WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

This is a long due post but first,I apologize for MIA for weeks now or maybe month. Just when I thought I was free,exam came knocking heavily,school wahala.......blablabla. Lol!


So have been terribly ignoring my hair because I was busy. I didn't wash hair for quite a while,a month or maybe more. *covers face*. But I have been moisturizing with my moisturizing mix,doing oil massage,moisturizing and sealing often was a no no. 


Last week when I was about preparing for another exam of mine the next day,I couldn't take the itching anymore due to the build ups. Ran into the shower immediately and before I knew it,I washed my hair,deep conditioned,applied leave-in conditioner,moisturized and seal.




Detangling + Quick length check(Here,i procrastinated about washday after detangling......didn't wash hair not until after another 3weeks)


Left: After washing &deep conditioning
Right: After applying leave-in conditioner, moisturizer and sealant.(was working on single section out of 4)


All 4 sections completed


Am seeing curls o. Hehe!


After all,bunned hair and covered with a silk scarf

Left: hair loss from a single section.
Right: from all 4 sections


LITTLE GIST

-Tried washing my hair and detangling in the shower,it was a total failure. Hair matted like I can't describe enough

-Because I didn't wash hair for more than a month,detangling hair took additional hours. I think the hair loss after all was too much. Never will I ignore my hair up to that extent again.

-Guess what? My hair got burnt. Yea it was like a dream,was actually reading with candle and it was during that harmattan period,before I knew it sha......I was smelling burnt.....oh God my hair. The way I ran ehn for the next move wasn't funny. Lol! But thank God the hair that was burnt wasn't obvious at all,it was like nothing happened. I have to be more careful.

-Guess what? Did a simple protective style before washing hair. Check it out.





Ummm that would be all for now,thanks for visiting. 

Oh by the way,has your hair been burnt before? What did you do?

PROTECTIVE STYLE| SUNFLOWER BUN


Permit me please to wish y'all a Prosperous New Year even though it's few days to February. *shines teeth*
As a matter of fact,this is my first post for the year and I planned posting on MY HAIRNIVERSARY in my previous post. Later changed my mind to do that next year unfailingly. I digress.
Big sis came home for Christmas last year and I experimented with her texlaxed hair trying out a protective style named "SUNFLOWER LOVE BUN" BY JUDITHERESE. All credits to her because she's the genius  behind the creative style.
She said she doesn't like the front style. She's gonna kill me when she sees this(her face)

Front view: She loves this

Back view of the sunflower bun

Dunno if I really got the style right but at least I tried it out. Couldn't complete the front style which should be in form of love due to insufficient bobbypins. 

  What do you think? Would you rock this? Yea or Nay?

HAIR UPDATE| FIRST BANTU KNOT OUTS EVER

Dear people, been a while. Hope y'all good? Lately, i've been lazy with my hair. I was loving my flat-ironed hair after my RELAXER UPDATE , when suddenly my hair started itching, couldn't take it anymore after a week and so i cowashed my hair. Ever since then, i've been moisturizing and sealing and also bunning which serves as my protective style.  But now i just wanted to try something different apart from bunning my hair, so i decided to give Bantu Knot Outs a try. I've been seeing people r

MY FIRST EVER FLATTWIST OUT

This is absolutely a due post,forgive moi......*covers face*.  Remember i took off my braids and did a length check? Good! Well after that,i washed my hair; started with detangling,followed by pre-pooing,shampooing and deep conditioning my hair. Then, i air dried my hair and applied my leave-in conditioner, moisturizer and olive oil. And off to the dream world, i slept off. Lol!
Next day,i applied my heat protectant and flat ironed my hair in school, the guy that did it was just too good. Then,i two strand flattwisted my hair over night. Too bad i didn't take pictures. But don't you worry, i did the next day after untwisting my hair, i just applied my hair spray, olive oil and that's all. Check out my hair oooooo.

HOW I STYLE MY BRAIDS

Hello hairlevationistas,
         Haha! Don't mind me o. Hope y'all had a lovely great day?  Mine was kind of dull in the beginning. Was indoor all through and i slept like i was never gonna wake up,glad i eventually did. All thanks to God. So when i woke up(it was evening by then), i decided it was time to make MY OWN COCONUT OIL.  Yes don't worry dear,will definitely post on that in few days time.
        To cut the whole drama.....when it was 9pm,i took my phone, went through my photo gallery and bam! I saw pictures of how i had previously worn my braids out and i wanted to share... though i'm not that good in styling braids but I'm learning. *winks* Do enjoy!!!

PROTECTIVE STYLE- LOOSE BRAIDS

Lovelies,
        Happy sunny day to y'all. I'm quite late posting this,was kindda busy. Since i'd be stretching my hair till july, i decided to braid my hair. Yea,this will serve as my protective style for now and i plan to keep it for 1 and half - 2months. (covers face.....no money o).  I used one big & small size expression..... color 2 precisely. I also made sure i washed my hair some days before braiding so as to ensure clean scalp. What i love most about this box braid?  It is loose and my hairline  not stressed unlike tight braids.  Check out some of the pictures i took below:
