Hair Update.

Not a lot has changed since my last wash day. I have been wearing my wig a lot through out the week, only taking it off on the weekends. However because it is my birthday soon  I decided to switch it up a bit over the weekend I added a some colour to my wig.


One of the reason why I love wearing wigs and weaves is because of this very reason, I can change my hair up and add colour without the fear of damaging my hair.

I am currently away right now but I will be back soon with more blog post.

Protective Style : Faux Bob Inspired

I'm really trying to enjoy my straight hair and stay away from the usual protective style of buns and braids. So I decided to try something different, after my original faux bob did not work out so well I ended up free styling a hairstyle that seemed to mimic the faux bob.

Instead of tucking my hair into my nape I twisted my hair up into 4 loose sections and pinned it up.

Relaxer Update

(1) I started off by sectioning my hair into 4 and basing my scalp with a hair cream from dr miracles.


(2) Applied the relaxer to my new growth, smoothed it down and left it in for a bout 12mins.


(3) Rinsed out the relaxer and neutralized with ORS shampoo.


(4) I followed up with a green tea rinse leaving the green tea in my hair whilst applying my Protein treatment.


(5) I then deep conditioned with Crème of natures intensive moisturising conditioner for a hour and rinsed.


(6) I wrapped my hair in towel for 30 mins (by this time my hair was no longer dripping wet)


(7) I parted my hair into 4 sections and sprayed Aphogee green tea reconstructor on my hair and ends.


(8) Worked in the hair spray and detangled with a wide tooth comb before spraying Chi iron guard onto my hair and blow-dried my hair.


(9) Once my hair was completely dry I applied Chi silk infusion serum to each section and began straightening my hair using the tension comb.

I was able to retain some length and I'm happy with my hair however I will need to trim my hair soon, my hair doesn't seem even and its annoying me. lol

The Benefits of Tea Rinses

Tea rinses are a great addition to any hair regime, throughout my hair journey I have been trying to find a staple way to combat shedding, However before I was clued up on the benefits of tea rinses I was using a home made garlic treatment and although it worked VERY well the smell was kind of unbearable. So I went on the search for an alternative.

Since discovering tea rinses I have attempted to include them in most of my wash days, however recently I haven't been very committed but I will be from now on.  

So what are some of the benefits of using a tea rinse on your hair.

• Strengthens and Conditions.
• Soothes Dandruff.
• Stimulates Hair Growth.
• Prevents Shedding.

How do I apply it.

Some people choose to pour it directly onto their scalp but I find spraying it directly on to my hair and scalp with a spray bottle allows a less messy application.

When do I apply it.

I only do tea rinses on my wash days, after I have cleansed my hair and scalp I will apply the tea rinse for about 5-10 mins and rinse it out before deep conditioning. Sometimes if I'm feeling really lazy I will leave it in and apply my deep conditioner on top.

Extra bits: I prefer to use Green tea to black tea because I find that my hair feels a lot less stiff once I have rinsed it out.
