[quote author=sunshinepee post=61612408][/quote] You are welcome It might take some time to grow. And also leave your edges alone, stay away from wigs or if you do any other protective style tell your hair dresser to leave it alone. Those hair are very fragile. Don't let any hair style be too tight or small, or else it's going to continue breaking and you wouldn't see any progress |

hi lovely girl thanks for the trend its really informative what do you think about a whatsapp group so we could keep track of each others progress cause I get lazy at times even confused when it comes to my hair but I think with a chat group we could help each other out |

Tina1223: To be honest, I haven't thought about that. How about we vote. Democracy all the way Whatsapp group or not? Like for no, share for yes Or just comment on whatever you want. Just a way to count the votes 5 Likes 6 Shares |

@lovelygurl pls I just did a big chop 2 days ago, my hair is low porosity type, what is the next step, I saw you adviced someone with low cut not to do any thing with her hair for now, though her own is medium |
Re: Embracing The Beauty Of Your Natural Hair by Nobody: 9:54pm On Oct 20, 2017 |
temmytopsy1: If it's really short than don't stress yourself. You can choose to moisturise with a leave in or an oil. You don't really need a deep conditioner for now though, perhaps when your hair grows longer. If you notice your leave in doesn't sink in, then add some water to it. And only apply either oil or leave in on damp hair. |

4peace4: I'd say first do a porosity test so you won't waste more money on products, which don't work for you. The mayonnaise might not have worked because of the protein. That's if you have low porosity hair. Especially if your had felt kind of straw like. If you have high porosity hair, you can still make it work by adding oils or avocado butters, or even Shea butter. Anything for added moisture. And a deep conditioner should be left on your hair for at least 30mins. You might want to try hair wonder products though. People here say they're good |

Phew!! So I just finished going through this thread and I have decided to go and wear my patience cloak for this natural hair journey hopefully school doesn't frustrate my efforts I just realised I don't know nothing and I still have a long way to go, didn't even know there was something called hair scissors I just used the regular scissors for my mini chop, I have to learn how to stick to a routine(I suck at this) etc. Anyhow, I must do this so that I can boast of how I achieved the one thing I set out to do And please Yay to the whatsapp group You're doing a great job lovelygurl 6 Likes |
Re: Embracing The Beauty Of Your Natural Hair by Nobody: 8:14am On Oct 22, 2017 |
qhutetomsel: It gets easier with time, believe me To be honest, I used a regular scissors to big chop mum's hair. Just made sure it was extremely sharp, so her ends would not be split. A hair scissors is of course the best and safest way but if you are extremely careful, you won't need it And thaaank you |

Re: Embracing The Beauty Of Your Natural Hair by Crystalbell17: 4:12pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
Someone advised me to use Hair Wonder Leave in Conditioner as a replacement for Cantu. So, I went to Jumia to get price estimate. All I saw was Hair Wonder Oil, Shampoo and Cream. Pls is the Cream the same thing as the Leave In Conditioner or are they different. If yes? How can I get it. If no? Another Cantu substitute is needed. God bless |

It's crazy how we all have different experiences There's NO SINGLE natural hair product in drugstores except for 1 here. You have to order everything online. Let's not start with foundations. Just 2 brands with few colors for us. And this actually just changed recently. Last year we had NOTHING. I'm sooooo jealous . I knew you'd find a lot of options loool! qhutetomsel |
Re: Embracing The Beauty Of Your Natural Hair by Nobody: 5:34am On Oct 24, 2017 |
lovelygurl: Was in the drugstore the other day to take a closer look at those Foundations that are meant for us. Actually non is my skin tone. Plus they only have two darkest shade Who told them black girls are only two shades! Actually, it doesn't make sense, they should pull the foundation shades out of their store Even Douglas's Foundation has only one dark shade Luckily, Sephora is now in Germany. Their store should have every shade range, maybe that will prompt other drug store to stock them |
Re: Embracing The Beauty Of Your Natural Hair by Nobody: 5:41am On Oct 24, 2017 |
Jigba: Loool! Didn't even bother to check. I bet one is with a red undertone, so red you'll look like a black Trump and the other so yellow, you could as well pass as white Didn't know Sephora is in Germany though But damn from what I've heard, their stuff is sooooo expensive |
Re: Embracing The Beauty Of Your Natural Hair by qhutetomsel(f): 5:47am On Oct 24, 2017 |
lovelygurl:I was so surprised I wasn't expecting to see any here coupled with the fact that my city is small,and the white people here are more. Wow! Even that one store would be very expensive right? Blacks in America literally had to fight for foundation colors that suits our tone.. Lol! Don't be jealous I will use them on your behalf . Don't worry, I'm pretty sure with time there will be more options for you guys there. Sending a pm soon On a side note I just realised that the hair cream I got from Nigeria is hair wonder. Its a really nice product and it worked perfectly for my relaxed hair. So I'm guessing their products will work fine for natural hair too. Funny enough I abandoned it somewhere |
Re: Embracing The Beauty Of Your Natural Hair by qhutetomsel(f): 5:52am On Oct 24, 2017 |
Jigba:sephora will break your bank girl .. Its meant for working class citizen .. But rihanna's fenty beauty has a lot of tones for black girls, you can check it out at sephora if you have the money .. |

Re: Embracing The Beauty Of Your Natural Hair by Nobody: 6:05am On Oct 24, 2017 |
lovelygurl: They are. You should Google it And to think they want to be praised for selling darker shades when it's just two |
Re: Embracing The Beauty Of Your Natural Hair by Nobody: 6:07am On Oct 24, 2017 |
qhutetomsel: Oh Didn't know they are that expensive Yes, Rihanna's fenty beauty has a lot shades Let me keep on carrying my makeup free face till I have the money |
