This article highlights four products that are offered in the catalog to help make hair care more carefree for the Afro American woman. The products can be ordered through the Gold Medal Hair Company catalog.

Curl Saver Gel
This product is a gel that can be applied to shampooed hair to thicken and add body. It is also offered as an alternative to lightly straighten hair without the use of a straightening comb. Curl Saver Gel is a pink gel that in varying degrees straightens hair (depending upon hair type) after blow drying or sitting under a hood dryer after applying the Curl Saver Gel. For short hair, simply apply Curl Saver Gel to the hair, style and allow to air dry, blow dry or sit under a hood dryer. Curl Saver Gel doubles as a setting gel and does not flake or dry out hair. If you are not looking for the straight look achieved with a chemical relaxer, Curl Saver Gel can be used to lightly straighten and relax the curl pattern. If you so desire, you can use a low setting of a curling iron or hot comb to further straighten the hair beyond what is achieved using the Curl Saver Gel. The product contains conditioners that soften hair and has a pleasant fragrance. An 8 ounce jar sells for $5.99 in the Gold Medal hair catalog.

Herbal Tame Relaxer
Herbal Tame Relaxer can be applied to your hair to relax it naturally without the use of harsh chemicals. Its ingredients include proteins, herbal ingredients and conditioners. It can be purchased alone or as a part of a kit that includes shampoo, conditioner, herbal moisturizer and weather shield spray. An 8 ounce jar of Herbal Tame Relaxer costs $10.98. At a cost of nearly $52.00 you can purchase a double quantity of all of the Power Gro products which contains the Herbal Tame Relaxer. When using Herbal Tame Hair Relaxer, do not expect hair to become bone straight unless your hair is somewhat straight naturally.

Fabric Curlers
If you are one who cannot or will not sleep with your hair rolled in hard curlers then the fabric curlers may be just what you need. The fabric curlers are soft, comfortable and easy to use. The fabric curlers are elongated in shape with flexible wing like ends which fold over to secure the rolled hair. A bobby pin or hair setting clip can be used to fasten the ends more tightly. The fabric curlers can be quickly swished in a bowl of soapy water for cleaning and can be air dried or you can use a blow dryer for quick drying. After rolling hair in fabric curlers, sleeping on a satin pillow is useful to prevent hair breakage even when using other types of hair curlers. To avoid hair breakage, never use sponge curlers. A package of 12 fabric curlers sells at a reasonable cost of $9.95 in the Gold Medal Catalog.

Hot Iron Mist
Specifically designed for application to hair before styling with blow dryers, hair dryers, electric curlers and combs, Hot Iron Mist adds body and a light sheen to hair. The Hot Iron Mist has a pleasant fragrance and comes in an 8 ounce spray bottle and does not cause frizz.. It is an excellent product and is available through the Gold Medal Company's catalog for $8.98 for an 8 ounce spray bottle.
