So the following morning, I washed the tears from my face and went back to the stylist to complete my hair.
My scalp was sore and since I couldn't go back (take down the hair), I could only move forward (finish it up)!

I told the stylist that my hairstyle pushed me to tears and she carefully helped me to loosen the offending bits which was closer to the front of my hair.
It felt a better.....just a bit.

When she was through with the wraps, she burnt the ends with a lighter (to stop the yarn from unravelling) and dipped it all in hot water to soften it so it's less stiff.

So, the style of the week heading is not totally accurate because I've been rocking this style since the 29th of October and will be taking it down pretty soon!

Hi people, what's been on?

These 'ember' months are usually full of social events such as office dinners, weddings, family parties, Christmas parties, red carpet events and so on.
This is a really good opportunity to get your natural glam on and do something different from your daily buns and twists especially if that event is your wedding day!

Styling your natural hair for your wedding day doesn't mean you don't need to pamper your hair as you'll pamper your skin...
You're definitely going to go to the spa, get your mani and pedi....so why not treat your natural hair too?!
Before your big day, make sure your hair is ubermoisturised. When your hair is properly moisturised, it will hold styles well, be more defined and won't frizz up easily. No one wants frizzy hair on their wedding day....or any important event for that matter!

P.S. Even though I mention 'wedding'....feel free to slot in any major event you need to get prepped up for!


PRE WEDDING HAIR CARE

1. Snip off any split ends. Cleanse your hair and scalp with a moisturising creamy cleanser. Another moisturising option for cleansing your hair is using a cleansing mask such as Bentonite or Rhasshoul clay...

2. Follow up the cleansing with a deep conditioning mask to hydrate your hair. This is a time to treat whatever hair issues you have with your hair.
Incorporate the necessary oils, herbs and natural products into the deep conditioning mask. It's your wedding, make sure you use the best. Don't skimp on quality.

3. Follow up the deep conditioning with a hair and scalp massage using stimulating and moisturising oils to trap in moisture within the cortex of the hair.
If properly done, your hair should be soft, silky with well hydrated coils.

Hi peeps, what's been on?

So.... it seems like Lagos peeps have all the fun, right???

ermm.....nope.... cos Abuja here's yours too!

While Lagos peeps will be trooping to Omenka Gallery for the Naturals In The City MeetUp on the 30th November 2013, I'm pleased to let you know that Abuja peeps will also be trooping down to Lumo Naturals Hair Salon and Spa for a day of full body massages, manis , pedis and facials including free goodies and mocktails that same day (30th November 2013) .....Awesome right?!

Hi people, what's been on?

If you're based in Lagos or around Lagos, I'm pleased to inform y'all that the NITC7 meetup is holding on the 30th of November 2013!

My favorite part of this meetup is that there'll be a product swap...
......so if you have products that you haven't used or have used less than half, isn't expired and is still in good condition, this is an opportunity to bring them and swap them for other similarly donated products of your choice!
The more products you bring, the more products you can swap in exchange....so hunt 'em down, people!

Then remember the Indian oiling method I've been yapping about and how it helped me retain length...well this method is just one part of the whole Ayurvedic hair and skin treatment methods and if this worked so well, I can't wait to learn about others....and the best part is....all the herbs you need will be made available at the meetup......so don't miss this opportunity!


Oh ....and this is the season for Christmas parties, weddings and family meet ups.....and after all the work you put into having healthy hair, what better way to show off than with glamorous hairstyles! This meetup is dedicated to showing you simple ways to protective style and look your best!

Okay, I've spilled enough!
