Homemade Hibiscus hair mask

Hey guys,

It's March already and I am sad to say I have only done 2 hair masks this year ahhhhh!

I know, not hitting them life goals lol.

I am really into natural, homemade masks so I think I am getting away with it as one of my fav masks incorporates Hibiscus which packs all kinds of goodness into your hair. Hibiscus is a really good natural remedy for so many things. It strengthens weak or damaged hair, promotes hair growth and reduces shedding and nourishes the hair shaft. To find out more click here.

Mixture includes:

6 heaped tablespoons of hair conditioner (whatever you use)

4 heaped tablespoons of plain natural yoghurt or Greek

1 table spoon of fresh ground dried Hibiscus petals

3 drops of tea tree essential oil

2 drops of peppermint essential oil

2 teaspoons of natural honey

2 tablespoons aloe vera water

1 tablespoon of Castor oil

1 tablespoon of Coconut oil

1 teaspoon Jojoba oil

1 teaspoon Grapeseed oil

keep in for 30 mins to 1 hour minimum.

If you have short hair this will make enough for 2 masks for store the remainder in the fridge for a maximum of 2 weeks. With my big fro I can use all of this if I am going for a really deep mask conditioner. This mixture softens, moisturises and strengthens you hair. you will definitely see a difference in shine and the general feel of you hair.

You will need to rinse you hair thoroughly and give it a shake to ensure no bits are left in your hair.

ALERT: those with blonde or lightened hair may experience slight dying of the hair so if lavender isn't your look for SS15 maybe steer clear!

What is your go to hair mask?

New Hair: Marley twists

Hey Kids,
 It's been a minute.

Work, Life, Sleep and all that good stuff has indeed got in the way a tad!

I am not one to switch it up with my hair that often (which is probz why I still have my hairline and a sizable fro) but I have been eyeing up Marley twists for the longest time.

I haven't had extensions in my hair since teenage days and a weave literally twice in my life!

I have been totally obsessed with this beautiful twists formerly known when very small as kinky twists and I finally took the plunge and did it. Yay!

 My best friend and hair guru extraordinaire hooked me up.

She used to do my hair at school, so I trusted her 100% to look after my hair and scalp.

I am a bit of a researcher by nature and knew that i wanted to use the invisible method.

I sent over videos on how that was done. (see vids below).

1st day

Products used:
Ecostyler gel with Argan (mine £1.99)
Homemade Shea butter whip moisturiser
(recipe coming soon)!!!
Hair x 4 in colour 2 and 4:  Sensationnel Soft N Silky (Mine purchased for £2.79 per batch).

What do you think?

I have had them just over 2 weeks and
I absolutely LOVE them and will definitely be doing them again.
When done correctly they are an awesome protective style.
As my hair is a lot softer than the hair,
I think 1 month to 7 weeks is as long as they will stay in neatly. As you can see they were easy to manoeuvre on the first day and I had no tightness or pulling on my edges or scalp.

 I am not ready for box braids as my neck is still in heavy hair training but I look forward to getting my poetic justice on!

Baby you should try some new thangs..... French plait braid out

Hey dawls,

So I did a really cute French braid hairstyle for work and it got good reviews so I am gonna share it.

I washed my hair really late at night and couldn't be bovved to blow dry it so I conditioned, moisturised and did two French braids thinking I would get a bit of stretch then put it in a bun for work.

I woke up however and was feeling the sleekness so off I went to work.

I haven't done French braids in ages as I am terrible at doing cornrows on myself so I was rather pleased with the outcome. Practice makes perfect I guess.

 

Morning bus selfies lol

This is the braid out, I redid my plaits after seeing the definition on the first day and here is the outcome. I didn't blowdry it so there is some shrinkage but I am loving it.
