Hairdrobe 1

O- Castille soap + ACV: This is the squeezy bottle I put a mixture of Castille soap and ACV when I want to wash my hair. I add the ACV because Castille soap has a high PH so it is advisable to use the ACV to reduce it.

P- Quality Street Chocolate Accessories: Yes, I know you have been wondering if chocolates are used to condition the hair also. Well, sorry, it’s just the container I use to pack some of my hair accessories, mostly bows ribbons and flower. I have accessories in like five different containers, these are just two of them.

Q – Voluminising Leave-In conditioner: Got this from Boots. I really am not a leave-in conditioner person but I want to start being one. Please, who will teach me how to be one and tell me what exactly I am to use it for? I am serious o, lol

R- Aloe Vera Gel: By now, you will know that I use this to do my twists. It is the first on my scale of preference of gels.

S- Castor Oil: This is a cold extract castor oil, which is also ingested by people with digestion issues. I dilute it with olive oil and apply it on my hair and edges every morning. I also use it to make hair products.

T- Setting Lotion: I got this from superdrugs . After reading Natmane’s post about her braid out and how she used setting lotion, I went ahead to get myself two of this. I tried it and it did not come out as lovely as hers at all. In fact, it was a mess. So I am stuck with it, trying to know what exactly to use it for. Please advise if you can, what exactly can a natural hair carrier use a setting lotion for?

U- Shea Butter (Mango Flavour): It is raw shea butter mix with a little mango oil. I am sure some of you did not know that mango had oil till this moment. I got this from the last Natural Hair meet up from Sherese Ijewere but haven’t used it since then. I plan on using it once I finish the shea butter in my hairdrobe.

Hairdrobe 2

A- Olive Oil: A naturalista’s hairdrobe without olive oil is a blah blah blah, in my own opinion. I can’t even begin to name all the things I use olive oil for. Prepoo, daily conditioning, making products, etc.

B- Africa Naturalista Hair Butter: This is my own hair butter, not just a remnant this time. I use it every morning to seal in moisture in my hair. 

C- Honey: I use this as one of the ingredients for my prepoo, which I do every 2 weeks. For more details on prepooing, click here

D – Henna Blocks: I have never used henna before but have heard so many wonderful stories about this stuff. So I bought these blocks which I will be dissolving into paste, block by block whenever I need it. This is supposed to give the black effect. I got this for £7.75 so it better be worth it. I guess I will be talking more to Natural Nigerian about it.

E – Accessories: Another box of accessories, mainly hair bands, this time.

F- Training head: I am sure you all know this by now. I talked about it in this post. She is still unused. Please, pray for me so that I can dig my hands into her scalp and get my hands dirty.

G- Shower Cap: I use to to cover my head and trap heat in my hair during my prepoo sessions.

H- ACV: Apple Cider Vinegar, which I use to get rid of build ups

I – Shea Butter: This is another product I feel that every naturalista should possess. I use it to make hair products, seal in moisture on my hair and also use for prepooing.

J- Mayonnaise: I am sure you know my hair isn’t bread. I use this as one of the prepooing ingredients. Or is the anything else that mayonnaise can be used for, when it comes to natural hair?

Wow, I have finally come to the end of the hairdrobe post. I don’t know if there are typos, but if there are, please, forgive me.

I hope this has been very useful for you. Please, try to avoid junks in your hairdrobe. Junks are stuffs you don’t really need for your hair, won’t use and will eventually just lie there, useless. Before getting anything, find out if you really need it first.

Have a great week

P.S: I am serious about the leave-in conditioner and setting lotion questions I asked. Please, help answer if you have suggeestions
