MESHED LOCS

For a long time now, I have been battling with the same question. Many of my clients and friends have also asked me about wax and which is the best method to maintain locs. First of all wax or moulding gel is the most common method of locs maintenance. For the simple reason that it keeps the locs looking neat and smooth. But just like everything else, it has its pros and cons. From a personal experience, using wax in excessive amounts will damage your locs, they will start having build up (the whitish stuff) and it’s really hard to get it out. Your locs will appear untidy and you may even start hating them to the point of wanting to cut them. If you want to use wax for your retouch, please visit your loctitian, he or she will know the right amount of wax to use in retouching your locs and the right way to dry them. If the wax is not dried properly, it will stick to your locs and form build up. Apparently, some fellas opt to retouch their locs on their own as a way of saving money. T...

Hey loves! I feel so jelous of my locs today. They got so much attention from me!From massage, dye, conditioning,masking and just letting it relax.They must be super happy today!! Having blonde hair has been my thing for years. It defines my hair and me as a person.But one tricky thing with hair dye is that it can easily damage your locs. Your locs become dry and prone to breakage. You can avoid all this misfortunes by conditioning and moisturizing your locs properly. Dyed locs require extra care or else they will start thinning or even falling off!! Just to break it down for you, this is how I treated and conditioned my locs after applying dye. *After applying the dye, I rinsed off with cold water and dried my locs with a towel. * I then used nice and lovely treatment (for the first time)- I am trying out new products to see which works best on my locs before I settle on one treatment. * After the treatment I sat under a drier for 10 minutes. Then rinsed it off. *For conditio...

Happy new year! Ok,you know after 5th January we should all stop using happy new year as a greeting right? And some people should stop using phrases like "new year,new me!" "Keeping a small circle" "positive energy only" on their social media posts. Because they have said that since 2000 and are still the same,still hanging out with their numerous friends despite saying "keeping a small circle" .LOL. So lets continue living and striving to be better. Enough with this annoying words. Back to my post.PHONE CASES. Ever gone to look for a case for your phone and you just can't find any unique or cute one? Well, it really sucks. But good news is, you can decorate a simple phone case and turn it to a colourful dope one. 1. Glitter case Buy a see through case or if you already have one, apply  nail glue or super glue lightly on the cover then pour glitter over it and spread it out. You can then accesorize with anything you have like a tiny key, ...

Are you holiday hangovered like I am? Damn, if only we could rewind time!! But I thank God we made it this far in one piece. So,when I went shopping for my hair products last week ,I came across two products that have really been effective on my locs. They are: *STYLIN DREDZ CONDITIONING SPRAY MOISTURE SPLASH If you have bristle dry hair, this one will work perfectly for your locs. It is enriched with softeners that help to soften your hair hence protecting it against damage. The conditioning spray restores moisture to your locs and soothes dry scalp. Among its constituents are water, glycerin and castor oil all which are good for moisture restoration and for protecting your hair against damage. It also has a very sweet smell. You can get it in most supermarkets and in bestlady cosmetics shops. *STYLIN DREDS SPRAY SHAMPOO WITH TEA TREE This shampoo is very easy on your hair and it has a very sweet smell.

Hey. Honestly, I used to judge plump women.There! I said it. I used to think that they eat alot and don't care about it. But as they say, it's until you walk in someone's shoes that you will understand their struggle. We have all gone through something right? Sometimes talking about it helps someone out there who is also going through something. Weight gain and weight loss is frustrating. As much as we judge people according to how they look, how big their belly is or how skinny they are, we should try and imagine ourselves in their shoes for a moment. But still, if you have no control over anything it should be the least of your worries. You can choose to love yourself or choose to feel sorry for yourself. The latter is pretty depressing and it will eat you up like a bad disease. We are our choices. I may not know what you are going through or what you are trying to survive. But what I know is, it's not permanent. Do not fear to talk about it to people you trust, ...
