Braided Wigs

I love to braid my hair. I think it is one of the most flattering styles for my face after the bohemian weave. I actually hate sitting to do the braids as I love them tiny but it is something that I have come to endure with looking good.The funniest thing happened when one of my male friends saw someone with braids tinier than mine take off her hair. He was stunned. I remember what he said, ‘You mean this is available and you would still sit for hours?’ I understand his frustration, but I don’t know if braided wigs have won me over just yet. However, I do appreciate how handy they come. I know some people get really tired with braids and would love to change looks. The braided wig is perfect for that.

As I write this, I may as well be in Siberia so no beaches for me at this time. However, I want to live vicariously through you guys. You must take advantage of the eternal sunshine, wonderful beaches and friends around you. (Easy Tips To Plan A Beach Hangout With Friends) Even if you did not have a beach party to attend, I hope this inspires you to call up your friends and hit Inagbe Beach Resort in Lagos or Guara Waterfalls in Niger State or Ibeno Beach in Akwa Ibom, or you name it. Not everytime craving for Zanzibar but sometimes enjoying the shade under a coconut tree here in Nigeria.
Now that I have inspired you to find a large body of water, what are you going to wear?
• Sunscreen
I am all for beauty these days. Please if you are going to be in the sun, take care of your skin. Black can crack
• Sun Hat
I don’t think they are actually called that but aren’t they just fantastic. You get an air of mystery and Hollywood glamour in two seconds
• Sunglasses
Well, I am on a roll with the sun words, but they are vital. Obviously, you are not a star without your shades
• Beach Dress
Sundress? Just kidding. You can go long, short, midi, maxi. I have actually included a picture of me for inspiration. (Showing skin at the beach)

• Boy Shorts

 Honey, show some leg. I encourage you
• Bikini

 Yes, an actual bikini, monokini, tankini, swimwear basically. I mean when else are you going to be able to show off your body without been accused of being an exhibitionist. P.s – There are many decent styles in the market.
• Slippers/ Sandals
Don’t worry; you can wear your boots when you go clubbing. Just joking. Remember there is lots of sand on the beach. You actually want to go comfortable and prepared
Have fun.

Benefits Of Hair Steaming And How To Steam Your Hair

Hair steaming simply means using moist heat to hydrate dry, dull hair. It also encourages blood flow to circulate which promotes the growth of your hair.
The steam will lift the hair cuticle, thereby allowing treatments to penetrate deep into the hair shaft.
Steaming also allows moisture to penetrate thereby promoting longer and healthier hair growth.
When your hair is dry, it becomes brittle and then it eventually breaks.
Hair steaming helps increase the natural oils produced in your scalp.
Benefits Of Hair Steaming

Hair Steaming hair breakage
Hair Steaming adds moisture and shine
Hair Steaming stops dryness and brittleness
Hair Steaming cleans the scalp by removing dirt and dead skin
Hair steaming promotes circulation, leaves hair soft and improves hair treatments

How To Steam The Hair
Saturate your hair with natural oil and add in few drops of essential oil to it, you can do the hot oil treatment before you steam your hair for a healthy and faster hair growth.
Steaming with hot towel
Soak a towel in water and wring it out so that the water is not dripping.
Place the towel in the microwave for 2 minutes or until it is very warm.
Wrap the warm towel around your head.
Cover your towel wrapped head with a shower cap or plastic bag big enough to hold steam.
Sit under hooded or bonnet dryer. Alternatively, just use your hair dryer for 10-15 minutes.
Rinse off, shampoo and condition as usual.

Steaming with hot water
Steaming your hair with a hot towel after oiling is very good as it helps hair to absorb the oil. For an at-home hair steam treatment:
Soak a towel in a bowl of hot water.
Squeeze off the excess.
Wrap the warm wet towel around your hair.
Cover a shower cap over it and leave it on for 30mins.

How to Revive Your Old Weave

Is your favourite weave tangled? Matted and unrecognisable?
Don’t worry; there’s hope!
Here’s how to bring your weave back to life and prep it for your next install, extending the lifetime of your weave while saving you money. (Hair-Weave Maintenance 101)

