           Shrinkage!  That word is enough to get me pissed. With shrinkage, it's quite hard to determine the length of your hair. I feel like my hair is not actually growing most times when I look into the mirror and see that my mass of hair has diminished to a certain not so attractive level. It is totally not possible for your hair to remain stagnant and not to growing. Hair certainly grows. But it is what happens to it after the growth that matters. If you feel your hair is remaining at a certain length, it might be due to the fact that you loose more hair than you grow.  Earlier on, I always hated the thought of shrinkage. It even got to a point that I cried out to my mirror saying 'Tiana, why is your hair not growing?' and the image in the mirror stared back at me. It always had no response to give me. To top it all off, I get the same question from family, friends and outsiders. I don't even know what to reply them because even then, I believed my hair was

             What's up people. It's been like forever since I last uploaded a post but trust me I have been writing. Lately I've been writing stuff not related to hair though. So guys as you must have seen from the title of this post, it is totally unrelated to hair. I actually got inspired to write this after a conversation I had with a friend and I decided to share it.      The unrequited love that binds us. Have you ever been in an unrequited love before? What was your experience and how did you get over it. Be sure to leave a comment before you leave. Happy reading guys.                  I gaze lovingly into into brown eyes that stare back at me with such ferocity that make me shiver. 'I love you' I silently plead 'and I want you to love me too. How hard can that be'. As if hearing the voice of my thoughts, and being disgusted by it, brown eyes looks away from me and continues to do justice to the large bone in its paw. My heart shatters bec

Hello naturals       A happy new month to you all. It feels like ages since I last wrote. I apologize sincerely. I've been real busy with school, preparing for exams and all. But I'm so happy writing this post. I don't know why though. Maybe because I tried writing a week ago and I just couldn't put my thoughts into words. Lol.         As the topic suggests,  we are going to be looking at protective styling in this post. It's advantages and disadvantages.  We are also going to be looking at what you need to do when you have a protective style installed.   PROS           Everyone loves to protective style. Everyone loves to be given a total make over in a salon. I love protective styling majorly because I don't get to do so much work on my hair. The job of braiding before sleeping can be really tiring and time consuming. Protective styling helps me to get all that work off my shoulder. Protective styling gives you variety of ways to style your hair. I per

Hello naturals!            As I promised earlier and as you have seen from the title of this post, we are going to be talking about the various types of conditioners out there in the market. The common types of conditioners are instant, leave in and deep conditioners.   Instant conditioner              This is the the basic conditioner we use after shampooing. It is designed daily use and it cleans the hair superficially. Their effect doesn't last for long. Probably a few days. A lot of people use it to cowash (washing hair with conditioner only) . I use it to cowash. Leave in conditioner             As the name suggests, this conditioner is used as a leave in. It has great moisturising properties, contain good sealants like olive oils, coconut oils and it also leaves your hair feeling soft and manageable. A good leave in conditioner should have water as its major ingredient.    How do you know the major ingredient in a product?             Usually ingredients are listed f

What's up naturals!           So in my last post, I mentioned something about clarifying shampoo. After reading it,  someone sent me a DM asking me if clarifying shampoo is the same with the normal shampoo she knows. Then I realized that I should have talked a little on it. My bad. So,  I decided to dedicate an entire post on tpes of shampoo we have. Or that I know of. If you were also wondering what a clarifying shampoo was, not to worry, I've got your back.          A shampoo is basically supposed to cleanse hair and strip it of its uncleanness. But added to that basic function, shampoos also have other functions added to them which will be highlighted below.          A clarifying shampoo is used when there is so much product buildup in your hair. So it should strictly be used when you have used so much products like gel. If it is used as a basic shampoo, it is very likely to strip your hair of its natural oils.          A medicated shampoo is one which I've seen a wh

              Hello my queens. I trust you had a delightful week I can't believe that it's almost the ending of January already. It seems like we said happy new year just a few days ago. How time flies. How awesome it would be for our hair to grow at the same rate at which time flies. But that is not so. It is said that hair grows at least half an inch every month. That means if you conserve all that hair for a year, you would be getting six inches length of hair. But that is not so. The bad guys always have to interfere. Bad guys like breakage, fall outs and single strand knots which I would talk about in detail in subsequent post. For this post guys I want us to share our thoughts on this issue. Does natural hair equal natural products only?             Natural hair is a term widely used as hair that is free from perming. True. Relaxers are chemicals. Double true. But in the course of our hair journey, do we have to limit ourselves to just natural ingredients? The common nat
