Hey peeps, I'd like to introduce y'all to another beautiful Nigerian natural!

Crochet braids/weaves is a very good styling option for your natural hair that unlike weaves gives you more flexibilty with styling.
It's gentle on your hairline and easy to do yourself....like I did.

Hey peeps!

NIGERIA IS 53! WOOOHOOO!!!

Okay....I know a lot of people will say "why so excited, we aren't seeing anything to be excited about?" . Nigeria's 53, so what?

Well, truth be told, it's easy to see different things to dislike about Nigeria such as the problematic clause supporting  'Under age marriage' bill  passed.....now that's really not fair...I mean, that's the best bit of life when you're free and have no cares in the world ...why rob a child of that????......amongst other things such as corruption, poor water and power supply, insecurity, low employment rates and so on.

There is however several things I love about Nigeria.....like how the governors in several states are trying their best to make them easier to live in by implementing free education policies at pre secondary school level (though I wonder where they fished out some illiterate teachers), improving on power supply, better road network and transportation. If they keep this up and maintain them, then there'll be more things to be excited about.

Be that as it may......HAPPY INDEPENDENCE, NIGERIA!

........so....the hair talk.....of course!


There's this belief among Nigerians and other people around the world that Nigerian hair is tough, e sabi break comb well well. It's unmanageable and so not attractive!
In one word, 'BAD HAIR'.
Any woman with healthy, bouncy, long hair is simply NOT Nigerian. Period.
Any woman with long hair has a weave on.
Any woman with manageable hair is "lucky" or "is mixed possibly with Indian" or "lives in obodo oyibo" or "has Fulani ancestry" or "is using some secret potion".


My dears, the truth is BAD HAIR CARE PRACTICES equals BAD HAIR and GOOD HAIR CARE PRACTICES equals GOOD HAIR.
The Indians and Brazilians, whose hair we love so much and admire generally have good hair practices.....don't believe me?....Well, thank God for Google!!!
Now as an Independence Month special..... and this kinda being a hair blog, I'll love to introduce a new series .....*drum roll*.....called.......*more drum roll*
