WHY I THINK I’M A NATURAL HAIR NAZI

 This post is dedication to my #6monthprotectivestylechallenge. It ended last month! 6 whole months of wearing my afro in Braids, Headwraps, Wigs and Low manipulative hair style. I loved all my hairstyles! They were simple and inexpensive. I think the most expensive ones were my long silver box braids.

 

Here are the results;

6 MONTH PROTECTIVE STYLE CHALLENGE RESULTS

Before:

LENGTH CHECK 4C HAR

Length: 7 & 1/2 inches

After:

LENGTH CHECK

Length: 9 & 1/2 inches

That’s about right. Hair grows on n average of 4-6 inches per year. In half that time (6months) I got my allotted 2&1/2 inches.

I also love protective styling, lazy natural for Life. I could protective style 12 months in a year even! Because I know it is the surest and easiet way to preserve nappy hair length and health.

I didn’t miss my Mushu one bit (lol..ok lies, but you get the gist) and the timing was perfect for India. I only shampooed and conditioned once in the whole time I was there.
Will you join me on the next protective style challenge?? Have you gone a protective style challenge before? If so, what were your results?

How to properly end African Threading without Damage

The oldest form of stretching natural hair is known as African Threading. African Threading is a way of stretching your natural hair without heat. Although this method is effective, when it comes to finishing the threading, a knot is usually created at the end of the hair. If not done properly, you can end up damaging your hair when it is time to remove the thread.
In this video, I show you two ways of ending the threading so as to avoid this issue.

The Limited Styling Options Of A Fine-textured Natural Hair + my love - hate relationship with bobby pins

Hello, everyone!

When I found out that my hair was a finely-textured 4a, I did not think it would come with any challenges. Actually, I thought it was a free pass from the endless hours of detangling. (Guys, my hair barely gets tangled!) But as I went on, I began to discover a few things here and there; like my twists can't last more than a week before getting really frizzy. Which also means that I can't wear certain styles. Translation, my styling option were limited.

It didn't really hit me until a few weeks ago during Kemi Lewis' photoshoot for her lookbook. She already planned a few styles for me. Most importantly, her signature style. It did not occur to her that I had a different texture until she took down my puff. Eventually, she had to swap my styles for the other model with 4c while she made do with my 4a like a professional. ( The results were awesome btw!). I didn't even know how I felt that day. All of the excitement did not allow me to process all of it until I got home. But before then, I casually mentioned my predicament and Kemi kept nodding in affirmation, confirming my fears. Then she told me not to think too much about it that there was nothing I could do about it. Plus, my hair was healthy and in perfect condition. Of course, I agreed and got over it quick.

You know how they say there's a blessing in every disappointment? Yeah well, I believe it. Just when I was thinking about my limited styling options, I just remembered my love - hate relationship with bobby pins and I thought, 'wow, a blessing in disguise'. Yes ladies, the same ole bobby pins. One of the holy grail tools of natural hair. Yes, it gives me migraines. No, there's no way around it even when it is loosely placed. The other time I went to the salon, I had more than 20 bobby pins placed in my hair. Before the end of the week, I took them all down. I kind of expected them to suggest alternatives styles but that's just by the way.

It's been incredibly challenging styling my natural hair without bobby pins. Initially, I started wearing solely puffs but then my hair grew longer I needed to experiment and find a way around it. So far, I've gotten a hang out it. Instead, I try to use other accessories. I just recently discovered the goodness of side combs and it has helped so much. I just tuck my hair in and hold it down with a comb(s) and I'm good to go. I also use stretchy hair combs to keep my updos in place.

So yeah, when there's a will, there's a way.
