EASY, LAZY, " STYLI " AND FUNNY HAIRSTYLES ...... LOL

SINCE THIS SUMMER I HAVE LESS AND LESS TIME TO FOCUS ON MY HAIR AND TO BE HONEST I AM VERY TIRED TO TRY SOMETHING NEW.
BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME I END UP WITH A DIFFERENT RESULTS. SO IT IS QUITE DEPRESSING SOMETIMES.

 I REALLY WISH TO MASTER THE FLAT TWISTS BUT I STILL CAN'T  DO IT PROPERLY.
SO WHAT'S THE POINT ? BUT I NEEDED  TO HAVE A DECENT HAIRSTYLE FOR WORK SO I ENDED UP DOING SOME RANDOM BRAIDS JUST TO TIDE MY HAIR.

I  WAS FULLY AWARE THAT MY BRAIDS WERE QUITE "UNDEFINED" BUT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BRAIDS OUT THE NEXT MORNING.
THEN  I WOKE UP LATE SO ....... I JUST WENT AT WORK  THIS WAY.

YOU WILL NEVER IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN THE STUDENTS AND ALSO SOME MEMBERS OF THE STAFF CONGRATULATED  ME ON MY  " PRETTY ANS STYLI  HAIR"...

AND I WAS SO CHOCKED AND AMUSED. IN FACT IT BROUGHT ME BACK  TO  MY CHILDHOOD WHEN MY MUM WAS TREADING MY HAIR AND I WAS ANXIOUS ABOUT THE RECEPTION I WILL HAVE ON MONDAY  :
-  ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE FUN OF ME ?
-   MUMMY YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST MADE A BUN OR TWO BRAIDS. IT IS LESS RISKY .LOL

AND YOU KNOW WHAT ! ALL  THE TIME PEOPLE WERE AMAZED BY THE RESULTS IN FACT I NEVER BEEN TEASED ABOUT MY HAIR DURING MY CHILDHOOD.

THAT'S WHY I THINK I HAD MY FIRST RELAXER AT 20.  AND IT WAS TO AVOID " THE PAIN "  WHICH WAS COMING WITH THE COMBING.

SOMETIME WE WORRY  TOO MUCH ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WILL SAY WHEN MOST OF THE TIME THEY MAY NOT PAY ATTENTION OR JUST LIKE IT. LOL

FINALLY I LOVE MY SHRINKAGE..... HAPPY BANTU KNOTS OUT

YOU KNOW HOW SHRINKAGE CAN ANNOYED ME. LOL BUT GUESS WHAT ? I CHANGED MY MIND RECENTLY. I DECIDED TO DO THE BEST FROM MY SHRINKAGE SO I WILL NOT  HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY LENGTH RETENTION.

RECENTLY I FOUND ON YOUTUBE A TUTORIAL ON BANTU KNOT OUT AND DECIDED TO TRY IT BECAUSE IT WAS EASY AND I ONLY NEEDED  MY FINGERS WHICH WAS GREAT FOR ME. PLUS IT GIVES A GOOD DEFINITION EVEN IF I AM NOT AN EXPERT I KNEW I CAN ACHIEVED A GOOD HAIRSTYLE FOR CHURCH. LOL.

IT STARTED TWO DAYS BEFORE. I WASHED AND CO WASHED  MY HAIR THEN I APPLIED  A MIX OF CASTOR OIL, ALMA OIL AND ARGAN OIL WITH A LITTLE HEAD MASSAGE TO HELP SPREADING ALL THE SOLUTION ON MY HAIR AND I MADE TWO BRAIDS. LET IT DRY FOR TWO DAYS.

 I WAS AFRAID  THAT MY KNOTS WILL NEED SOME  BOBBY PINS BUT THEY DID WELL BY STAYING IN PLACE AND VERY TIGHT FOR ALL NIGHT. I WAS QUITE SURPRISED BUT I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE I ALSO APPLIED  A  HAIR LOTION FROM  "ORGANIC BOOT STIMULATOR"  BEFORE THE PROCESS.

