💦STRETCHED💦

Just a quick one this morning showing how I keep my ends stretched.

This is an easy solution for those who complain about single stranded knots.

I'm using rollers at the ends of my hair. I leave them in overnight so my ends are stretched by morning. 

No rollers? Do bantuknots.

Knots come with the territory of natural hair since curly hair likes to play a game of 'Tangle tag'.

Knots can't be avoided ...well unless you want to be a full time knot police for each of your 1 million + curly strands.

However, they can be minimised by keep your ends stretched, moisturised and split free (a trim will work here)

Hope this helps someone.

What's your go to method for tackling knots?

Here's a QUICK and EASY natural hair style that isn't a bun.

(Seriously, who else is tired of boring ole bun???)🙄🙄🙄🙄

I'm a lazy naturalista and I usually don't like doing styles that'll take all day and a half!!!😓😓😓

I also don't comb my hair....maybe like two or three times a year.🤔

.

One of my secrets for tangle free hair is using products with lots of SLIP...like snail slime slip 🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌

I recently received Afrobynature Hair products and boy...this Nigerian brand does not joke with SLIP.....and they smell absolutely yummy...like vanilla cream caramel 😋😋😋😋

.

For this hairstyle, I used Afrobynature Hydrating Leave In Conditioner In Conditioner to detangle and moisturise my hair. .

Then I used AfrobyNature Hair Butter to style. 

Unlike some hair butters, this product isn't greasy at all...and the slip!

Can you see my curls popping?😍😍😍

.

These products were part of the NNGxAfrobyNature 'Moisture' Kit which is SOLD OUT!!!💃💃💃💃💃

PS.  This is one of ten natural hair style video tutorials I created!
Yup, I've finally started making videos!!!

You can watch the rest on my Instagram and let me know what you think!

Here's my chilled zobo (hibiscus) drink infused with pineapple because.....I don't like soda...icecream or beer.🙄🙄🙄

I'm the weird woman at a party who prefers to drink plain water.

How do I tell my host that I don't drink Coke, Fanta, Sprite etc. ?

How do I tell my host that I'd rather take fresh fruits, fresh juice or yoghurt?

How do I tell my host that it has nothing to do with watching my weight as my host looks up and down my slender frame?

🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️Quick question: 

Is it only when one wants to lose weight that a person tries to eat healthy??? 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

What's the random fact about you that people find puzzling?

Hi guys, what's been on!

You know how I'm always going on and on about the importance of effective products in your natural hair care...and how the right products can make hair care super easy?🤔

Well, I finally got a perfect picture to illustrate what I've been saying.😋😋😋.

.

Soooooo, I used two different products on two different sections of my hair....

Product A: was a moisturising product and Product B: was a protein product. 

I applied them directly on dry hair. 

I did not use water or any product beforehand. 

.

🌿As you can see, the moisturising products made my curls looser than the protein one. 🌿

💦The moisturising product contains active humectants that draw moisture to my hair. The weight of this moisture caused my fine natural hair to stretch...a lot like how your hair stretches out in the shower when wet.💦

.

🍳 The protein product contained hydrolysed proteins that immediately binds to hair, repair peptide bonds and improve curl structure which is why my curls appeared tighter.This is why you think proteins causes your hair to feel harder.🍳

.

.

💦A balance of both moisture and protein helps keep my hair healthy, moisturised,  prevent breakage and improve length retention leading to longer hair.💦

What's your favourite protein or moisture deep conditioner?

Deep conditioning is an important step in my regimen especially since I have breakage prone and colored natural hair.

I deep condition everytime I shampoo or cowash my hair. Depending on the state of my hair, I'll do either a protein or moisture deep conditioning treatment.

I was asked on Instagram whether I prefer store bought deep conditioners to DIY deep conditioners and which one was most effective.

The way my life is set up currently, I prefer store bought deep conditioners.

 I wrote a post explaining my preference in more detail here

.

🤔🤔🤔Meanwhile which deep conditioners do you prefer? Store bought or DIY🤔🤔

You don't stop laughing because you grow older, you grow older because you stop laughing!😁😁😁

An optimist laughs to forget; a pessimist forgets to laugh....and a 

well-balanced person is one who finds both sides of an issue laughable. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

No matter what life throws at you, don't forget to stop laughing....and being grateful always gives one a reason to keep laughing. 

Give thanks for all the small things, big things and everything in between.

. 🍃P.S. You can start with giving thanks for your shrinkage because it means your hair is healthy!🍃
