kinky

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.

…Would you want my type of hair? These were the words of what I call a beautiful girl whom we shall call Mpho for now, as she played in her Indian friend’s hair. I had gone to collect my boys from school one sunny but slightly chilly afternoon and as I waited for them to be called from the play ground, I happened to over hear the above one sided conversation. I say one sided because Mpho’s friend did not answer back. She did not seem to mind Mpho playing with her hair though. Mpho looked about 10 years old, somewhere there and had a beautiful afro. A full head of kinky hair, combed out. I wanted to approach her and ask her why she preferred her friend’s hair to her own. I stopped short of gathering her in my arms and whispering to her that her hair is indeed beautiful. Because of the school policy governing the conduct of parents and learners which are not their children, I could not. I just looked hopelessly and walked away wondering what must have been going on in Mpho’s mind.
