Transitioning Without The Big Chop: My Natural Hair Story

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa 8 January 2014

written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

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

Four Weeks In Twists

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa 16 July 2013

written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

Yey! My kinks managed to get to week four with twists in. Yes week four. I am so proud of myself. As I mentioned in the previous post just before this one, one of my frustrations with two strand twists is my hair’s inability to keep them on for at least a month. I also mentioned that I did my twists differently to try and address this problem area of our relationship.

Flat twists and Twists Combo

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa 9 July 2013

written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

I twisted my hair. Again. No matter how much I want to stay from mini twists, I just end up doing them hey. This is mainly because I have mastered how to do them myself so they are a cheap option. The other thing is, they are very easy and fast to undo and styling them every morning is not as time consuming as free hair. They are a very good protective, low manipulation style as well and although they frustrate me sometimes because my hair is unable to keep them looking smart for at least a month, it is my go to protective style. And, this time around, I did them a little different from the previous times to try and combat the problem areas of our relationship.

My Afro Is Out!

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa 5 June 2013

written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

Hey friends. My Afro is out and about. Enjoying the fresh air, though not sure about the cold Johannesburg mornings and the evening indoor heating. I removed the braids because they were so untidy just after two weeks having them. I am relieved to have them off and I kind of missed my hair as well. So I am happy to see my hair. Yey! I removed my braids on Monday night, and then wore my hair in a big bun the next day to work.

Twists As A Protective Style

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa 24 April 2013

written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

I have been wearing my hair in twists for just over three weeks now and I think it is time to remove them before those knots and ugly tangles really set in. I wash my hair once a week even when I have my hair twisted and three washes is sure recipe for matted hair and detangling is normally an uphill task to say the least. Let me confess, I am not yet decided on how I will protect my hair for winter. I may do the twists again but right now, I am quite tempted to cornrow my hair and just wrap my hair with a scarf on cold days. Not sure though if it suits my frame but I want to try that.

Simple Hair Style

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa 8 March 2013

written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

There are days when I just won’t be bothered about much hair handling especially if I have a lot of things to do on my schedule. Such a day was yesterday. I wore this hairstyle mainly because I was busy and it was a day before wash day so I thought of just putting my hair up into a bun. But there was a problem. Not a new problem though but something I was hoping had resolved. This problem is, my hair is not long enough to hold it all in a bun at the back of my head. And since I did not want a high bun, I had to make do with this “twist” to the bun and I mean it literally. Today I want to share with you how I went around doing this to come up with something with the length that I have. This style is also great as a protective style because the ends are tucked away and protected from the weather elements.
