Hello naturalistas,
i'm glad to bring you yet another hair post. I hope all is well with everyone. I have been away due to protective styling; i previously had in loose braids for about 5 weeks and took them out. I just want to give my hair a break from protective styling and given myself a personal challenge to how i can wear my natural hair out constantly and also to be able to cope with it on all levels.

Hello Beauties,
I hope everyone's doing well. So the past weekend found me at the engagement of a dear friend, big sis and role model. I was privileged to have been the makeup artist for her special day. Look out for the pics on my facebook page, Beauty Emporium Gh. So i was clueless on how i wanted my hair to look but i knew definitely that i did not want to wear weaves or braids or any long term protective style. I took to instagram to find natural hair pics and trust instagram not to let down. I opted for this simply glam natural hairstyle.

Hello Naturalistas,
So i have recently gotten the vibe of wearing my natural hair out into my system. I feel like its high time I fully embraced it esp the short length.

Ok confession time
For sometime now i haven't been taking very good care of my hair. Well......... I was taking care of it but not fully committed. What peeved me was the fact that is was shedding more than what i considered normal. This was the main reason why i switched from relaxed to natural but was still experiencing the same shedding wahala. So to prevent me from seeing coils of hair lying about my room i always opted for protective styling to prevent me from dealing with it. But after thinking thoroughly i realized that probably i was not detangling properly to remove all the shed hair esp after taking out the protective style. After taking the time to properly detangle my hair during the last wash, i can proudly say i saw little shedding during my wash session. Anyways to cut the long story short i have decided to go on a ban on long term protective styling esp on weaves and braids. I will wear wigs for days when i need my hair to set or i am having a bit of a challenge.

I now realise why my bestie Jeni tells me i have some momma (forehead) lol!
