  Hey lovelies.. So I’m back again to share with you how I take care of my own hair while I’m in my protective style which is the Marley/Kinky hair in long twists. I had talked about how having protective style (weaves, wigs, braids, twists with your hair or attachment) can help with seeing growth, retaining length and having good Health generally as long as you take care of you amazing hair whilst it’s in a protective style (you with me?

How To: Kinky/Marley Twists Using the Invisible root Method.

Hey Beaus I made a video on how to do or achieve the kinky twists using the invisible root method. Guys, before you style your hair make sure you have done your wash day routine which is  Shampoo/CoWash, Deep Condition, and using the L.O.C method (L – Liquid which can be water, Leave in conditioner or a water based moisturizer, O – being any of your favorite oils and C – Any styling creme or butter – shea butter or mango butter etc) to Moisturize and seal. Its better to start off any form of protective style on a clean and moisturized hair. You can check my previous post for more details and pictures of the Marley/Kinky twists In this video i already Moisturized my hair with my daily spritz and sealed with castor oil and shea butter. Watch how I got these amazing twists with Kinky/Marley hair. Enjoy.

Nicki Minaj’s Waist Lenght Natural Hair

I’m a huge huge fan of Nicki Minaj, her Rap style, lyrics, Outfit style, Body et al. We all know Nicki to wear a lot of lace wigs and always in fringe or really close to the forehead. (i used to think she had bad edeges that why the wigs were so close to her forehead). Over the past years Nicki has been teasing us with how long her hair is without exactly showing her face leaving us skeptical (is it hers? i’m sure there’s some extension in it), it was hard to believe..but well i’m like nawa o In 2012 she tweeted a picture with her hair stylist holding out her really long healthy hair without her face in the picture. She tweeted another picture in 2013 showing her straightened hair at waist length Yesterday, Nicki posted Pictures of her hair with her face in it and captioned it “No Perm, No Extensions” and she looks Fabmazing, her hair is so beautiful. Who would have thought Nicki Minaj is Naturalista with a healthy head …

Meet Up: Naturals in the city (NITC) Lagos

Hey Beauties, Have you guys heard about “naturals in the city” (NITC)? It’s an annual meet up for naturals to share and talk,like our own little seminar where they discuss hair products, regimen, care, styles etc, to make our natural hair journey easier. I heard its going to be about protective styles, expect to learn how to tuck your hair away and care for it while it is tucked away and when you do let it out. I have always been aware of this meeting since the last 3 or 4 NITC series, but I never make it because of contingencies. I’m most definitely going to try to make this one *God willing* It’s on the 30th of November and will be held at the Omenka Gallery in Ikoyi, Lagos. Save this on your calendar!! Can’t wait! It’s going to be fun! You should come through.. Lets talk Nappy hair care. Type #nappy in my comment box if I’m going to see you and your beautiful hair!

My Hair Regimen

Hey guys! So I’m here again, well not to bore you about My birthday WishList but to talk about my natural hair regimen. What I think has been working for me and how I spend my wash day. I have been natural for a year and one month now and my hair regimen has been changing in other to find what works for my hair. THE WASH DAY! I wash my hair once a week when my hair is out of protective styles and rocking it for a bit. First off I do a “Pre Poo/Hot Oil treatment”! What’s a Pre Poo/Hot oil treatment? Pre-Poo – This is basically Prepping your hair with an oil treatment before you shampoo, because shampoo rids our hair off our natural oils, makes it dry and flaky and this give added moisture and strength to the hair Hot Oil Treatment – Heating our favorite oils in order to open up the hair follicles allowing the oils to permeate and condition the hair. SHAMPOO i used to follow the curly …
