Around July 2015, I suffered a hair setback
when I used a protein treatment. In order to recover, I decided not to relax my
hair as planned and started using wigs as a protective style. In October, I got
a new wig and it was a bit tight. I wore it for a few weeks, thinking that it
would loosen up. That month, I noticed some thinning at the front of my hair. I
thought it was the tightness of the Natmanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09105657397341035596noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703266828781256630.post-4907596801117412622016-03-28T19:50:00.001+01:002016-04-07T11:06:12.325+01:00CONSIDER THIS BEFORE GETTING THOSE BRAIDS DONE
Ever wonder what kenekelon hair looks like close up? Well I did and I just had to share the pictures with you all :). If you compare these pictures with the last two pictures of real African hair you wouldn't notice much of a difference.
134 strands of kenekelon hair. Not enough to give you that chunky full look.

Question: Can man-shanu grow my hair like the Fulani?
Answer: Man-shanu is milk fat that has been separated from fresh milk. From what I have been told, the Fulani and other people of Northern Nigeria, eat it and use it to soften and retain moisture on the skin and hair. Due to the fact that most Fulani people have long soft curly hair, there is a myth in Nigeria that man-shanu isNatmanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09105657397341035596noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703266828781256630.post-9958229857815203282015-03-05T23:35:00.001+01:002015-03-07T00:04:04.987+01:00PREVENTING BREAKAGE DURING TAKE DOWN
Ever kept a style in for 3 weeks or more only to notice that your ends are breaking off as you loosen the braids? Well, you are not alone. To those of us who aim for length this could mean that you are loosing - instead or retaining - what little length you might have gained over time. A culprit for this could be dryness.

If you spend one week in a salon in Nigeria, the number of women with hair and scalp related problems will surprise you.

For some of us 'free-fro-care' hours are a luxury. Type 4 hair is beautiful but as it gets longer, so does the time and effort to keep it healthy increase. See below for a brief description of what my regimen can be like...

First of all let me start by setting the record straight: I am not a professional hair stylist o, I just know how to braid natural hair. That said, lets proceed to the topic at hand.
