Water!!!

Yes! The best moisturizer for my hair is water.
Drinking it,sprinkling it on my hair. My hair is NEVER thirsty.
But the peeing,oh!!!!!

Downside of being natural in Naija

Seriously,someone needs to come up with natural hair care products in Naija!
It's not easy when I see posts on YouTube and Facebook about products that work well for my fellow naturalistas in the US and the UK. Arrrrggggghhhh!
But it's all good. With a little bit of DIY,I'm giving my hair all the TLC it needs with ingredients from those products being used by my fellow naturalistas abroad.
I've learned to whip up my own coconut/Shea butter hair butter.
Olive oil,apple cider vinegar,aloe Vera juice…just to name a few.
It's hard work but I'm kinda having fun.
Stay tuned!

Healthy Journey

Funny how I started off on a journey to natural healthy hair and I find myself on an overall healthy journey.
Being a mother of three and a stay at home mom,taking care of me isn't a priority. Over the years,I've literally let myself go.
I'm not super obese but I'm not one hundred percent healthy,either.
My hair journey,so far,has set me on a path I never thought of taking but I've,however,found myself in.
Don't get me wrong,I have tried to lose weight before now and I did lose some weight but eating healthy? Not so much. And being someone who doesn't really stick to a thing for a long time(I'm Gemini),I'm really proud of myself! And I'm loving every minute of it.
Stay tuned!

Got braids in!

Decided to get braids as my hair is fragile right now. Styling two textures is also very difficult. I just might chop of my relaxed hair sooner than I plan.
We'll just have to wait and see…

Braids as protective styling

So I got braids in,because for the past week,I've been tempted to chop off all my relaxed hair. Lol
The braids will help me keep the scissors away for at least another month.
I deep condition and applied oil by myself. Unfortunately,my hair didn't dry well enough by the time I got to the salon so I had to use heat to dry it. *cringe*. But I guess this one time wo t hurt…I hope.

Here's my journey so far. Nothing spectacular since this is the beginning stage…

Updates!!

So I'm trying out this new way of growing out hair. I'll be posting pics to update. Stay tuned!

Big Decision:I'm going natural!

So,I've decided to grow out my natural hair! Being from Nigeria where wearing a weave has become popular,over the years,it's a bit scary to go into these unchartered waters. But I'm tired of trying to manage the damage done to my hair by straightening with relaxers and flat irons. The chemical and heat damage done to my hair is terrible. I'm taking back my hair!Lol. That sounded so political. Any way,I'm going natural and I'm already getting the "Aren't you due for a retouch?" I guess for now I'll have to keep relying on support from my fellow naturalistas from the US and the Uk. I'm off to YouTube to get more support from my fellow naturalistas,until I can find naturalistas in Naija.
