Week in Hair | Goodbye January… hello February!

I’m filming my weave vid tomorrow! Whoop whoop! I was supposed to get my hair layered last week before filming but my schedule has been ridiculous! Where have all the hours in the day gone? Either way I’ve grown to love the hair regardless. 

In other news I went swimming on Saturday… I wore a supermarket carrier bag, 2 headscarves and my swimming cap and guess what…

My hair was still D-R-E-N-C-H-E-D! 

I’m just glad my wash day was simple and quick- I didn’t feel any manipulation at all.

– I separated my leave out hair and weave and commenced to pre-poo 
using Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Extreme because my Gingernut Brulee pre-poo had finished.

Hair | How to be a better Product Junkie… QUICK TIPS!

The word junkie is usually negatively used but hello it’s 2012 baby and ‘junkie’ is the new way of saying ‘crazy about’… ever heard of Jesus Junkie? Well it follows the same suit!

I can confess I am a hair product junkie, and slowly becoming a shoe, clothes and jewellery junkie! Eeek!!!

However, fortunately my years of studying Econ and a serious African upbringing, have taught me how to save the odd dollar, so thank God I’ve found me a balance. Here are some quick tips on how to keep your inner PJ satisfied but not broke!

Haircare ain’t easy | Hair Blogger Bloopers!



One of my favourite things about blogging has got to be the reader emails I get! Some from new found hair lovers, others 
from long lost friends and the odd email from aunties who use to tease my hair obsession!!!


I’ve realised how easy a hair journey may look and seem coming from a hair blogger but y’all, trust me it ain’t! I have finally come to a point where I can say my regime and staple products are here to stay… but really and truly even haircare can switch on you every now and again! 

Point is I’ve made many mistakes and its taken me a whole 2 years to get here so be encouraged already ^_^

New Hair Do | 18 inch Weave !!! Yikes

Did I mention that I would be resorting to a weave as a protective style for the next 6-8 weeks? Well now you know! I have NEVER used 18′ in my hair so the length still makes me feel weird! The longest i’ve had is 16′ and that was with curly hair!

I’ve convinced the sis [Love Lamide] to give the hair a big trim seeing as she refuses to cut it!
I’ll be doing a bi-weekly update on youtube and uploading a review of the hair aswell as a maintenance 101 video… so stay tuned ^_^ !!!

What do you think … keep the length or trim trim trim?

P.s any guesses on what kind of hair it it?
