So I did some mini twists again using Jamaican Mango & Lime Locking Gel which was part of the goodie bag at the 2014 Natural Hair Meet up held in Soweto Johannesburg.
I know it seems garlic has taken over everything around here. All I seem to talk about is garlic and garlic and some more garlic. Well because it is a wonderful vegetable and it really does work. I have used it on every wash day which is every week for the past 3 months and I can sure see some thickness and massive hair growth already. So why would I keep such good news to myself? Me being me, I want to shout about it on the roof top so that anyone who bothers to listen may know the wonders of garlic on hair growth. That aside, for it is not the purpose of this post. I just wanted to share with you this video on how I prepare my garlic and coconut oil scalp treatment and I also show you how I apply it to my hair. Don’t forget to subscribe and share the video with your friends if you find it useful
Many blessings to you and yours.
We had a fabulous time you guys this last weekend of the 22nd of February 2014. Yes I know, guilty as charged. I did not share with you guys on this blog that I was going to go to the very first Healthy Hair Indaba which was held here in Johannesburg. I should have hey? I however shared on Facebook and on Twitter. Anyway, I went and I really did enjoy myself. The things we discussed were so valuable. We went through quite a lot of stuff although there was not much time to go really deep on each topic. I tell you, there is never enough time when it comes to talking about hair. There were questions asked and the 5 organisers who were, Wissal, Carise, Aisha, Tendayi and Kavuli tried to answer most of them , with some help from the floor ofcourse. One can never know everything.
So, 3 years ago today, the 8th of January, I slapped that relaxer on my hair and I knew even then, it would be my last relaxer. I had read enough blogs on natural hair and I knew my mind was ready for it. I relaxed my hair again for this last time and even with straight hair, I told myself I was now on the road to natural hair. I could not even toy with the idea of cutting my hair for personal reasons so for me, a long transition was my only option. I was geared up for it. And now, three years later, I am so so glad I decided to grow my hair natural
Hey folks. I hope I find you well. Who thought of using clay as a cleanser? Is it not supposed to make anything it gets in contact with dirty? This seems not to be the case with bentonite clay. I finally tried bentonite clay and I am really impressed. Why I waited this long to try it out, I am not sure. Maybe it’s because I had a regimen that seemed to be working so trying out new stuff was not really top priority. But now, I am glad I took time to try it. It is amazing.
One thing I love about providing natural products for hair to you is the fact that it puts me in a space where I can meet some incredibly wonderful people who come to our small office time and again to collect their products. Although this is not always possible, on this Friday afternoon, can I call it being in the right place at the right time as I am not always available at the office for these opportunities. Mary came in on this day and may I say I was the least prepared for anything. I gave her what she was there for and we just started talking and talking. Just to mention, she has beautiful hair (am sure you can see that from the pictures already) and has a wealth of knowledge on natural hair. I mean could I resist? So I asked her if she could give me an interview and she agreed. But then we just went on and on talking about hair and the natural hair community in South Africa. I took her some pictures and since she had time on her hands, we sat in my lounge and the hair talk just went on. Immediately, a thought went through my head about recording our conversation because the information this girl has has is so valuable. She agreed and I took out my camera and from memory asked her a few questions that were articulately answered. What I loved most on Mary is her hair of course, her energy and passion for natural hair and the confidence she exhibits wearing it.Mary is a zoologist, teacher, a commercial model and part time presenter. Let me not go on and on about this. Watch the video and you too will agree with me.
Hey friends. A reader of this blog requested me to do a video on how I do my twists. I recorded this piece as an after thought while I was twisting my hair and so I have posted it for the time being. It is not comprehensive but it will give you an idea on how I actually twist my hair. A more comprehensive one coming soon. Any questions and/or requests? Put them in the comments section and I will do my best to reply to you.
Till then! Be blessed
As I promised, I will be doing videos time and again to show you how I do certain things like home treatments, hairstyles and other things concerning my hair and skin as well. I am not an expert on these areas but I have learnt quite a lot of things along my journey and I really want to share them with you. There are some things, techniques and practices that I feel you will grasp better once you watch me do them and thus the reason for these videos.
Below is a tutorial on how I mix my protein hair treatment. I have been using this treatment for almost three years now which means I started using it even on my relaxed hair with amazing results. I introduced it to a few friends who are also now hooked on it and the body and shine is just awesome. Hair also becomes stronger leading to less breakage. I also noticed less shedding using this treatment. I have posted a recipe for a protein treatment before but it did not have any avocado oil and this one has. Works the same and am sure you can add other oils of your choice as well.
Hey you all. When I was styling my hair for the birthday giveaway video last week, I recorded it so that I can show you how I did the style. This easy updo can be done on medium length to long hair. By medium length I mean hair that is no longer a TWA. They are a few variations to this twist and tuck updo which has become my go to style on old twist outs and I will try and do tutorials on them soon.
Stay well, thumbs up the video, subscribe for more videos and be blessed.
