiences.

I quickly learned that I was in the midst of people that not only cared about my business (as Indie business people do), but also cared deeply about my clients.

In fact, there was a young man with especially strong interest in our topic because he was a sufferer of psoriasis or eczema. He had finally found relief with an experimental program of pharmaceutical origin. This was great except it costs $18,000 a year to maintain the treatment. We are now going to give him some Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo in order to maintain and most likely get rid of the last traces of his discomfort.

This product (Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo) not only has controlled this kind of skin care case, but also has been guaranteed to work for decades.

After all of this, Please Stay Tuned for the continuing saga!

Send Me YOUR Flaky Friends!

Since I live in the world of Dare To WEAR BLACK, THE shampoo for all sorts of skin issues on people AND pets. I hear all sorts of stories and complaints ... and the stories are horrifying. There are more unhappy people (and pets) than one can imagine. AND people are always telling me that if my shampoo solves their problem, that they will get me TONS of new clients.

Well guess what! Once they get their owe problems under control, no one wants to talk about it any more! And THAT means no referrals for me and my amazing hair and skin care line. People PROMISE in flowery language to help me get the word out ... letters, referrals, etc ... and then forget as quickly as they resolve the problem that sent them my way.

SOOOO SAD! There are many people with angst and embarrassment over the unmentionable problems of eczema, psoriasis, dandruff and any sort of dry or crummy skin ... and I offer a real remedy for a very reasonable price.

I feel like the Maytag man. I'm very lonely. Can anybody hear me???

So this is my plea for the week. PLEASE send my your flaky friends I promise to be VERY kind to them ... and gently help them along a happier path.

With Eyes to the Future ... Dawn

Watching the time fly by...

It always amazes me that people ask me to work miracles on their head and figuratively in their lives yet don't have the time to do what it takes. Have you ever experienced this phenomenon?

Time is fleeting and we have so much to enjoy, yet the principles of time in this carbon based experience must be mastered in order to accomplish our bidding. We have many gifts in out personality and time is required in order to develop the complete picture.

The same element, time, is sometimes necessary for the miracles of healing of the scalp and hair. Since time is so precious, I recommend finding something you value to accompany you on your daily/weekly hair and scalp treatments with Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo by Autograf Specialty Haircare Solutions.

Do you want to read, write or listen to a book? Play music? Exercise or take a cat nap? Memorize a poem? All of these things are great things to do while you wait for the Autograf haircare products to work! You can also comb. The skin and scalp treatment for your condition does NOT take longer than any of the above activities and may even help to motivate you to do them!

Take a moment and make a list of the little items you can do for your life as you restructure/repair your hair and skin. I believe there is something for everyone in the world of Creativity. And Autograf is here to help promote you in your quest for the best!

Patients With Patience???

I talked at great length today with a young woman who has suffered for years from some unidentified scalp disorder. A scalp disorder that has cost her most of her once-luxurious locks. She has been to doctors of all sorts. She has struggled with medical complications from A to Z from top to toe. And she still has the same crummy, worsening condition year after year.

What on earth hasn't she tried? Until now, she had not tried Autograf's Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo®! I forgot to ask how she found me, but we got to chatting on my new client follow-up call and the story began.

At this hour, Maggi is sitting under heat with plastic over her head awaiting a dinger as if she had a beauty treatment on her head instead of a bactericidal, fungicidal, germicidal on her head ... she is sitting waiting for a food preservative to solve her long, torturous problem! And odds are, it will help if not control this condition.

I look forward to my visit with Maggi this week. We are keeping in touch until the horrible things that have attacked her scalp, her hair, even her immune system and her life are gone! The physicians of various sorts have not found resolution for this formerly full-headed, now-balding girl. Perhaps we can relieve her pain, itching and sores if not diagnose the disorder. I'm hoping and praying so! At the very least it WILL help her hair.

The Power of Waiting...

Since Autograf Haircare Solutions products work around 7 minute waiting periods I wonder what one can do in the 7 minutes waiting period for my Dare to WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo? Here is a little list to begin with and hopefully readers will write in with more wonderful ideas of what can be accomplished during the waiting period!

1. Say a Prayer
2. Paint a picture
3. Polish your nails
4. Make a sandwich
5. Eat a sandwich
6. Wash some dishes
7. Play with a dog
8. Pet a cat
9. Start a load of laundry
10. Exercise
11. Write a Thank-You note
12. Call your Mother

Who would ever want to break their day into 7 minute packages? I would, of course. I have heard every excuse around leaving the Autograf Dare to WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific shampoo or conditioner on for 7 minutes. And I know that I am the worst patient person in the world, so I encourage you to take 7 minues and make your own Wait List to keep yourself on track!

Does this waiting period with product on your hair or skin work with "other" products? Who knows. I do know it works with Dare to WEAR BLACK and other Autograf Haircare Solutions. And I guarantee it. If it doesn't work for you, I will give you your money back!...

Flaky Friends at Play!

Who would have thought that helping a friend test out a sail boat would end up in talking "Scalp" with yet another Flaky Friend! But chat we did, and whether it is Psoraiasid, Eczema or Dandruff, even the boating crowd needed Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo!

Not only did I help the "victim" and his family with the product, I was able to shed light on problems that were adding to the misery ... Laundry Soap! LAUNDRY SOAP? YUP, laundry supplies are a major cause of skin irritation that can turn into skin crusties, itchy fakes and sores. There are simple processes for laundry relief ... they are actually best practice even for people without sensitive skin.

WHAT can be simpler than dumping clothes and laundry supplies into a washing machine and pressing "GO"? This: Fill the tub, add the products and then wait until the tank is half full before adding the clothes! It works. I do it EVERY time and my skin is healthy... for now.

7 Minutes to Heaven...

if itching has been a way of life for you, as it has been for "Leslie," the seven minutes it takes her usual Dare to WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo treatment, IS 7 minutes to heaven! The heaven on earth that comfortable scalp and skin bring to psoriasis, eczema and dandruff sufferers like Leslie.

Leslie came challenging us to conquer her blotchy skin and especially her itch. Within 3 days she saw a difference in the blotches and immediate, if temporary itch relief. That told me that Leslie needed a super launch procedure to really take control of her problem skin. Some people, like Leslie, need more than the ususal 7 minute treatment that is our rule of thumb and primary instruction on the label.

Leslie began putting the "D2" on her scalp with a good massage for 30 minutes and within a week, all signs of her skin discomfort were gone! Hooray for Leslie, and hooray for her horse! Dare To WEAR BLACK Scalp Specific Shampoo worked for her pedigree horse, too! Seems he had a dermatitis on one shoulder. Now Leslie and her horse enjoy long treatments together when they have time, elsewise, Leslie uses the 7 minutes for maintenance for the busy days in her life.
