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.
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.
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.
Hey folks. Met one of Natural Sisters’ readers at a wedding in Durban. I had come all the way from Johannesburg and she was coming from Cape Town only to meet in Durban. How cute life presents itself sometimes. I thought I had lost the photos I was taken with Nicole in Durban so I was not going to be able to share with you. But then, some time last week, I noticed I had already saved them before my handbag was stolen in September. I was at the wedding on the 30th of August. Real awesome time.
Check my hand at short term protective styling on straight hair. I am not used to dealing with straight hair at all since I am always in twist outs and mini twists. Anyways, a skill can always be learnt considering I cannot really do much of twist -outs or mini twists because of my pitiful ends. Life has to move on right. I think this style came out really cute and I am proud of myself big time. Not bad for a novice. So here we go…
Big hugs to you!!

P.S this video was published some two weeks back. I just neglected to share on the blog.
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.
Hey folks. So I did this hairstyle some time back on stretched hair (used African threading to stretch my hair) and I thought I could share with you.
Thanks for coming by and many blessings to you and yours.
Hey guys. Just checking in for a bit to give you guys some tickets for the upcoming Africa International Hair Expo. This is the third time running in South Africa and after attending the one held last year, I would not miss this one. Did a video about the one held in 2013 here.
Hey Guys. I do not have locks, am not planning on having locks although I think it is a very good protective style if you can afford the maintenance. However, the reason for my post today is to warn you guys who wear your hair in dreadlocks. Don’t style them too tight. Pleeeeeeese.
