How To Keep Your Weaves Looking Fresh

                           ‘You don't know, oh, oh

                          you don't know you're beautiful’……One Direction

I always love it when men sing about the beauty of a woman. It just makes us feel giggly on the inside. But you can’t feel beautiful and look beautiful with a bad weave, or smelly, or musty weave.

Now Aimee is here to give you some tips on how to keep you weave fresh, bouncy, shiny, Good as new and good to go. I like weaves, but don’t feel them when they look dull, dry, messy, and muddled up at the back.

Matted hair with visible new growth and tracks will definitely get you a side eye so here are tips on how to keep your weaves looking fresh:

1.       Wet the hair first with lukewarm water and use a mild shampoo, Scrubbing or bunching your hair could also tangle it. Rinse well and allow the weave air dry. https://www.jumia.com.ng/ors-moisturizing-shampoo-370ml-4205768.html

2.      Avoid oils because they weigh the weave hair down and will cause tangles and matting. 

3.      Use a wide toothed comb for straight extensions and finger-style curlier weaves.

4.      I will encourage us ladies to have a shower cap handy…. Especially in this wet weather.

5.       Wrap your hair with a satin scarf at night….. easy lady,…. Not too tight; it can be highly discomforting. when its tight.

6.      Let your weave  air dry after washing. But if you must use a dryer, stick to the lowest heat setting.

Girl talk:

Ø  Did you see Agatha's glamified hair?

Ø  I so did, she is rocking that weave like she just made it.

That hair is amazeballs!"

Yep…. That’s what you get from following this little tip….. Until I come your way again. Keep your chin up,walk tall and Glamify

Protective Styles ( Crown Braids)

Hi fam,

So am back again with another post on Protective Styles for both natural and permed hair. And i will be using more of pictures for this post.

This crown braid is easy and cute at the same time, for one of those days you are feeling lazy but still want to look awesometastic  

                            I rocked this look recently to school, and i was looking chic!.

Chic!

The Office Chic Look

For a night out with the girls..... or on a date *wink

Awesometastic

The benefits of this protective styling is :

1. The less you do to black hair, the better it flourishes. Our hair can rarely stand all types of manipulation you see in ads ,black hair tends to grow longer when left alone.

2. Growing longer hair is one of the most-cited reasons for choosing protective styling.

3. It keeps your hair soft.... if you doubt it, Try packing your hair for a week vs protecting your hair with crown braids for another week. See the difference yourself.

                                   Simple tools for a perfect Crown Braid

1. Water ( Use a spray bottle).
2. Coconut Oil
3. Shea Butter
4. Gel
5. Wide toothed comb
6. Tail comb
7. Bobby pin

Style on and look GLAM!.

Using Garlic As a Hair Loss Remedy

Hair functions to protect the skin and to help maintain the body’s temperature balance. Hair growth is a cyclic process that depends on where the hair is located, the person’s age, family history, nutritional status, and environmental factors.

There are many ways to help hair loss, including the use of garlic. Yes, Garlic…a lot of people may say ‘yuck’, it smells bad. But before I go on with the steps to follow, let me give you a hint of what garlic contains; Calorie for calorie, garlic is incredibly nutritious.

A 1 ounce (28 grams) serving of garlic contains (3):

Manganese: 23% of the RDA.

Vitamin B6: 17% of the RDA.

Vitamin C: 15% of the RDA.

Selenium: 6% of the RDA.

Fiber: 1 gram.

Decent amounts of Calcium, Copper, Potassium, Phosphorus, Iron and Vitamin B1.

 Follow a few simple steps to help combat hair loss with garlic.

1.       Start off with six to eight cloves of garlic. Peel the garlic cloves. Use a garlic press to get 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of garlic juice from these cloves.

2.       Once you've juiced the garlic, set it aside. Grab some honey and measure out 1 tablespoon .Mix the honey into the small bowl of garlic juice and put the mixture in the refrigerator.

3.       Brew chamomile tea. You can get this on https://www.jumia.com.ng/swanson-100-certified-organic-chamomile-tea-2586724.html Once the tea has brewed for the right amount of time, pour the mixture into a cup.

4.       Once our tea is done, take the honey and garlic mixture out of the fridge. Mix one egg yolk into the mixture. It may take a minute to get it combined because the honey is thick. Add one tablespoon of aloe vera gel and mix very well.

5.       Gently massage the mixture into your scalp, not all of your hair. Since the hair grows from the scalp. After it is on your scalp, wrap your head with a clean towel for 20mins.

6.       Wash the mixture out of your hair with a very gentle shampoo. I have gotten good feedback on this product; Cantu https://www.jumia.com.ng/cantu-shea-butter-moisturizng-cream-shampoo-5382261.html . Rinse thoroughly, take a second egg yolk and massage that into your scalp, this time rinse off with warm water.

     Finish this cycle by pouring a cup of the chamomile tea over your scalp, rinse your hair once again with it. Do this 3 times a week until hair re-growth begins or shedding stops. Repeat the treatment twice a month. 

Exciting right, all that Garlic phobia will disappear once you start seeing results. And trust me, Garlic has other benefits asides hair loss. You too can get your natural, or permed hair looking healthy again

        You can get this on http://www.olori.com.ng/shop/elucence-moisture-balancing-conditioner/

Break two eggs and extract the yoke leaving just the egg white, pour 2 teaspoonful of olive oil into the egg white, mix them properly and mask your hair with it. Cover your shower cap and wait for 30-60 minutes then rinse it off with cold water and dry your hair.
