I like to blow dry hair my but I don’t like how long it takes, so I’m always looking for a way to speed up the process, cue Shea Moisture Smooth & Repair Blow Out Cream. The term ‘blow out’ just sounds…wrong. It’s not a commonly used term here in the UK but anyhoo. Now… Continue reading Product Review – Shea Moisture Smooth and Repair Blow Out Cream
I got my act together and now my hair is back to its normal length 🙂 This style is very quick and easy to do. I did two jumbo flat twists going upwards and made my usual fringe/pomp at the front and voila! An elegant natural hair style suitable for all occasions.
Natural hair wash day is not to be done in a rush, and definitely not when one is tired as I was. I washed and deeped conditioned my hair as usual, but I left my deep conditioner on for longer than my usual 30 minutes, more closer to one hour, which resulted in my hair… Continue reading Natural Hair Wash Day & Shrinkage
This video has been getting a lot of views this week, so I’m just sharing the love. My favoutite style is the 1950s 🙂
Gosh, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on my blog. The main reason for this is that I’ve been either blow-drying or curlforming my hair, and my main styles have been two jumbo twists and stretched up-dos so not much variety going on. I have discovered some new products which I will be reviewing… Continue reading Curlformed Updo
I was quite lazy with my hair over Christmas and New Year. It was just in 2 Jumbo twists, which I moisturized and redid every week. Now that I’m back at work it’s back to my natural hair up-do 🙂

Last week Natalie received a perfect score of 40 from the judges for her sexy salsa, which she danced to Michael Jackson’s ‘Wanna be… Continue reading Natalie Gumede & Artem’s Salsa and Argentine Tango
Another week, another up-do. My Curlformers are getting a good work-out these days. They are the ultimate tool for heat and chemical-free ‘straight’ hair 🙂 I did this style in a hurry so it’s not as neat as I would have liked. This was meant to be a French Braid but I’m still not… Continue reading Weekly Up-do on Curlformer-Stretched Natural Hair
My Natalie Gumede obsession is alive and well. In last Saturday’s episode of Strictly Come Dancing Natalie and Artem danced a Charleston to Will.i.am’s ‘Bang Bang’. I wasn’t sure if the song would work but it does. It’s very addictive! The live singers sang it brilliantly and deserve much credit. It was also good to… Continue reading Natalie Gumede & Artem’s Charleston to ‘Bang Bang’
I’ve been blogging since November 2012 so to mark this milestone I created this gallery of my favourite styles from the past year 🙂 As you may have observed I’m a big fan of flat-twists and up-dos. This is because they ‘tame’ my locks, look stylish and do not require the use of heat and… Continue reading 12 Months of Protective Styles on Natural Hair
