African Threading Will Not Grow Your Hair!

Hey guys, I'm back again. And I'll be talking about a particular protective style and the myth surrounding it. You might have figured it out from the title already 😀.
So, for the last time(I hope), African threading does not grow hair! 
There is no hairstyle in this life that grows hair. I'm tired of this myth being flung around. 
Kiko, just like any good protective style can help you retain length. Hair that is left alone will retain length. It's why long-term protective styles(3 -6 weeks) are great for length retention.However, Kiko will not make your hair grow. It will only keep your hair a stretch when you loosen it(maybe this is why they think it grows hair). Moisturise or wash it and it's back to its normal shrunken state.
So, you may notice some growth. That's because as hair usually does, it grew. While it was in the protective style, it grew. It wouldn't have mattered whether it was twists, fixing, braids or adimole(they say this one grows hair too) 🤣🤣.
Y'all  need to stop. Is it everything you hear you'll believe? Hair growth is science not magic. Please! 
Can you people tell I'm pissed🙄😌😂😂😂😂.
But you know I love you guys😍🥰🤗.
Till next time, bye 👋.

Would the Port-Harcourt Naturals Please, Stand Up?

Na wa o! I have been on my natural hair journey for a few years. In 2010, I got geri curls. In 2011, after switching to normal relaxer, I decided I wanted my natural hair back. So, I started to transition. That led me to December 2012, where I cut off the relaxed part of my hair. I just tire for transitioning hair bo :). Although, natural hair comes with a few challenges, I love my hair. Now, I can't imagine it any other way than natural. Ignorant stylists ask me why. I tell them I love natural hair. They just can not understand it. Right now, I've got yarn braids on. However, after what I faced getting them done, it'll be a while before I visit the salon for anything again! Nigerian stylists are clueless with natural hair. Chai! When I take off my yarn braids, I'd have my kinky twists done, myself! Which brings me to my heading. Are there any Port-Harcourt naturals, other than me at all? It'll be nice to know. We could have a meet-up, talk about ways to help our...

DIY - Drawstring Ponytail

Hey guys, how you doing? So I recently made a drawstring ponytail. I've since gotten questions on how I made it. What weave I used? So here I am answering those questions. I had a pack of Miss Rose faux locs weave lying around and didn't know what to do with it. I then decided to make a drawstring ponytail with it. So off to YouTube I went. Well, the video I found was old and only slightly helpful. But I went on with my plan anyway. Here's how I made it. Using that 100 crochet cap as my wig cap, I sewed the weave on it, passed a string round the perimeter of the wig cap and Viola! However, there was one small or big problem. Since I used just one pack, it was pretty scanty and the holes in the cap were visible. I thought to my self, " chai, what have I done? So I've wasted my time and wig cap just like that ". I tried to convince myself I could still wear it. I'm not sure I succeeded sha. I just kept it in a corner. Months later I stumbled on...

Solitude

Solitude This is the place I live   It's peaceful here The only worries are those I let in No phony friends can find me here Life's disappointments can't reach me here   Here, I have witty conversations with my mind My mind........she's funny She's naughty too And when she's not in the mood to chat I seek other companions My companions........they are not always human You see, company is the place I visit Solitude is where I live And I love it here
