Hello there, lovely darling.
If your hair is not properly cared for, the winter season can cause hair breakage and damage. I have dreadlocks and use hair oils to moisturize my hair, especially the edges, during this time. The majority of the products I use are under £10 and can be found at Superdrug, Boots or order online from Amazon. They make a world of difference on my scalp, boosting hair growth and preventing split ends and breakage. They provide the necessary nutrients rather than just an oily mess.
Photos are under.

L’Oreal Elvive wonder water
Von Hair Oil

I do a lot of coloring to my hair as well , see a post showing the different hair colors I have had here. Do you care for your hair specially in the winter? Are you team Wigs or protective style? Is it simple or challenging for you?

Till my next post, lots of love

Hey beauties, I’ve had my hair locked for over ten years and I’m so happy that I did because it suits my personal style. I couldn’t maintain my hair up and wanted something simple and enjoyable. Is it possible that I’m bored? ‘Not just yet,’ . I’ve found my own way of reinventing my hairstyle by shortening it, curling it, and even dying it.
Dreadlocks can be spiced up and styled in a number of ways, and contrary to popular belief, maintenance is simple. I have a post on how I grew my edges too here.
Here are some major issues to be considered.
Is dying your dreads harmful?
Is it better to dye my locs wet or dry?
When should I get my locs dyed?
How do you dye locs without causing harm?
My advice is to find a licenced loctician in your area and just get started.

Red Head
Purple Head
Multi color Head
Green Head
Ginger Head

Best Dreadlock Hair Colors
There are numerous brands out there that display the best colour for dreadlocks. However, recognizing the components and the feedbacks is essential.
Here are some organic hair dye options if you’re searching for the safest hair dye for locs.                                                                                                        Herbatint hair colour permanent gel
Garnier’s nutrisse ultra color
Choose an expert to complete the task. This can help to protect your hair from serious harm. That’s everything there is to it. Which hue is your personal fave, and do you prefer dreadlocks?

Till my next post , Hugs and love

Hey beauties,

I am back with another product review, but this time around hair product called Jamaican Mango & Lime Lock Gro

I just realized my locs is over 7 years old and not I am still not bored!

Maintaining long locs is very difficult as it tends to get thinner and break over the years hence my reason to use less products and stick to simple routine .

When we have hot weather in Nigeria, I usually have very itchy scalp all I use is shea butter not until my mama gifted me this product and it worked . No more itchy scalp for me.

It claims to work for

Eliminate dry scalp

Prevent hair breakage.

Stimulate root growth

Strengthen locs

The direction says : Use to twist and turn locs daily . Please don’t do that it will cause build up on your locs. Instead    use it on your scalp and edges alone.

The minty smell and the tingling sensation when I apply on soothing.

 

The price is N2,390 on Jumai

Hey beauties,

Somebody wake me up please!!! I don’t want to believe that we are already in September, what happened? where did all the months go ? 🙂 The good thing is we  are going to be in my happy jollof rice month real soon 😉

So I finally got around changing my hair color, I decided to go less conventional route by trying out the red color.I am still trying to get used to it though, I get to many doubting if it truly is my hair, well, yeah! – all of it 🙂

Here’s a twist to the new found color though, my head started breaking off and was extremely dry. I had to quickly research and consult to find out why and what could help. It’s all plain easy and can work wonders for you too 😉

Check the video below to see how I was able to get my hair back to it’s original healthy state  :

I changed from blonde here in this picture.

Happy Sunday beauties????

Today, I reflect on my natural hair journey *locs* and 5 lessons I have learnt. I started almost 4 years ago,I am happy and have no regrets whatsoever ????????

13450979_10208863756725213_7856808224688733868_n

The hair journey thought me the following:
1. PATIENCE – I transitioned ( I allowed my hair go natural for months) I didnt have to start from low cut , the guy that started my locs was clueless and messed my hair istanbul escort bayan up. I found a loctician Emmystyle and the rest is history.

2. COMMITMENT -It takes time to loc and you must be committed

3. CONFIDENCE- ( Yes I am different and I love me)

4. FREEDOM -(No more fixing and relaxer )

5. STATEMENT OF HEALTH (I eat alot of vegetables and fruits and thus it shows on my skin and hair)

Would you consider growing Locs?

Till my next post,

Hugs and kisess,

Hello Ladies,

Today’s review is on a product I ordered a few weeks back called ‘The Mane Choice Growth Stimulating Edge control’

If you have natural hair or you love your hairline to look sleek then I would recommend you get this.It doesn’t damage / cut your hair but grows it.

As a Makeup Artist investing in this edge control is not a bad idea as it gives you that perfect sleek finish when you decide to push the gele back and allow the hairline to show a bit without messing up the gele too.

I wanted an edge control that wasn’t oily, waxy or greasy , wont cut my hair line, also grow my edges as I apply and keep my edges smooth and on fleck for a looooong time.

This product worked perfectly  for me ,see for yourself from pictures below…

0001-2132164180001-2132672640001-213225032

The product isn’t waxy and doesn’t leave a film / messy residue on to your hair.It has a fruity smell which I love. It isn’t hard to get on your brush.

How to use – Just Scoop a little with your brush and brush into the edges/ hairline.

It cost me N4500 and I got mine from Mane Choice Africa .

I definitely will repurchase

Kindly share what edge control you have used and what you love about your.

Till my next post,

Hugs and Kisses,

Hello guyz,

How y’all doing ? Pretty fine I hope . It just occurred to me as I was about to put up this post that this is actually another post related to hair , how that happened I really can’t say  – maybe we will just label it the Hair month 😉 .

Anyways , I was at a press briefing for Natures Gentle Touch Hair and Beauty Care in Nigeria last week. It was an awesome event that opened my eyes to certain things I didn’t know about hair, their brand and the different products and services they offer for natural hair and already permed hair.

That was all fun but you know my fun is never complete without a goodie bag and this was not just any kind of goodie bag – a customized goodie bag.I also got the highest hair freebie of the month, istanbul escort a free hair test and styling, those guys sure know how to entertain their guests :).

Excerpts from the Press Briefing

Natures Gentle Touch Redefines Hair and Beauty Care in Nigeria
….Provides range of solutions to Nigerian women’s hair challenges

Personal style brand, Natures Gentle Touch, manufactured by Recare Limited has reassured Nigerian women of its promise to deliver hair care solutions that will keep their hair healthy and beautiful.

Speaking during a media roundtable held recently at the Natures Gentle Touch Hair Institute, Production Manager, Recare Limited, Mr. Daniel Appiah, stated that the company’s product lines are made with natural based ingredients required to give a healthy and beautiful hair. He noted that every product under the brand was created bearing in mind the Nigerian climate condition as well as other öveçler escort factors that could affect the Nigerian woman’s hair.

“Our objective is to ensure that every Nigerian woman achieves her beauty goals. Having a hair that is one hundred percent healthy, beautiful and natural is a major part of these goals. mersin escort We have several products that currently seek to solve various hair challenges which include dry and itchy scalp, dandruff and hair breakage. Our products are tested and trusted by many Nigerian women,” said Appiah.

He added that the company will continue to introduce more products that will help every woman maintain her natural hair and help repair damaged hair.

Similarly, Field Education Manager, Recare Limited, Mr. Daniel Komlan while educating the press on ‘Nigerian Hair and Challenges’, noted that a major reason why most women have damaged hair is because they don’t know how to care for their hair and many hair stylists also do not have the technical skills required to care for the hair.

He added that in addition to providing solutions to women’s hair challenges, Natures Gentle Touch Hair Institute serves as a training centre for potential and experienced hair stylists.
