It’s been 4 years!!!

Hi friends, 🙂

I hope you missed me 😀  I recently did another protective style, which also happens to be my favourite hairstyle. So what hairstyle is it? you may ask. It’s mini braids ❤ ❤ ❤ I have been doing this hairstyle since my hair got long enough to plait. Back then I was not concerned about how crazy I may look. Come to think of it, I still don’t mind what people may think of my hair or me 🙂

To prep for my hairstyle, I deep conditioned my hair first the washed and conditioned it. I had my hair in 4 to 6 plaits (to stretch my hair overnight), moisturised it with shea butter and called it a day. The next day I undid the plaits  finger detangled each section then twisted them up. I sectioned my hair into 4 and worked on one section at a time when doing my mini braids, applying Aunt Jackie’s  instant detangling therapy and shea butter to each mini section before braiding (plaiting). This was the finished look 🙂

I could not believe how long my hair looked without blow drying or using any type of heat on it before braiding. It’s been 4 good years of hair growth and learning and I look forward to many more years.

See you in the next one 😉

Natural Hair in South Africa

 

I recently went natural and I have noticed that in a country like South Africa, natural hair is not so common. This in turn has an effect on the availability of natural hair products.

It’s not the easiest thing to find products that are as natural as possible and when you do the quantity is rather small. this can be very irritating at times given how much you have to pay for it. I wonder when all this would change, all I know is that it has to, because there is no way I’m going back to relaxing my hair. That life is over! *serious face* LOL
