AFRO CORNER

Over the past 4 years I have seen a big come back of the natural African woman’s hair. This change probably arose due to over prized ‘weave-ons’ and quickly thinning and declining hair lines. Well I am pleased to say that with your natural hair you are quite unlikely to have thinning hair as long as it is not being chemically altered. In this corner I will drop tips to easily maintaining a ‘Fro’ and might I just add. Anything worth having is worth putting the time and resource to.

QUICK TIPS ON HANDLING YOUR NATURAL HAIR

• ·         Before you wash your hair put hair in small sections ready for de-tangling
• ·         It is best to detangle with a wide tooth comb. Lightly oil hair with Shea butter (best detangling oil ever!)
• ·         Cover hair with an elastic waterproof cap and allow the Shea butter steam the hair, you can add favorite oils.
• ·         Shampoo only your roots and not the whole length of natural hair this reduces drying of hair which leads to breakage (It is wise to use sulfate free shampoos). Rinsing the shampoo through the length of the hair is enough to clean the hair.
• ·         Remember to use a conditioner with enough slip in it. (It’s easier to condition if the hair is still in sections)
• ·         Allow the hair to Air dry, don't forget to add in your hair moisturizer and oils.

·         To properly maintain your natural hair. Heat use should be minimized as it alters the texture of hair and heat damaged hair is impossible to repair as the protein bond in the hair would be destroyed.

Till next time stay frosty….

.......Let's talk relationships

Relationships today are so ridiculous and I don't mean parent and child, no i'm talking about man and woman.
Its become this games with rules and ways and styles and patterns, I mean one could go to school to study how to date in Nigeria. For instance, a scenario for a typical Nigerian girl would be; Is he married... How long has he been chasing you, how is he chasing you, make him work for it, he won't appreciate it if you are just simple, don't pick your call always, don't be obvious, don't use the 'L' word yet. Well still have other guys as friends you don't want to put your eggs in one basket,  its just ridiculous. A scenario for a guy would be well I don't ACTUALLY KNOW.....its just so complicated. Why can't things be simple. A guy meets a girl, He loves her, they build a future together loving one another like in the stories, like Adam and Eve all easy and purposeful no games, no opinions, no stupid CULTURES. Just two people in love......................

..........loud voices, brisk movements, and sweat trickling down my face. Yes i am back to Nigeria. WOOHOO!!! the motherland. Yes people look like they could do with a chill pill and act like they are the ish... I love this place I call home.
My only concern might be reconnecting with friends or better yet finding new friends. Plus there is going to be need for maximum FRIZZ CONTROL my hair looks like a big ball of mess.

FIRST BUSINESS OF ORDER: DRIVING and GYM

Transitioning my hair

Finally I've come out of the closet. I have been so Jelly (Jealous) of the beautiful curls and locks of the Naturalistas that I couldn't hold back myself anymore.
Okay for real I just want to know that I am not damaging my hair and increasing any chance of baldness in my old age. Plus I have never got to know my curl pattern and stuff. So lets try this out.
Thanks to youtubers like longhairdontcareLLC, loveyourtresses( Fiona ), and the rest this is my progress I am now 8 months post....

Too Short

In this Life there are very few things that matter
Friends, Family and the ones you love.
life is definitely too short to not say sorry
Its too short to remain angry
Its too short to spend your hours on things you hate
Life is too short to not see a sunset or sunrise
To never feel rain on your skin
or taste a snow flake

I don't know about much
But this I know
Love God..Love people..Love Life
is my LOGO

One Day

For me hope is one day

Hope is the next day

But is every day

So I know that one day

my dreams will come true

But now in brokenness

I can hope in your name Jesus

I know that if I search I will find

I know that you won't leave me thirsty

You won't give up on me

You trust me

You find me

You love me

When everything fails you win

You pick me up

You put me together

You order my steps

As you comfort me

When I'm done

I'm at my end

You are my wings

I can soar

and though I cant see sometimes

My confidence is in you

You are constant

My stability and anchor

YOU ARE FAITHFUL

my God, my Healer, my LOVER, my redeemer and HOPE.
