Why I Started Blogging

Hey kinks and coils 💜

This is my very first post put on the world wide web as a blogger and yes I am feeling like a thousand elephants are stomping in my stomach. However it has to be done cause I have been feeling some type of way.
I felt the need to start a blog because most naturals do not have a voice in the natural hair movement especially South Africa the natural hair movement is very small here and I want to enlarge it by including other naturals especially us naturals with fine hair because natural hair is always associated with thick hair, loc rockers feel like they are not included and we don't really get to see males with natural hair .

I just want this to be a comfortable space for ladies and gents who have coily kink hair. And with your support I hope it will become something successful.

Hello?

I hope there are still people outchea because I have been M. I. A but I promise that I have a good excuse : I'm in university now! 2017 was my gap year and that is why I could keep up with my weekly uploads but now that everything has been switched up and a lot has happened in a short space of time like emotional, financial, mental, physical stress and a little bit of drama 🙄. I had to take a digital cleanse and concentrate on some other things because they required most of my time and attention. I had to move to the North West and I had to adapt to the location, language, weather and a new schedule and I literally had no time to do anything besides study and do all my chores.  One thing that has drastically changed is the way I handle my finances. My disposable income is next to nothing because I have so many expenses and I have to cut corners in my natural hair regimen in order to keep my sanity and money and I figured that I'm not the only student going through this ...

How I Trim My Natural Hair

Image
If you follow me on  Instagram then you have probably seen that I have been rocking a mini puff and I'm excited that my hair is growing like a weed but I have to pull myself back and remind myself that I need a trim. As much as I love my current length I also have to trim my hair because a delayed trim can make me go back to a TWA in a matter of minutes because I would have to cut the damage that traveled all the way up my strands and so to avoid that I need to trim. Oh by the way, my hair is in the awkward stage and I have been incorporating a couple of protective styles. There are a few ways to trim your natural hair. I used two methods that are quite popular. I make sure to detangle small sections and I used : Spritz bottle Leave in conditioner Detangle brush Pik .. After detangling a section I spritz some water on my hair and apply a bit of leave in conditioner and rake it through my fingers and then I use my detangling brush to further detangle. I lost ...

Update : My Health And Confidence Journey + Going Vegan

Happy new year beautiful people , I know I'm late but I hope it still counts. A few days ago I made my way to the gym and I just felt strange , like I was lacking something  , I'm pretty sure you know that feeling , it's that feeling when it feels like you the only person noticing the change and everyone doesn't see anything and you go around asking people "do you see it though" , that is exactly how I felt a couple of days ago. I made my way to the gym and after my workout I took a warm steamy shower and I felt uneasy when I saw my shadow. I looked a bit closer and questioned myself like : " could it be ? " and I looked a bit closer and I finally found why I felt peculiar that day . My thighs aren't touching anymore , they touch just a little near my pelvic area though , and my muffin top is getting smaller. I also couldn't believe it. All that hard work is finally paying off. I have also noticed a difference in my back and my ri...

Let's Talk About My Naps + Searching For My Staple Products.

A couple of days ago I was compiling a topic list and as I was going through it , I realized that I have all these topics where I share my views and recommendations but you really don't know much about my hair and I have a natural hair blog 😳 . . . Oh well , today I took out the time to talk about my naps and I figured that this would be important if you are wondering what my hair texture is and if our hair would react differently/similar to certain products. The most important thing is probably texture so I have multiple textures on my head. I have only described my hair as coily and that doesn't really tell you much because some people with looser textures describe their hair as coily. So my hair is : 3c at the nape / maybe my coils are a little looser there. I have cut a couple of curls back there because I thought that it was heat damage . I'm still not sure if my coils are a  looser 4b coil or they are actually 3c. I'm on the fence about this. 4a at the b...