I MADE IN TOTAL 8 KNOTS. I WISHED I COULD DO MORE BUT IT WASN'T EASY TO BEGIN WITH ESPECIALLY IN THE BACK AND THE MIDDLE.  I AM QUITE HAPPY OF THE RESULTS EVEN IF THE DEFINITION COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BUT I THINK IT'S BECAUSE I WAITED TWO DAYS TO BANTU KNOT OUT.

BUT I DON'T REALLY CARE I WAS SOOOO HAPPY . I THINK I WILL DO IT MORE FREQUENTLY

WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY OLD FRIENDS..... LOL

 YES IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE MY LAST POST BUT I HAD SO MANY THINGS TO DO AND THERE WERE FEW PEOPLE SICK IN MY FAMILY.

 MY DAD AGAIN AND MY SISTER SO I WAS JUST TO WORRIED TO TAKE CARE OF MY HAIR. THEN THE LAST WEEK MY BOILER STOP WORKING ( NOTHING SERIOUS) BUT I DID NOT HAVE HOT WATER FOR THE ALL WEEK.

 SO YOU MUST IMAGINE THAT I HAVE TO HEAT WATER TO TAKE MY TWO DAILY "SHOWERS"... NOW THINGS HAVE STARTED TO GO BACK TO NORMAL TO ME . MY SISTER IS OK  AND MY FATHER IS GETTING BETTER.

I KEPT MY BRAIDS  DURING ALL SEPTEMBER. I WANTED TO KEEP THEM UNTIL HALLOWEEN BUT I DECIDED TO TAKE THEM OFF, THEY WERE TOO OLD.

BUT I WAS QUITE WORRIED  FOR THE DE-TANGLING. MY HAIR ARE THICK AND MY ARMS HURT ME ...PLUS I DON'T WANT TO  CREATE ANY UNNECESSARY BREAKAGE.

SO I DECIDED TO FINGER DE-TANGLE THEN I APPLIED  PALM OIL.... YES PALM OIL! IT 'S BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME THAT I DID NOT USE IT. BUT MY HAIR WERE SOOO THICK TO HANDLE.

WHEN I APPLIED  THE PALM OIL IT WAS MORE EASIER TO BRUSH AND COMB GENTLY. AFTER I USED 3 EGGS + 3 TABLE SPOON OF SESAME SEED OIL AND APPLIED IT ON MY HAIR AS A PRE- SHAMPOO.

TO GET RID OFF ALL THIS INGREDIENTS I HAD TO WASH MY HAIR WITH MY   NATURAL BLACK  SOAP FROM GHANA ....

IT WAS JUST THE PERFECT SOAP TO USE. MY HAIR AND SCALP WERE SOOO CLEAN. LOL. I FINISHED THE PROCESS WITH A BASIC CONDITIONER.

I APPLIED A MIXTURE OF CASTOR OIL, ARGAN OIL AND ALMA OIL. THEN I BLOW DRIED BY USING THE TENSION METHOD. I JUST MADE  TWO BRAIDS AND THAT'S IT BUT IT TOOK ME THE WHOLE FRIDAY NIGHT TO DO IT ( 4 HOURS ! ).

I PLAN TO KEEP THAT STYLE FOR OCTOBER. THE BRAIDS ARE EASY TO MAINTAIN BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO TAKE THEM OFF BY YOURSELF IT'S TAKING TOO MUCH TIME AND I AM SO BUSY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO HEAT 2  BIG BASINS OF WATER. ( YES ! I HAVE DONE THIS WHEN MY BOILER WASN'T WORKING ).

BUT WITH THE LITTLE HELP OF  " MY OLD FRIENDS " ( PALM OIL AND EGGS ) I MANAGED TO SUCCEED. LOL
