Self-defense devices, also known as self-defense products are less than lethal alternative to deadly force of a handgun. Their purpose is to provide the user time to get away from an assailant in a dangerous situation. Stun guns, pepper sprays and tasers are among the most common self-defense devices.

They have gained in popularity in the last decade or so because companies like Stun Master, Mace Brand and Taser International have done a very good job marketing their products making them especially appealing to women.

Most people don’t know this, but women are the targets of violence in nine out of ten cases. Everything from street crime to domestic violence to home invasions and carjackings women are the preferred targets of perverted assailants.

So what are women supposed to do? My advice is to get some self-defense devices. Learn how to use them, practice using them and carry them with you at all times. There are literally thousands of them out there. So how do you know which ones are the best?

Based on my five years of experience of being a major distributor for self-defense products here are some reviews for three of them.

1. The Mace pepper gun is the most effective self-defense device under $300.00. They use replaceable cartridges or canisters of OC spray-a full 10 percent concentration-enough for seven 25 foot shots. This makes is pepper gun perfect for self-defense against multiple attackers. Many of my customers find it is a perfect defense against a charging dog.

2. The pretender stun gun is one of the most powerful in the world at 4.5 million volts. It is disguised as a cell phone with a camera in it. A 3 to 5 second application to a bad guy makes him curl up in a ball because he has no energy left. The electrical charge depletes all the blood sugars in the body. It also causes him to become disoriented and lose balance.

3. The taser C2 model is perfect for women. It is small enough for them to carry in her hand, in her pocket or her purse. It shoots out two barbs that are electrified with 50,000 volts. It uses low voltage and high amperage. It has more stopping power than a 9 mm handgun and is nearly 100 percent effective.

These are the three best self defense tools for women. When are you getting one?

From the free-spirited sister with dreadlocks playing her guitar in sunny California, to the curly blonde haired girl in Florida, African American women are known for their plethora of diverse hairstyles. However, most women can agree that the key to having good hair is healthy hair. No matter how many times a woman changes her hairstyle; one thing that should remain constant is the hair product that goes into her hair.

Hair is such a significant role in expressing who women are along with the style itself as an accessory that compliments a woman’s particular look. Hair can signify many things such as youth, status, vitality, health and strength. For generations, women have been taught to take pride in their crowning glory. Century’s later; women have taken their identity back and left behind the oppression that came with conforming to society who defines beauty with good hair. Women have taken matters into their own hands by defining their own definition of good hair and proving to the world that beauty in hair comes in a bountiful variety.

Quality should always play a factor in a hair product. A great black hair care regimen includes the following: a high quality shampoo, conditioner, and natural daily moisturizer. Keep in mind that when trying to find high quality hair care products, always look for natural ingredients. Avoid cheap products for the simple fact that it may contain harmful ingredients. Examples would be petroleum and mineral oil which is phototoxic, and can prevent hair growth because it hinders the scalp from reaching oxygen. Another harmful ingredient to look out for in shampoos is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate that’s harmful to the environment and leaves the hair dry.

Women must find quality hair products that’s suitable for them, and is capable of meeting all the needs that are required to keep the hair healthy. For instance, when choosing a hair care product, women must make sure that the product replenishes moisture back into the hair. Dry hair has always been an issue with black women. The most common reason is that the tight curl pattern in black hair hinders natural oils from easily making their way down the shaft.

With expensive beauty salons prices and the hassle of finding the right beautician, many women would rather use natural remedies to do it themselves. However here is a recommendation to try that is inexpensive, caters to the needs of black hair, and still leaves you with the feeling of a beautician touch without ever having to go to one.
