DarkChildLoveThyHair

Hi guys,     My hair has been through a lot of manipulation these last couple of weeks so I decided to give it a well deserved break. I had been dreaming of crochet braids for a while but I was a little hesitant because of how my last crochet braiding went. Remember? It took over 6 hours and was so heavy I had to remove them almost immediately. All in all I was desperate to put my hair in a protective style so I manned up and tried my hands on crochet braids once again. This time it was a lot better, faster and lighter. The reason? I used a bigger bobby pin and I used a different brand of Marley hair.  I found bigger bobby pins! Compared with the one I used the last time. I used this Marley braiding hair from Supreme. It was really light. I used one and a half packets: The Marley hair was too long for me. I wanted medium length braids so I had to figure out how to trim them without getting those annoying blunt end...

Hi guys,    I finally got tagged for something *wide grin! I was tagged by the lovely Ifeyinwa of Love, Ifeyinwa   and I am really excited to  let you all know a little more about me. Here we go: 1. I am a huge fan of SpongeBob Squarepants. Its my daily obsession. 2. I cant drink milk. I find it nauseating. I eat my cereal dry. 3. I am not a morning person...at all. I do most of my chores at night so I can sleep in. 4. In spite of all that happened I still ADORE Chris Brown ;-) and I still have no love for Rihanna. 5.I talk to myself all the time and no I'm am not crazy. When I was a lot younger I got hurt by friends and I made myself my best friend. I actually have full length discussions about everything under the sun with myself. 6. I didn't feel anything when Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston died, but I cried when Muammar Gaddaffi was killed. I also cried for Paul Walker. 7. I hate travelling. 8. I am scared of airp...

Hi guys,    My wallet has been busy these past couple of weeks. First I went to the NITC8 meet-up and got some stuff and then Dabs over at SavvyandChic did a blogvessary sale which I was fortunate enough to take part in. Take at look at my haul:    Rhassoul Clay from KLS Naturals.N3500 I am eager to use this cleansing and deep conditioning clay mask for my hair and face.    Black Castor Oil from Sizzelle. N1900. I was not too happy with the Black castor oil mixed with Lavender because I wanted the regular castor oil which I feel is more effective. I didn't really look at the bottle till I got home. I hope it works as well as the regular  dark one though.      Lip Balm from AJALI. N1000 I just had to buy something from Ifeyinwa and I settled for this since I already have body butters and hair oils.      Perm rods (N1050 @ N350 each) ,Cantu Leave-in (2100) & Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque (3200)...

Hi guys,    This is just a quick post to tell you that I am now on instagram. My handle however is not darkchildlovethyhair .  I was trying to register that handle but Instagram told me someone else had already taken it. I was stunned because the phrase came to me out of the blues and I was left wondering who else my muse spoke to. Anyway I settled for darkchildluvthyhair . Its still the same message so we are good.    I have also opened a BBM channel which I try to update daily. The pin is : C0012AB2B. I am looking forward to connecting with you all :-) KimB

Hi guys,      Like I wished/hoped/prayed for, I was able to attend the Naturals In The City 8 meet-up that I blogged about here . I woke up that morning super excited and ready to spend my dough buying everything I could lay my hands on, but then the rains started. And would not stop. I was determined to attend so I braved the weather and headed out to the venue. I was supremely late because of prior commitments and the crazy traffic at Ajah (got there a few minutes past 5) but thankfully most of the vendors were still there. I met Ifeyinwa of  Love, ifeyinwa , Ebun of Africannaturalistas, Kemi Lewis of KLS naturals, NaturalNigerian and the lady behind Bubbles and Scents(can't remember her name).     I shopped at KLS, Bubbles and Scents, Ajali, Olori, Sizzelle and Fashion Strings. I couldn't take many pictures because the rain kept pouring and you know how Blackberrys act all foolish once they get the tiniest drop of water in the wrong place. Anyhow...
