3 Reasons why I wont stop wearing my hair
Hey sweethearts! how you doing? :-) pretty good I bet!
So this post is about the question that may be running through peoples minds...like...since you started your hair journey you've been wearing your hair whether it looks good or not... What's the bling bling about your hair? I mean why don't you switch to a weave or the newest reigning hairstyle?... Hmmm! Lol.
Some days back while I was walking home from school with some friends, one of them told me how a guy that wanted to see me gave a description of me. He said so many things but the one that struck me was when he said... "The girl that always wears her hair and makes different fine styles with it (*blush*...lol) at this point it was certain he was talking about me. But no I'm not sayingsaying that I'm the only girl that wear my hair in the whole of uniport but its just something significant because a lot of people complement me with giving the fact that I style it. So why have I suddenly forgotten about extensions, weaves and recently dropped wigs...here are some of my reasons.

Relaxer update and length check...made it to Bra Strap Length!
Hey cuties! Hope were all doing great today? Its finally here! My relaxer update and length check. Its my 1year and 6months hhj mark and I'm happy I have come this far. I will put up a progress picture post soon so you all can see where I come from.
I'd like to hint that this is just a brief relaxer day procedure as I plan to explain how I relax and why... I overlap my relaxers... I bet you didnt Know...
Alright here's what happened.
(1) detangled and twisted my hair into sections the day before relaxing...this took me 2 hours. Here is a pic of how much New growth I had.
Some ways i have styled my hair from 14-17 weeks post relaxer
Hey sweethearts! :-) I have good news for you! I have ended my stretch and I relaxed at almost 18weeks post (17weeks and 5 days) that post will be up next.
While still on my stretch I wore some styles that made my life easier. I also had a relaxer preparation washday and I blow dried my hair. The washday was my thoughest. Detangling was such a hassle and I lost sooooo much hair. For fear that I would face a setback it had to be my last. This was at 16 weeks post.
Here are the few protectivestyles that I rocked between my last washday post and now.

Natural Hair washday: A twistout without the actual twisting but with threading
Hello there! how do you do? Its been quite a long time since I updated you on my sisters washday and hair journey in general. Its going fine and her hair regimen has been the same. She's currently 3 Inches away from arm pit length and her goal is to be there by December. Here's a length check pic.
She's actually full shoulder length. We have plans on straightening her hair by December to mark her 2 year hair journey. We had washday at the end of the month of march and this is how it went...everything is as usual.
(1) prepoo with coconut oil
(2) finger detangle gently to remove shed hair
(3) shampoo with ORS creamy aloe shampooon scalp and it was rinsed down the length of the hair.
(4) deep conditioned with ORS hair mayonnaise for some strength as she plans to get a protective style with extensions for the Easter celebration.
(5)wrapped it up for 15 mins to soak up excess water .

Fruit friday: Benefits of banana & my banana fruit mix
Bananas are exeptionally healthy as they
provide numerous health benefits. It is a
versatile fruit that contains many nutrients
including vitamins A, B, C and E along with
minerals like potassium, zinc, iron and
manganese. Just as eating a banana helps in
keeping your body in good health and great
shape, application of this fruit on your hair
and skin will help you to keep them in great
condition.
Nutritional Value Of Banana:
Natural sugars: glucose, fructose and
sucrose,
Vitamins and minerals: vitamin B6,
vitamin C, Vitamin A, potassium,
dietary fibre, biotin, carbohydrates,
magnesium, riboflavin and manganese.

Bananas are very common and always in season... Its one of my favourite fruits and I don't know anyone who doesn't like it but if you don't love to eat it, putting it on your hair or as a face mask is another option.
Mashed bananas can do wonders to your hair by making it extremely soft and shiny.
So when you are picking up fruits for a lovely fruit salad you might want to throw in some banana slices like I did in this pic below... I like to sprinke little salt and toss in the fridge for a chilled fruit mix.
Fruits in the mix:
Banana
Pineapple
Papaya (paw paw)
Are you also a fan of bananas?
