Protective Styling: Crochet Braids.

Hello Naturalistas!

How are we all doing today? I finally got my crochet braids done during the weekend! I'm happy that my hair can rest for another month or more before I take braids out.
It took an hour, forty minutes to attach the pre-packed braids and I also like the fact that they are weightless! The icing on the cake is that I get to go makeup free for as long as I have them on! Yayyyyyy!!

Hairstylist: the amazing Anthonia (she's available on request and very affordable too!)

Until my next post, ciao! :-)

8 Tips For A Better Natural Hair Journey

Image
Very often, you see YouTubers making  natural hair seem like one very easy ride and making you want to grow natural hair, but what they never tell you is that this natural hair journey is not for the faint at heart. Believe me, it isn’t beans. I know because I have been wearing my hair natural since January 2014. That’s two years of hardwork, shea butter, spray bottles, coconut oil, argan oil, olive oil, black jamaican castor oil, peppermint oil, hemp oil, "vegetable oil, palm oil, and who knows, engine oil?" I have to admit that there have been good days too, when I got so many compliments, to which I just smile and said to myself, “If only they know how much work goes into this”.  Such days are like finding an empty filling station in Lagos right now that’s selling fuel at N86.5, rare! You probably still don’t believe me, especially considering the rate at which Nollywood actresses are wearing their natural hair these days! Well, the following tips m

Akwete is vintage indigenous fabric from Nigeria. It was a sacred cloth passed down from generation to generation that had unfortunately been overlooked by most people because of it's locality (I wonder why though.
