Hair Inspiration: Oluwaseun of MyStyledExpressions

Introduce yourself. Who is Oluwaseun?

I’m a Nigerian, Yoruba to be specific. I live in the United States with my family. I’m a student studying Business Management. I’m a lover of all things beautiful. I’m a style obsessed human being! I love to look my best always. I’m fun, dependable, and creative. I love God with all my heart and try to live my life for Him! I’m a child of God!

What’s Your Hair Regimen?

Every other week I was my hair with shampoo:

1.        First, I wet my entire hair/head with water, then I let it set in for some minutes until my hair absorbs most of the water.
2.        Then, I put it in 8 sections of twist; it makes it easier for me to de-tangle.
3.        I de-tangle from tip to root, and put in some bits of shampoo as I go on (I mix my shampoo with a bit of conditioner)
4.        Comb through the hair with a wide tooth comb until it is smooth, then twist back up.
5.        I then repeat steps 3 and 4 until all sections have been shampooed.
6.        Lastly, I rinse out the shampoo thoroughly, pat dry with a t-shirt and moisturize!

Every other week I deep condition my hair using mayo, egg and conditioner:

1.        First, I wet my entire hair/head with water, then let it set in for some minutes until my hair absorbs most of the water.
2.        Then I put it in 8 sections of twists; it makes it easier for me to detangle
3.        I detangle from tip to root, then put in the mayo mixture a bit at a time, and also detangle while the mayo mixture is in my hair. After that, I twist it back up.
4.        I then repeat step number 3 until all sections have been saturated with the mayo mixture.
5.        After all the steps are completed, I leave the mayo mixture in my hair for about 1-2 hours depending on what I’m doing.
6.        Lastly, I rinse out the mayo mixture thoroughly, pat dry with a t-shirt and moisturize!

Weekly/Daily regimen:

•          I put my hair in twist or cornrows before going to bed, every night. That prevents matting and breakage.
•          In the mornings, I unravel the twists or cornrows, wet my hair with water, detangle, add some conditioner and oil, then let it air dry to achieve the ‘shrunken’ look.
•          For hair styles with my natural hair, I do twist most of the time. Then I pin up the twists into desired style when needed. Once in a while, I rock a puff.
•          I do braids/weaves at times, mostly curly ones though. When my braids/weave is in, I spray my hair with water and olive oil mixture everyday, if not every other day.

 I hope more naturals rock their hair in whatever state it may be in, whether short or not! Love your hair now and always!

NatMane: Who says we have to go through all that stress just to achieve a curly wash and go when we can do a shrunken fro in a short time and move on out!! Thanks for sharing Oluwaseun:)
