Your hair is your crowing glory so always making sure, your hair is
neat/tidy with a touch of glamour is an essential to be being classy and
fabulous.
As an African woman I have
naturally kinky hair but I relax to straighten it and then it becomes more manageable
then I can curl, add weaves or extensions to get the look that I want.
To avoid permanent damage to your hair due to using relaxers try and use
knit relaxers (No-lye crème relaxers) like Dark & Lovely , Gentle Treatment,
Olive Oil & Dr.Miracles etc. please avoid cup relaxers and they are
normally quite harsh on the hair.
I relax my hair every three
months so between relaxing sessions I have extensions, weaves or braids on.
Always ensure you steam and have
a deep conditioning treatment a least every two weeks this will help avoid breakage
and damage to your hair.
As tempting as dying your hair
all the various crazy colours you can think of is, I would suggest you try not
to as this often leads to breakage as the dye really dries out your hair.
For deep conditioning treatment I
use hair cholesterol and hair Mayonnaise mixed with some castor oil this
ensures my hair is in tip top condition, relieves dry/itchy scalp and supports
new hair growth.
Remember keeping your hair tidy
and neat adds a lot to how you are perceived both at work and social gatherings.
Having hair styled to shoulder length is really nice and gives a very feminine
touch and appeal and guys always notice ladies with long hair. Also adding
wearing weaves that have some highlights make you look younger and attractive.
Never go to the office with
unkempt hair because instantly you will be perceived as being dirty and people will
think if you cannot take the time out to brush and tidy your hair/make your hair
then you will not have the time and strength of character to give your best on
the job.
If you work in an office ensure
your hair style is office appropriate not distracting or too long or too big
like a Lion’s mane. Example of office appropriate hair is like that of Olivia
pope in scandal.
For that upscale event/dinner
that you need to make an impression some hairstyles below on the likes of Beyoncé,
Kelly Rowland and Kim Kardashian will really make you stand out and look
glamorous.
There are quite a number of
saloons in Lagos, Nigeria, which are really good and are able to give you that
polished and high-end look. Examples are Make Me, Down-Town, Bobby’s Signature
and Head Masters.
Till next time then be Bold,
Classy and Fabulous!!!!!
