Updated Hair Post: My hair care routine/My tips for growing afro hair out !







Some of the Products I use everyday (or most days) on my hair.

Tresemmé- 24 hour body hairspray
Tresemmé- Heat protection spray
Avon- Heat protection spray.
Boots- Mouse ( I use a lot of mouse)
Olive oil- Wrap/set Mousse
Loreal- Studio silk and gloss
Garnier fructis- style hair wax
Olive oil-relaxer (for when i take extensions or weaves out but after that i just leave it !)
So here are my tips to growing your hair out ! once ever 2 months.


1. Use Quality hair products (No Tesco value) !!!


Always use quality hair products on you hair as the saying goes "your body is a temple". DO NOT use cheap "value" products on your hair,it will not work it will make your hair dry and brittle !!! I personally recommend loreal, Tresemê or Aussie.
Dont just shampoo your hair, condition it after washing it really makes a difference to the texture and once in a while DEEP condition it also.
 (Deep conditioning is just putting regular conditioner in you hair and then wrapping it with something like a shower cap for a longer amount of time than usual).


2. BRUSH DONT EVER !! COMB (especially with the skinny comb,only use skinny comb to part hair,thats what it's intended use is for.)


When you brushing your hair hold it lightly at the bottom dont force tangles or it will remove huge clumps of hair.Dont worry about time just take your time and brush it gently and evenly through.
If you brush it in the right way you should only lose 1 or two tiny strands of hair per brush.


3. As Little heat as possible


Keep your hair straightened if you want but don't straighten it everyday ... once a week or so is ENOUGH !
and i can't emphasis this enough ... use heat protection spray  !!!!

4. Biotin



Biotin is a supplement that helps with hair growth,it is not a magic hair growth formula but it gives your hair the strength it needs so it can grow.I wont lie to you guys, i have never used Biotin so i cant say much about it but i have heard it really good supplement for nails and hair and etc but i will definitely pick it up so i can give an honest opinion on it.
Update: I have used it at 300 Mg to start,ill talk more about it when i see results.

5. Drink water 


Drink lots of water, at least 1 litre a day.Water is good for EVERYTHING !!!! your hair,nails and skin.I'm also advising myself with this point, carry a bottle of water 1L with you everyday and make sure by the end of the day it's gone.


6. Be patient



Be patient,your hair will not grown over night..... it take TIME so sit back relax and enjoy your fab life just as usual.


Disclaimer: This are my tips for growing hair, it is not guaranteed to work for everyone as there's many different hair types so this may not work for everyone.

Behind the scenes.


Model: Lola Adeyanju.
I was recently invited to a fashion show at Toni&Guy in Galway city by my friend and Model Lola Adeyanju.The fashion show featured young Designer Charlotte Vike's Daphney designs.There's nothing else I can say apart from emphasising on the fact that The show,the clothes and the concept of charlotte's Daphney designs was truly exceptional and immersed with absolute originality.
Some designs were casual,some formal and some could be worn both ways.A division of Daphney's designs were also infused with african Ankara patterns,such as the swimsuit and jewelry.

I have included above some of my personal favorites, (Go See above !!!).

All in all,it was a fantastic debut for Charlotte of Daphney designs,it is without doubt that it can be assumed that she has a bright future as a designer.
I enjoyed every moment of the show and I look forward to working with charlotte Vike in the future.

B□x Braids 𝐸ndlessly In 𝕊tyle ❤





Box braids, micro braids, yarn braids, whatever your calling them, there is definitely a current trend for braids, and we are talking, 90's style long chunky braids, the okpo twin's, Vashtie, and jewellery designer Nyne have been rocking the throw back style for a while, but you could say the trend has gathered speed due to the likes of Solange, Willow Smith, Chrisette Michelle, and Joy Bryant all rocking braids on red carpet events some what heightening it's appeal. 
There has been some backlash on the style, one of the writers over at coco + crème believe the look to be dated
However the style stems back further than Janet in poetic justice(shock lol), braiding our hair is apart of our heritage that has never been out of style. it's a wardrobe staple so to speak, it's a great way to rest your hair,  braids can be regal, boho, classic, work appropriate, and trendy.

I personally think that braids are a part of black culture in general and the tradition of my country (Nigeria).Iv'e been getting my hair braided for as far back as i can remember. I think it is really popular not just because celebrities such as Willow smith,and Solange Knowles wear it but because its beautiful,classy, sophisticated yet  moderate.And I certainly dont think it should be referred to as a "classic style".... Braids,box braids,cornrows or whatever we choose to refer to them as are always in Style! they certainly never look outta style.

 SPEAKING of which im getting my hair done in box braids on Thursday,appointment booked in the city at my hairdressers for 9am because lets face it it takes time to look good especially when getting braids done.I will take pictures and put them on this blog,filling in the process,time ...how long it takes to get done and what the result/end finish looks like.Let it be known i havent had box braids done in ages so this will be Interesting. Laters x
