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
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 🙂
Hello, I haven’t blogged for a while. This is mainly because I’ve been wearing my signature style, sometimes with heat, and sometimes without. Also I got a bit lazy and, dare I say it, a little bored with my hair. This laziness led to dry split ends, so I had to trim about 1 inch… Continue reading New Year, Same Natural Hair Updo
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 like using Curlformers to stretch my hair but I find sleeping with them very uncomfortable and sometimes quite painful, so I decided to tryout the Hair Flair Softhood Hair Dryer Attachment. The softhood is made of flexible fabric and comes with a handy travel bag. As you can see from the above picture you secure… Continue reading Product Review: Curlformers & Hair Flair Softhood Bonnet on Natural Afro Hair
So after having fun with my twist-out I styled my hair into a more ‘grown-up’ secure hairdo. I like this style because from the front it looks like I have a flat-top, but when I turn around there’s an elegant flat-twist 🙂
I wasn’t in the mood for too much braiding so I blow-dried my hair. Before blow-drying I used some Keracare Leave-in Conditioner as my heat-protectant. This stuff is brilliant! It left my hair soft and stretched without any brittleness. I then made 9 big plaits and sealed the ends with coconut oil. The following morning… Continue reading Casual Braid-Out
I’ve had fun playing with my Curlformers these past few weeks, but they are time consuming and very uncomfortable to sleep in despite what some people may say. So what to do? A flat twist up-do of course! I want my hair to be out of sight and out of mind for a week… Continue reading Back to my Flat-Twist Up-do
This is a favourite up-do style which I wore this week. It consists of a French Roll at the back, two flat twists at the sides and a mini pompadour at the front. I blow-dried my hair to create this style but I made sure to use A LOT of heat-protectant beforehand. It’s perfect if… Continue reading Everyday Natural Hair Up-do
