My Updated Regimen: 2015

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa
written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

It has been long since I updated you on my current regimen which has since changed from what I used to do back in 2014. As I learn my hair more and more and as my lifestyle changes, I tweak things as I go along so that my regimen suits my lifestyle and I do not end up neglecting my hair. I have quite a heavy schedule right now and while I like the MHM, my lifestyle does not allow for such because of time constraints. So I have come up with a routine that is kind to my hair while being done in the shortest possible time. Picking some things from the MHM and making it work for me though I minimise the gel styling as this gives me more single strand knots than I can manage.

25 Random Facts About Me – Tag

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa
written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

So I was tagged by Fanta of Aucurls Naturelle to do a 25 random facts about me sometime last year and trust me I recorded the video several times. Almost every time I would forget something and would have to do it again until I finally just had to post what I had actually said in the video. No one is going to give me marks for it so even if I leave tonnes of info, it’s okay. So here is the one that I think is most comprehensive and I hope it gives you a chance to know who Ruth Mafupa of Natural Sisters is. Don’t forget to thumbs up if you like the video and if you would like to get more videos from me direct to your inbox, why don’t you go ahead and subscribe. You know what, subscribing makes my effort worth while because I will do videos knowing you are waiting for them.

Faux Dread Lock: Mini African Threading

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa
written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

Hey lovelies. So I managed to do some sort of protective styling on my hair by trying out something I used to do a few years back. Only that, when I used to do African threading then, I did not keep the do on my head for longer than a week because I used to take much bigger sections. But this time around, I took much smaller sections hence I called it, “mini African threading”. Wanted the threading to look like mini twists but it ended up looking like a faux dread lock. No worries, I liked it like that. I did this early December 2014 though so this is a delayed post.

I recorded how I did the threading including how I added more length to my shorter hair around my hairline so make sure you check the video below for more information. Let me give you a background though and also mention the products I used.

Afro Botanics Conditioners Review

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa
written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

Hey loves. Loving 2015 already and my goal this month is to clear everything I did not manage to do last year so you will be seeing more posts more often for some time. This is stuff I need to share with you so I am going to work extra hard to make sure you get it all. Some of the things I need to do are reviews of the products I used in 2014. I am going to be doing a lot of those for some time and then stop completely until next year same time. I prefer doing reviews on a product I have actually used and seen the results and not from the first impressions only. So to start with, as the topic of this post states, I am reviewing Afro Botanics Conditioners.

Stretching My Hair With Chunky Twists

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa
written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

Hey folks. I noticed I had never done a video on how I stretch my hair using chunky twists so here it is.  This time I did an oil treatment, more like a moisture treatment the night before and bagged my hair. I used coconut oil and Afro Botanics conditioner. I then washed my hair the next morning using my trusted black soap (I did’t get the Afro Botanics shampoo) and then applied the same conditioner and detangled in the shower using my fingers first and then followed with a wide toothed comb. I then used Afro Botanics  leave in conditioner and Twist & Shine Shea butter to twist my hair. I was not going for a high definition twist out but just twisting my hair for a good stretch. Because of my thinner ends, twist outs are not looking great so a pinned up do is normally the final style. In this case, I was preparing my hair for some mini African threading.

I hope it helps out someone, even one person will be great and if you have any questions for me, please put them in the comments section on the video. You can also request other videos that you would want to see there. Don’t forget to subscribe and rate the video. I will be posting a video on my review for Afro Botanics products that I used. Make sure you subscribe so that you can receive my videos straight to your inbox.

Otherwise, enjoy your holidays and many blessings to you and yours.

My Best Wash ‘N’ Go Ever On Natural Hair

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa
written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

Hey guys. So I have been doing a bit more wash ‘n’ go’s lately and have grown to love them. When I started the maximum hydration challenge, it just seemed normal to do wash ‘n’ go’s because they are so quick to do and you can go about your business soon afterwards without waiting for the hair to dry and re-style. Who says type 4 kinky hair can’t do wash ‘n’ go’s? In this video, I share with you how I do my wash ‘n’ go’s for the best results.

Summer Natural Hair Care

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa
written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

I love summer. No more layers of clothes just to feel warm and my hair flourishes in the humidity of rainy weather. So me and my hair are happy. But wait a minute, summer brings much more than that and our hair may suffer damage instead of flourishing if certain precautions are not taken. In the midst of the beautiful hot African sun, plenty weddings and end of year parties, you want to still take care of your hair to make sure breakage is minimized as much as possible.

Heatless Blow Out On Natural Hair

by Evenes Ruth Mafupa
written by Evenes Ruth Mafupa

In this video I show you how I use African threading aka amaphondo aka mabhanzi to stretch my natural kinky hair.

I used Shea butter, Extra Virgin Olive oil 4 Hair to make my hair soft and retain moisture for longer. I don’t stretch my hair often but because of my thinner ends, I am doing it almost once a month now. I still stay away from heat still so that is why I prefer to use this technique to stretch my hair.

Many blessings to you and yours.
