Dear readers, Today, I want to share with you a magical hair remedy that can transform your locks and boost your confidence. We all dream of having luscious, shiny hair, but sometimes, daily stress, pollution, and improper hair care can take a toll on our precious tresses. Fear not, for this remedy might just be the solution you've been looking for! The key ingredient of this magical remedy is coconut oil. Known for its nourishing and moisturizing properties, coconut oil has been used for centuries in hair care routines. Start by warming the oil slightly and then gently massage it into your scalp. This will stimulate blood circulation, promoting hair growth and preventing hair loss.
They will offer a performative answer to the question: If this oppressive past had never existed how would Roma communities have evolved?
We have examples of witches such as Mihaela Mincă and her daughters Casandra, Anda and Ana, that use the power of the Internet to send spells and digitally undo curses for their clients overseas. To those who think that we are not able to use the new technologies or those who think that we are cut off from science, we inform them that we have always been the ones who invented the crafts that made our life easier.
This will stimulate blood circulation, promoting hair growth and preventing hair loss. Allow the oil to sit on your hair for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, for best results. After the desired time has elapsed, rinse your hair thoroughly with a gentle shampoo and conditioner.

ROMA FUTURISM MANIFESTO
by Mihaela Drăgan
This manifesto initially appeared in print issue 2 of CUTRA feminist magazine (november 2019) and on www.cutra.ro
The concept of Roma Futurism is developed by actress and playwright Mihaela Drăgan in 2018, during her residence at Para Site art center in Hong Kong. That is where she sets the tone for a new artistic movement - Roma Futurism. "Roma Futurism reclaims the figure of the Roma witch, so stereotyped in our collective imaginary, and witchcraft becomes our political response to the social inequalities and the injustices of the world we live in." (Mihaela Drăgan)

Roma Futurism (1) is an artistic movement that creates the interaction between Roma culture and technology and witchcraft. It combines science fiction elements, the history of Roma people, fantasy, Roma subjectivity (2) , magical realism, creative technology with magical practices and healing rituals.
Roma Futurism intends on reevaluating the history of the Roma from a perspective that incorporates the healing of pain and transgenerational suffering genetically transferred to the Roma by their ancestors, victims of slavery and the Holocaust.
Roma Futurism is radical practice that creates performative healing rituals with the purpose of reaching the next level, the level in which we are able to imagine a future where we stop the historical cycle of oppression against us.
Roma Futurism examines the unsureness of the future for Roma in a racist Europe — unsureness which contains the constant pressure of reminding ourselves of unknown and unrecognized history.
The oppressive past and the present that perpetuates racism define a big part of our Roma identity but now it is the time to talk about the ultra-technologic future and the place of the Roma in it.
We feel limited as artists by the pain of the past and the unfavorable present which puts pressure on us to make art about the discrimination against the Roma.
In time I have found that very few gadje (3) are willing to understand the message of anti racist art. Art is not activism, and who thinks art can save us from racism is either naive or an impostor.
In Roma Futurism the history of oppression reaches an apocalyptic moment and a new era settles in, defined by techno-witchcraft (4) , The Romacen (5) .
Roma Futurism foretells the Era of the Romacene where the Roma witches control technology and own the future of humanity.

