HOW TO BUY HAIR PRODUCTS LIKE A PRO

Hi Friends!  It's been a while eh? I have never been so busy in my entire life!! Thankfully I have learned to cope and I hope I can make more time for blogging. Now to the post for today: Buying hair products without regret. I remember how hard it was to choose hair products when I newly bigchopped. I didn't know anyone who had natural hair so I had to rely on blogs and YouTube for hair styling and product suggestions. I went all out back then. Buying different hair products that somehow ended up in a pile I call the Rejects.  I still cringe when I think of how much money I wasted back then. Since that time I have grown. Now I understand that buying products is an art. You can't just buy any product you see and hope for the best. Here are 5 tips to help you up your hair product buying game (-; READ REVIEWS I cannot stress this enough. Always read at least 5 reviews of a product before you buy it. How to do it? Simple. Just type in the product na...

TEMPORARY HAIR COLOUR = GREY

Hi guys,    I would really love to colour my hair. I think about it all the time especially when I'm on Instagram. The only reason I haven't had a dye job is because of fear. Walahi I don't want anything to happen to my precious curls by mistake. I was so glad to find this super cheap temporary hairspray at Blenco the other day. It doesnt look like much but its a really cool spray. I didn't know how the silver would come out but I must say I love how it looks. I think its a steal for N350. I must warn you though about the smell. It is terrible. I always spray my hair outside so that the air will diffuse the pungent chemicals in the spray.  6 shades of gray All you have to do to get is out is a quick rinse. Thanks for stopping by, K im B

Hi guys,    I don't know if I have mentioned it before but I have been shedding like crazy for months. I don't know how I still have any hair left on my head. My hair is also breaking and doesn't seem to retain moisture as much as it used to. After a really terrible day of detangling( I use a wide tooth comb now) and I knew I had to get help. I have seen quite a few Instagram testimonials on the Aphogee 2 Step Protein Treatment so I decided to try it out. Its a hard protein treatment that promises to stop breakage and shedding. I read a few reviews online first then I got right into it.

To begin I laid out my products. From left to right- Aussie moist conditioner , applicator bottle, ORS shampoo, ORS replenishing conditioner(DC) an...
