Hello Ladies!!! 
The 6 inches of growth challenge is over and it's actually the last time I will be doing the challenge on my blog...I have changed my focus from simply having length at the end of the year to other things like styling and volume ( big hair!!) So expect other challenges along those lines in the future!!

For now though, the valid votes have been collated ( as usual I disqualified votes cast by the same person multiple times or cast after 12 midnight) and with 56 valid votes.....

Hiya Ladies!!!

It feels like forever since I put up a hair update so I am here to do just that!! 

Ladies I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I AM 20 WEEKS post relaxer!!!!!! 


*Yes I am screaming in my head* You see this thing called the mind, it is POWERFUL!!! Something that feels so daunting and impossible can become totally attainable when you just switch the ignition in your mind and go for it!!! I used to be the girl who relaxed my hair EVERY MONTH so this is a mega feat!!! I'm just going to keep going and see where this lands me!!!

So what have I been up to...I trim my ends quite a bit because I want to maintain really thick ends...that plus my new growth have made my hair appear shorter than before and that A-OKAY with me!!

To manage my textures I have been using an array of products from the beautiful textures leave in conditioner to Shea moisture JBCO leave in also the profectiv leave in conditioner in a tub to organics...I have run through at least 6 bottles/tubs of leave ins in the past 4 months!!! If you know the products I have mentioned, you know they are not cheap! So I decided to look in wards to see if any of our made in Nigeria products could give me the results I desperately needed and also not hurt my pocket in the process...that's when I found KUI CARE!!



Their leave in conditioner which costs between N700 to N800 depending on where you buy it leaves my hair feeling super moist...this is after I use their tea tree and cinnamon hair mist which is not more than N1500 for a generous 16oz bottle and is great for soothing the scalp in between wash days. 

This is my bun at 20 weeks!!! I cannot believe how flat the base is all thanks to the Kui care hair mist and some Eco styler gel!!!




I recently read about stretching the new growth with threading to avoid less tangles and knots at the base....so last night I gave it a go!! Made sure to pull together all the new growth I could in each section after intensely moisturizing and sealing!! 





I'm rocking the thread look for a few days to work ( Don't worry everyone at work is now used to the HAIR LADY!! lol!!!), can't wait to unravel and see how it turns out!!!





That's it for now people!! Feel free to update me about your hair in the comments section!! Hope it is good news all the way!!!!

In Lagos? I'd love to hang with you on Saturday!!! Register to attend the SAMPLE PARTY with KUI CARE!! You will meet the C.E.O Majiri Otobo, mingle with fellow naturalistas, nibble and sip on refreshing lemonade and mocktails all while watching live demos with the Kuicare products!!! Don't miss out on this relaxing gathering this Saturday at 4;30pm!!!

Hiya Ladies,
As this year comes to a close, we all know that the inevitable is upon us here in Nigeria!! Harmattan! When the weather changes, the sun is at the he all time high, the air is stiff and dry and the leaves fall and ground hardens!!
Lips begin to crack and chap, skin is dry and ashy...

What of our hair? Without any kind of TLC, prepare for some UV damage from the sun causing the hair to dry out and ends to split. The lack of humidity will also cause the scalp to dry out and those prone to dandruff and scaly scalps with have them in excess, your hair line will move a few steps backwards if care is not taken.

So it's Dabs to the rescue!! Here's my ultimate tried and tested survival kit to get by the Harmattan season!!



Spray bottle- This is a must for daily water based hair spritzing. Just add drinking water or Aloe Vera juice or Rose water with a few drops of essential oils, keep the mix light and use as regularly as needed. What you need this season is hydrated hair, so small mists of water on your hair will give it that hydration before wash day....use the spray bottle from a distance, the idea is not to leave your hair dripping wet.

Satin sleep cap- is an essential for ALL WEATHERS but more especially during the dry season to help retain moisture and protect especially the edges.


Hats/scarves- Did you know your hair can suffer from Sun damage?!! Excessive exposure to the sun and it's UV rays can damage the cuticle of the hair and cause it to be dry, brittle and discolored!! If you know you will be out in the sun for a long time this season, I advice you carry along a hat or scarf to cover up your hair.

Light Hair oil for your scalp- This is an essential for the scalp and pre-poos which should be regular this season because you don't want your scalp becoming dry and scaly with dandruff or shampoo drying it out hence the need for the pre-poos. Why light oils? Well because you also don't want to clog your scalp pores with heavy oils like castor oil for instance....lean towards light oils like grape seed oil, jojoba and sweet almond oil.


Whipped butter for your ends- when it comes to sealing your ends, this season demands that you go heavier than usual. So using hair butters like whipped Shea butter, mango butter, cocoa butter etc to seal your ends so they retain moisture more than ever in the dry air is very important.

Detangler Comb- This is the only comb you should use!! Anything smaller in this dry weather is asking for trouble!! Finger detangle if you can...less manipulation this season is key.


Water based moisturizer- This is another essential especially when you want to detangle on any day other than wash day. Any product with water as the first ingredient, shouldn't contain glycerin for this season, doesn't contain mineral oil and all the bad stuff like parabens and sulphates is A-Okay!!


So don't fret!! We've got this!! Harmattan who?
Please share more tips if you have any.
