I've been getting requests from Naija Ladies asking me to do a video showing how I tie my head wrap. I did a demonstration at the last meetup and I think some of you didn't quite get it.... Well instead of making a new video here are some pictures and a video from Natural Belle; the blogger that taught me to tie head wraps....watch and learn...It's really simple.

I was given permission to post these pictures so please don't use without permission from Belle

Head Wraps and Healthy Hair

As we approach the harmattan season a lot of ladies start to dread the hair loss that accompanies the dry harsh weather. A great way to protect your hair during this season is by tying head wraps. I have observed that the sisters with the most healthy heads of hair in Nigeria are those from the Northern part of the country. Their manes are almost always covered (either for religious or cultural reasons). Their secret to healthy hair: HEAD WRAPS + LOW MANIPULATION. I asked a friend of mine to share her regimen and here's her reply.

Nomadic Fulani Girl

Wash her hair weekly or biweekly
Deep condition whenever she feels the need. I think that the reason for minimal breakage with little deep conditioning is a protected head of hair. Because her hair is always protected from the harsh afternoon sun, it stays moisturized for as long as possible.
Hardly ever trims her hair. Reason? Low hair manipulation equals healthy hair strands (few split ends)
Braids her hair and it stays so for 2-3 weeks.
Lastly, she applies a little Shea butter daily before tying her head tie.

I know for a fact that when I apply Shea butter to my hair and tie it up, I get very soft hair at the ending of the day. Shea butter + heat (under the head tie) sort of deep conditions the hair.

So when the weather gets too harsh for you hair, always consider tying your headwrap. It is a super easy protective style.
