DarkChildLoveThyHair

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...

  Hello guys,   This post is actually a double treat for me because It's about 2 things I am crazy about - blogs and natural hair ;-) I think bloggers are amazing because they share so much of their life, experiences, advice and routines with the world for free. I know I am not alone when I say that I have learnt so much about life, beauty, hair, make-up, style and a lot more, just by reading blogs. Free education from the comfort of my home...nothing beats that! And from my blog name you already know  how I feel about natural hair ;-)) Mix up the 2 and this post was conceived.   This is a list of 5 of my favourite Nigerian bloggers with natural hair. Mind you, they are not natural hair bloggers per se, they blog about a host of other things (with a sprinkling of hair stuff once in a while). Enjoy! SISI YEMMIE  AKA Doroblogger I love Sisi Yemmie! Her blog is one of my favourite Nigerian blogs. She blogs about EVERYTHING- Food, Pl...

  Hi guys,  I have been dying to go for a natural hair meet-up since I returned to natural. I read the blog posts and drool over the pictures but I have never had the opportunity to be physically part of one. This weekend it's finally happening. The NATURALS IN THE CITY 8 meet-up is here :-)) Thankfully I have been able to squeeze out some time to make sure I attend. Here is the flyer:     There are going to be awesome giveaways, hair tutorials and lots and lots of shopping. I almost cannot wait!!!! I hope you will be able to come too...   KimB    

Hi guys,      I was really happy to get my hands on this product because the original one is  my absolute favourite leave-in . I figured since this one is from Cantu and had "Natural" on the label it would be a perfect for my hair. After months of praying and fasting(lol) I finally got it from Olori.
