New Providence, The Bahamas - Take a stroll along Bay Street, Nassau or in the Mall at Marathon
and take a good look at the hairlines of women. You will notice that
many of those hairlines are receding, thinned out, or non existent. You
will also notice that you can actually see them! There was a time when
all the wig-wearers wouldn't dare to touch the road without their
covering. But today, thousands of Bahamian women are really getting
into hair care. So those edges are airing out and getting lots of
sunshine and special hair care products to revitalize them and
re-introduce thick hair to those damaged areas.
For this reason, scores of Bahamian women in search of the best
products to strengthen and grow natural and processed hair turned up to
the Organic Root Stimulator (ORS) Hair Care Weekend recently. There were those seeking help with their processed
hair, others trying to gain length of their natural hair, and many
others with serious scalp conditions.
Many of them were introduced to the newest line from ORS, the Monoi
Oil line, which is excellent for anti-breakage issues. It joins the
original ORS Olive Oil products as well as its restorative and hair
repair lines.
The CDM group (Commonwealth Drugs & Medical Supplies) teamed up
with ORS (Organic Root Stimulator) to introduce Monoi oil to the
Bahamian market as the latest addition to the ORS brand.
The company officially launched the Monoil Oil line from ORS in the
stores in December. Two international hair experts from ORS flew in
for a series of visits to some of the main beauty supply chain stores in
New Providence. Andreen Bennett, ORS Caribbean Manager was also in
town to participate in the promotional events hosted by CDM beauty
division.

The hair care experts, Karl Richmond of Jamaica and reknown
American hair technician Chris Smith conducted sessions that allowed
them to test customers' hair with tricholoscopes, magnifying their scalp
and roots, and properly advising them on how to treat and protect it.
"Lots of ladies are using weave or are over processing their hair,"
Porter pointed out. "We want to assist them in getting the right
advice and utilizing the products that will give them the results they
are looking for."
For centuries, monoi oil has been utilized by natives of Polynesia
to achieve extremely strong yet silky and shiny hair. For decades,
monoi oil has been used by the elite who could afford a bottle of the
sacred oil. But today, ORS has made it possible for this precious oil
recipe to be shared with the everyday woman.
The beauty division of CDM offers many popular hair care and make
up lines for women including Black Opal Beauty; Avlon; ORS; Rubykiss
cosmetics; Afam concepts and Namaste laboratories.
"Lots of ladies are using weave or are over processing their hair,"
said Tabatha Porter of CDM Beauty Division. "We want to assist them in
getting the right advice and utilizing the products that will give them
the results they are looking for."
Most of the patrons expressed satisfaction in the clinical results
given by the technicians. Many of them expressed surprise at finding
out that they had various allergies after their hair analysis was
complete. Just by cutting out certain foods, they were advised, they
could increase their chances of longer, healthier hair.