To those who trap us in the ,,past century,, and see us as,,traditional,, or ,,primitive,, , we want to let them know that the future belongs to the Roma witches who have already started the war against racism and capitalism.
To those who think that we are not able to use the new technologies or those who think that we are cut off from science, we inform them that we have always been the ones who invented the crafts that made our life easier. We were blacksmiths, kettle makers and cobblers; we knew how to process gold and we called ourselves goldsmiths, we trained bears and we were bear leaders. We made spoons and pots that lasted for generations and no one quite knew how to make them like we did. But then IKEA and other big corporations came to make them, offering low quality imitations of our craft, stealing our craft and leaving our people jobless. This is the reason why witches will always despise capitalism.
We would have made a new Roma craft out of technology if the Gadjes hadn’t blocked our access, leaving us in precarity.
As we were the only ones who owned the secret to all crafts, in Roma Futurism it is only us who are able to use the technowitchcraft — the science through which we create advanced technology by the rules of witchcraft.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic — said Sir Arthur C. Clarke, scientist and science fiction writer— I have to cite him because if a Roma woman were to say the same thing, she wouldn’t be taken seriously. Our Roma witches whose magical practices are ridiculed and demonized and their work is dismissed are never taken into serious. But when white feminists identify themselves as witches from a position of privilege, making art about witchcraft, they do it without the voice of the real practitioners, putting them in an even more marginal position.
Roma futurism will not forget about the history of witch hunters and how the Church burned the witches alive. In Caliban and the Witch, Silvia Federici shows us how capitalism evolved from the oppression of the working class and the subjugation of women. The burnings of witches was intended to terrify women and make them accept a new patriarchal order in which their bodies, work, sexual and reproductive rights were now owned and controlled by the state and were therefore transformed into economic resources.
In Roma futurism, we are the witches born from the ashes of our burnt sisters.
The Roma witch represents a current figure in the Eastern Europe — a place where, even though there haven't been witch hunters, their demonization always existed.
We call on supernatural forces because this world has left us without any other protection. We are not afraid to use black magic, because it is the only shield we have in a society that encourages hatred against us. To those who criticise our "radical ways", which are nothing more than a common-sense response to the violence we live, we say you do not have the right to give us advice until you experience the same aggression we are subjected to!
The Roma witch represents a current figure in the Eastern Europe — a place where, even though there haven't been witch hunters, their demonization always existed.
The Roma witch is portrayed in a stereotypical way as a woman lacking an education, stuck in a past that is incompatible with a present dominated by science, someone who doesn’t know how to use technology and does not wish to understand technology.
The label "witch" is one of the main stigmatizing stereotypes of Roma women and it is Roma Futurisms mission to destigmatize Roma witches and vindicate their image.
Foto: Volker VornehmIn contrast to the stereotypical vision, Roma futurism vindicates the figure of the Roma woman and proposes a new perspective in which witches are the symbol of a progressive, ultra-technological future.
We have examples of witches such as Mihaela Mincă and her daughters Casandra, Anda and Ana, that use the power of the Internet to send spells and digitally undo curses for their clients overseas. At the same time, they are not afraid to take control of Europe's political problems and perform rituals and curses against politicians that threaten our future. They are the guardians and protectors of our future, and Roma Futurism recognizes their power and knowledge.
Roma Futurism salutes and admires witches capacity to incorporate their magical practices in a radical anticapitalist and feminist perspective, as they demonstrated at the „Roma Futurism: The Age of the Witch” conference, that I co-organized in Bucharest at CINETic - International Center for Research and Education in Innovative Creative Technologies.
As the Super robot is the symbol of the Afrofuturism and the A.I represents Sinofuturism, in Roma Futurism, the Techno witch or Cyber witch is the main figure.
Roma Futurism creates characters like the Cyber witches, who fight against Roma oppression and also hold the super power to transcend time and to intervene in the oppressive past of their own Roma community with the goal to change it. They are placed in specific moments in the past with the purpose of creating alternative histories.
They will offer a performative answer to the question: If this oppressive past had never existed how would Roma communities have evolved?
Roma Futurism begins in the village of Macondo, the setting of Garcia Marquez’s magical realism novel, One hundred years of solitude where we find the Roma character, Melquiades and his caravan, who brings new inventions and progress in the village.
Roma Futurism creates a sequel to the production of scientific knowledge held by Melquiades and the thousands of other nomadic caravans, picturing an utopic future in which a group of Roma women who are alchemists and witches control technology and have the power to go back in time to change certain historical events, like slavery and the Holocaust.
In Roma Futurism, the Roma caravan works like a time machine which transports the future inventions and ,,sells,, progress to the society. It accelerates globally but it is alert to the dangers of speed: ecological damages or the economic exploitation of large corporations, whose use of communication, transport and information processing technologies has accelerated the climate crisis on the planet.
In Roma futurism, technology blends with magic and is used by Cyber Witches in order to create an egalitarian and democratic world.
Techno witchcraft is a modern form of witchcraft that applies the use of technology. It is a term under the umbrella of different practices and beliefs in witchcraft regarding technology. It focuses on the magical side of technology, considering that ultra-advanced technology can be invented and developed using witchcraft and alchemy. It may include the belief that technological items are inhabited by spirits.
One of the beliefs constitutes that even the internet itself is a strong and independent spirit.
Technology is reflected in the use of modern devices in magic rituals or the replacement of technology with traditional magic instruments — the use of a phone camera to purify someone of evil or destroy one’s health by sending computer viruses.
As we were the only ones who owned the secret to all crafts, in Roma Futurism it is only us who are able to use the technowitchcraft — the science through which we create advanced technology by the rules of witchcraft.
You will be amazed at the transformation! But the magic doesn't stop there. Another secret ingredient that can work wonders for your hair is aloe vera. Known for its healing properties, aloe vera is a natural conditioner that can nourish your hair from root to tip. Simply extract the gel from an aloe vera leaf and mix it with the coconut oil. Apply this mixture to your hair, focusing on the ends. Leave it on for 30 minutes before rinsing it off. Your hair will feel soft, smooth, and rejuvenated. To further enhance the magic, consider adding a few drops of essential oils, such as lavender or rosemary, to the coconut oil and aloe vera mixture. These oils not only provide a pleasant fragrance but can also promote hair growth and improve scalp health. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to any hair care regimen. Try to incorporate this magical remedy into your weekly routine and watch your hair transform over time. And don't forget to take care of your hair from the inside out – a healthy diet and proper hydration are equally important for beautiful hair. So, dear readers, why not give this magical hair remedy a try? Your hair deserves some love and attention, and I have no doubt that this remedy will bring out its natural beauty. Go ahead, pamper yourself, and let the magic unfold! Yours sincerely, [Your Name].
Reviews for "Experience the magic of healthy, vibrant hair"
1. Sarah - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the magical hair remedy. I had heard so many great things about it and was excited to try it out. However, it did absolutely nothing for my hair. After using it for several weeks, my hair was still dry and frizzy. It felt like a complete waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone.
2. Michael - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the magical hair remedy, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. I followed the instructions carefully and used it regularly, but my hair did not see any noticeable improvement. If anything, it made my hair feel heavy and greasy. I was really hoping for a solution to my hair problems, but this product was not it.
3. Jennifer - 3 stars - The magical hair remedy did not work as well for me as it seemed to for others. While it did make my hair slightly softer and shinier, it did not provide the transformation I was hoping for. Additionally, the scent of the product was overpowering and lingered in my hair all day, which was very unpleasant. I will continue my search for a better hair remedy.
4. David - 2 stars - I found the magical hair remedy to be incredibly overpriced for the results it provided. It did make my hair slightly more manageable, but the effects were temporary and not worth the high price tag. I was hoping for long-lasting results and a noticeable improvement in the overall health of my hair, but unfortunately, this product did not deliver. I would not purchase it again.
5. Emily - 1 star - I had a terrible experience with the magical hair remedy. After using it only once, my scalp became itchy and irritated. I had to immediately wash it out and my hair looked and felt worse than before. I do not have particularly sensitive skin, so this reaction was unexpected and disappointing. I would caution others to test this product on a small patch of skin before using it all over their hair.
