Growing natural hair!

Hello Bibas! As you may or may not know, i have natural hair. I went natural about 6 month ago and my hair has been growing like wild fire ever since. The growth cycle of my hair is faster then normal due my lifestyle. Yes love, your lifestyle can have an impact on how your skin, nails, and hair look.  Eating healthy and fitness promotes overall well being.
















So how do you get your hair from this


To this?



What factors determine Hair Growth?
  • Genetics
  • Diet & Nutrition
  • Age
  • Medical Conditions
  • Styling Techniques
  • Overall Hair Care Maintenance
On Average, hair growth 6 to 6.5 inches per year and .5 to 1 inch per month with good maintenance. However, there are ways to yield the highest growth. You are what you eat! Eating a well balanced diet can really do wonders on your hair and skin. Super foods such as salmon, beans, spinach are source of vitamins and protein that allows for good hair growth.








  Overall hair care can have a direct affect on hair growth! Incorrect style technique can be one of the reason you may experience lack of growth. Our hair is very fragile and must be handled with care.
 

What can I do to promote Hair Growth?
  1. Drinking 8-9 glasses of water daily 
  2. Diet & Nutrition: keep to organic food and biotin, you need biotin
  3. Minimize Heat, or not at all. Heat fries the hair and breakage may occur
  4. Handle hair with extreme care, this mean only comb your hair when wet. You will decrease hair loss. 
  5. Keep your hair clean: co wash your hair at least once a week and shampoo very two weeks
  6. Eliminate complex styling techniques: Braiding too tight or too long weighs that hair down 
  7. Scalp Massages: this will allow for blood flow
  8. Protect your ends

5 months, four inches


         Natural hair has been a personal journey for me. From my twa to my coily napps, I have developed a love hate relationship with my hair. As it grows however, I find myself seeing my hair in a whole new light. It has been five months and It has grown 4 inches! On average, your hair grows about six and half inches in one year, but with right vitamins and the diet you can speed up your hair growth rate.  I compliment my rapid hair growth to my Nigerian gene and Biotin vitamin. Taking about 10,000 mcg of Biotin and other vitamins daily has done wonders for not only the hair, but also nails and skin. When it comes to direct hair care, I take it easy on my hair with products i apply to it. I mostly cowash my hair and shampoo with raw black soap. I rarely comb my hair and when I do, I only do it in the shower. I apply no heat on my hair, and I do a protein treatment religiously with high fat mayo and whole egg. I don't apply any growth agent on my hair as they are full of questionable ingredient. Its a lazy woman's approach to hair care!

          ALWAYS read labels before you buy! It does not matter what this or that does to someone else's hair, your hair is uniquely your own and you know best! With this in mind, there are universal things you should not apply to your hair. Items such as mineral oil, petroleum, and alcohol are big NO, NO! I personally prefer water  base products. A quick way to tell the majority content in a product is by looking at the first three ingredient, and if anyone of them Include water you are okay! If all that chemistry is a bit much, then stick to natural care. When I say natural, I mean Shea butter, coconut oil, black soap, lemon oil, peppermint oil etc etc. Hair loves moisture, so make it happy! Running water though your hair is the best and easiest way to style and care for your hair.  On that note, happy growing bibas.

Super duper long braids and I

I have a craving for long braids but people are usually against the idea of long braids when the temperature is rising. I don't care so much about the weather i feel like i should be able to rock my braids anytime. The hot weather is more reason for me to drop my braids instead of wear it in a ponytail and feel fabulous in it. I will give my braids a little twist by using brown (color 4) instead of the popular black. Here are some of my hairspirations:






The pictures of my hair when i finally get it done will be coming up soon!!!!

How to wear blue shadow

Blue has always been the ugly stepsister of colours such as gold, pink, purple just to name a few. Well, no more! Wearing blue the right way by toning it down with darker shades not only compliment the skin tone, but also makes the eyes ultra seductive. This is how i wear my bleu!
