My Hair Regimen: All My Secrets and Tips



Just in case some of you guys are new to my blog. I use this as a forum to document my hair growth and my hair journey in general. I don't wear my hair out all the time but when I do I get asked a lot of questions because of my tremendous hair growth within a short time. July 30th will mark my second anniversary of my big chop & honestly I think my hair is doing pretty good. It's healthy, thick, strong and soft & most importantly it's growing. So here's my regimen on what I do to my hair now.

HAIR REGIMEN (FULL VERSION)

*After I take my hair out after a protective hair style- no matter how short- I always make sure I do an intense hair treatment. This is important because the stress of your hair from whatever protective hairstyle you've done needs to be showered with love ! There is not time to be lazy !

*Next pick a wash day. Mine just happens to be Sunday- so my hair is fresh for Monday : ).

Crochet Install: Part 2




I know , I know. I'm late with this post, but school has been kicking my ass. Like literally. Im in class right now. There's no end to this law school madness, but none the less I am here so let's talk ! NATURAL HAIR !!

If you read my first post on my crochet's then this hairstyle isn't new. After I installed my crochet hair using marley hair- I decided to set my hair with bantu knot like curls using perm rods ! The after math: Gorge ! My curls came out so flawless and perfect- and the fact that it looked like the hair was growing from my head made it that much better !

Product Review: Red Palm Oil as Moisturizer





Yes. You read right. For all African readers you all must be like whattttttt? Growing up in a Nigerian household Red Palm Oil was a staple as well as a base dish in many of the things my family cooked. But when I did some research on the actual benefits of Palm Oil for hair I was quite surprised!

Palm Oil is actually great for moisturizing hair. Especially African- American hair which has a tendency to be drier than most (*raises hand and nods head). Besides moisturizing hair, Palm Oil has other great benefits that our can benefit from. It's great to add to a pre-poo, a deep conditioner, leave-in and even to your DIY Whipped Butter mix !

What is Palm Oil?

  • Palm oil is the oil derived from certain palm fruits especially from the palm fruits of West Africa. It is a popular vegetable oil especially used in cooking, baking, cosmetics and cleaning products.