How to Bring Your Weave Back To Life
First, you should detangle. Just like your natural hair, you don’t want to throw water on it and start combing and ripping it to shreds.
Depending on how bad your weave is, you can also put some conditioner on the hair to provide some slip. You can make use of Extra Virgin Olive Oil diluted with water.
When detangling, start from the bottom up, so you don’t rip out any strands from the weft.
Once you detangle the weave, soak it for about 20 minutes in Apple Cider Vinegar diluted with water. The vinegar works as a cleaning agent to get rid of the buildup on the hair and clean the wefts.
Next, wash the weave. First, rinse out the ACV mixture from your hair. Remember, your hair is not laundry, so you want to make sure you rinse from top to bottom and not scrubbing which will cause even more tangling.
Get a gentle clarifying shampoo to finish removing the buildup of product on the hair.
You’ll probably start seeing some brown as you lather and rinse. What you observe is normal and a good thing. It means the build up is washing off.
After this, do another shampoo. But this time, use shampoo with Silicon Mix. Silicon Mix is the defibrillator for a weave on life support. Do a good shampoo wash/soak with this and rinse. You will see your hair come back to her old beautiful self.
After the shampooing, let’s condition. Apply your conditioner of choice and let it stay on your hair for about 20-30 minutes.  Place the conditioned hair into a plastic zip lock bag and let it sit. If you want, you can apply heat if you would like to as well.
Once your hair is conditioned, rinse it thoroughly and let air dry. Your hair will be soft and manageable and ready for styling or your next install.

Wide Leg Pants

In a world of skinny jeans, skinny pants, and skin tight, these wide leg pants are a breath of fresh air. I know most people see them as old fashioned or are simply not confident enough on how to pull them off but I assure you that they are the bomb.
We were all surprised when the culottes made a comeback. It was only logical that the style lengthened out a bit to give courage to us mere mortals to try wide leg pants. I loved the culottes but every time I tried to wear them I had a “concerned friend” offering me alternatives.  The wide leg pants are incredibly easy to wear, and they give you this instant fabulous you may not get from a regular pair of trousers. They can be worn for almost every occasion. They can be worn as corporate to work, for weddings, casually anything.
Just in case you still doubt me, I have inspiration from a fabulous woman who loves her wide length pants. She wears them better than anyone I have seen in ages. She was the first glamorous example that came to my mind when I had to talk about wide leg pants. I  introduce you to the lady behind Style Pantry on Instagram. Get your style fix and go out and buy some pants.

The ideal trouser length should graze the top of your foot at the longest. Trailing along the floor might look romantic, but not when it’s raining, and you’ve taken on half the gutter in your turn-up. Also just imagine how much washing you would have to do if you actually get on a dance floor at a party. A little caution here, wide leg pants and stilettos don’t work too well; you should wear something with a more solid heel, so you don’t trip yourself.

Dream Destination: Jordan

I met this beautiful Arabian girl at a house party and struck up a conversation with her. Surprisingly, they were playing Nigerian music from Mr Eazi and she seemed to like it. I was fascinated by her interest in Nigeria, and we started talking. She told me about the beautiful places she had visited and showed me the wonders of the Middle East then told me she had gotten her nose and teeth in Jordan. I was as shocked as you are right now. She had gotten a perfect nose through a cosmetic procedure.
I began to research Jordan, and I fell in love. Asides medical and cosmetic tourism, it is a great place. I suggest this if you are tired of Dubai. I am singlehandedly trying to steer Nigerians to the other gems in the Middle East.
Jordan, an Arab nation on the east bank of the Jordan River, is defined by ancient monuments, nature reserves and seaside resorts. It’s home to the famed archaeological site of Petra, the Nabatean capital dating to around 300 B.C. Set in a narrow valley with tombs, temples and monuments carved into the surrounding pink sandstone cliffs, Petra earns its nickname, the “Rose City.”
There is so much to do in Jordan;
•  Petra

You must visit the lost city of Petra. It would feel like you are in an Indiana Jones movie only better. You should do a sightseeing tour of the palaces, tombs and the Treasury
•  The Dead Sea

You have heard about it, read about it, how cool would it be actually to be in it! I can’t swim so it is very comforting to know I can practice my floating and never sink. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth’s surface. It is right on the border between Israel and Jordan, the mineral content of this body of water is 33%, which is about six times as salty as a normal ocean. It’s called the Dead Sea as nothing can live in it. There are no fish, seaweed or plants of any kind in or around the water. What you’ll see on the shores are clusters of white salt crystals. The reason why most people would get you sea salt from here is that they believe it has healing powers.
•  I have sent you to the Dead Sea, now go to an actual beach, Aqaba.
This is Jordan’s only access to the sea and my what a gateway it is. Think beautiful clear blue water, palm trees, the works. You must visit! Aqaba is awesome for sun, fun, diving, snorkelling and swimming. It is also a great place for water sports such as waterskiing, parasailing, jet-skiing and fishing and ideal for a spot of relaxation.
•  Nightlife
There are some cool spots to go to especially in Petra. Basically, in every city, there is a bubbly night scene that deserves exploring. I believe you should try the local scenery when you travel
• Shopping
Duh! How can you travel and not bring back any souvenirs?
Jordan is a fun sunspot, so it is okay to go all year round though the best times are in Spring when it is a bit cooler between March and May.
