Number 4 High Performance Hair Care weaves a magical spell


A sample of  Number 4 High Performance Hair Care,was the last thing left in my gift bag from the PETA fundraiser I was privileged to attend and meet my hero Ingrid Newkirk. So far, I’d eaten exotic snacks from Mexico, tasted candy full of B vitamins for extra energy and tried on some snazzy red nail polish all PETA approved. Right up my alley!

 Inside the plastic pack were four black and white bottles 4 inches high. Is it a coincidence that in numerology the number 4 represents earth and mankind? I think not. This company takes our health and environmental footprint seriously.  What I was soon to find out that these curious bottles contained magical ingredients!



I quickly realized it was my responsibility to create a  potion using no animal DNA that was Cruelty Free Sulfate Free, Paraben Free, Gluten Free, Ani-aging and Vegan. It’s amazing there’s anything left!

Bam!

This is a story about a poor girl with thinning hair who created a magical potion to turn on the light in her heart, turn on the world and most importantly turn on her husband artist Peter G Pereira while saving hundreds of sharks and bunnies. And if you secure the enchanted ingredients to make this spell it can happen for you too!

I kid you not.  Below is a pic of my hair after using Number 4 High Performance Hair Care hair care products. (no photoshop used but I did smooth out some of my wrinkles.)



But wait! Pow!💋➡️

Before my spell was spun my hair was correctly growing out of the top of my head. That’s about it. Clearly I was ready to take the next step.

examined the potions closely.




Potion 1 Clarifying Shampoo

Potion 2 Reconstructing Masque

Potion 3 Super Comb Prep and Protect

Potion 4 Reconstructing Masque

The last thing I needed was a fancy shampoo claiming to give me luxurious hair, confidence and a new lease on life. Little did I know that the urban myths were true, and I was about to embark on a journey by mixing an enchanted potion for my hair which would lead me to my prince charming. But unbeknownst to me I had no idea that my Prince was also mixing a spellbinding potion to find me!

During my 40 years I’ve worked my way up from 99 cent bottles of VO5 to the middle class in the $10.00 range and with no results I convinced myself to pay $50.00 for shampoo and conditioner that  turned out to be just as good as my VO5. Another shampoo? Yawn. But I figured I owed it to PETA to at least check them out.

The spell ingredients for my magic potion were complete. But would it work? A storm was brewing outside my kitchen window and I saw a flash of lightening but didn’t hear the thunder which I thought was odd! No question there was a trickle of the supernatural in the air- a hint of magic. I was all in.  The instructions were teeny tiny, but I managed to sort it all out. I stepped into my black and white checkered shower stall which by pure coincidence matched the colors on the bottle. Wham! Was this a sign I was on the right track?  

First, I shampooed which had a surprisingly rich lather and Poof! I wasn’t in my shower anymore getting a quick shampoo in I was at a very posh salon which I could barely afford. Inspirited by the clean salon smell I took time to rub my head vigorously like I saw my hairdresser do. For the first time I was in no rush to wash my hair. I washed it twice!

Then I tried the masque which is a very thick beige magic potion that I rubbed in my hands and through my long thin hair. I took care of body business and let it sit four 4 minutes and towel dried using my big blue beach towel with orange fish and yellow seahorses. I swim and the chlorine does a lot of damage, (it’s bleach after all) and it was also causing thinning on the top which was horrifying me. I don’t use a hair dryer or a curling iron. When you live in a beach town that stuff just doesn’t fly.  I dry a la mode and sometimes nude!

My hair was super tangled as usual, and I grabbed a comb ready to tear out the strands I so zealously guarded. Oww! But as instructed, the next magic Spell ingredient was the Super comb Prep and Protect spray. I gave me a little spritz and picked up the comb ready for a fight and Woosh! The comb went straight through like butter, no tugging no Dangs!  I kid you not.

The magic potion plan was moving forward smoothly and the spell was almost spun. I pulled my wet hair into a ponytail let it dry for the day and Bam! Touchdown! My hair was soft and sleek and silky, and my husband turned to me and said. “I have never seen your hair look so good,” which meant a lot because he had never said anything to me about my hair even after a plethora of salon visits and haircuts. How was is possible that the spell was working so well so soon?

 Then I saw a glint in his eye that I hadn’t seen for years. Was the spell I wove going to enchant other men to reach out to touch my locks or was he just jealous? Ummm.

 And so when I went to bed that night having taken out my scrunchy so that my hair would create a silken pillow perfect for sweet dreams, my husband snuck into the bathroom and spun a spell of his own with the shampoo the masque and a special ingredient for his curly hair, the magical and mystical and wonderful Sugar Texturizing spray.

When the sun rose that morning. I looked at him and he looked at me and it took quite a while to get out of bed. Hallelujah! The spell ingredients had woven together the ancient stories were true, great hair was a turn on!       

After our tryst we decided to get out and take pictures of our hair as poof the spell works and send them to their very cool representative Janae. I took one of my husband the artist, Peter G. Pereira because his curls had never looked so shiny and healthy. That’s our rescue dog Pepito!

P.S. Many of our cosmetics creams, suntan lotions, and shampoos contain something called Squalene rarely found on the ingredient list because it is something the companies do not want you to know about.  I learned this from seeing a shark sign on one of the bottles of this very special company, contacted their rep Janae and learned that Squalene is found in shark liver and millions of sharks are pulled out of the ocean sliced open, their livers cut out and their bodies thrown back in the sea. Number4 Hair is proud to have nothing to do with that and I’m proud of them!

Although Squalene can be synthetically made the majority of companies don’t and hide it from the consumer. And the only way to really tell is to take it to a lab.


 When you can learn something from a product that changes the way you look at the world instead of about a product it's a  rare thing.


Go!

Buy!


Try!

How do I get a literary agent?

 
Take the word agent out of your vocabulary. Nor your work or income is dependent on a person who calls themselves an agent. For too many years they have lived gloriously in the myth that they hold the lock and key to an artist's career.

They're only value is that they might be able to speak directly to a publisher but so can you. And your probably smart enough to read a contract. 

For too long writers have fallen into the agent trap. Let's flip the script. We hold the power and they are the little ants beating down our doors for crumbs.  Not vice versa.

Agent begone! Relics of the past, the writers bane.

The truth is, when you foolishly send your work to an agent an assistent reads it and if she finds your synopsis compelling enough will pass that on to her boss who will rolodex the writers she's worked with in the past and pitch your plotline. 

The agent submissions are a racket in a very profitable business that exists because only a myth that agents make writers. Submissions are merely a creative fishing expedition.
