my hair story

i cut my hair when i was about 8 or 9 years old. this because i had so much hair and it was thick and hurt to comb so it was cut. i carried an afro till my last year in high school.



december 2009 i got my first perm. i uses Soft-Sheen Carsons Dark and lovely relaxer.




last year somewhere in Europe i took my braids out and had my hair relaxed by a nice lady called Nikolai. less two months later my hair is dew again and un-comb-able. that relaxer is defiantely not made for African hair. if i relaxed my hair here, it would have lasted a little more than 3months.
i thought i'd try a new relaxer, only because it was organic and for kids and also because i my God mother uses it and she is in her sixties.
i headed to the salon to have it done, before the entire relaxer was put in my head, my whole head was on fire.

i begged the stylist to pls wash my hair out in like two minutes. i donot understand, its supposed to be a childrens kit and yet my hair totally rejected it. Hair too has feelings i guess. definately switching back to dark and lovely, it doesnt hurt at all, and keeps my perm in for long, its not too healthy to have a perm often. three to four months for me.
this is the out come of my perm. i love to keep my curls.




curls curls

curls and large earrings

i look so girly with this H&M glimmering head band and Opia heart-shaped earrings

more curls.






my God-mum also introduced me to this hair serum by Africa's best. its good stuff and most especially non-greasy. i recommend it.

















know your hair type and treat it right

i'm obsessed with my Purple Identity watch. this ring is just so unusual i love it.
the denim dress is a short dress, love it all the more

cinched with a pastel pink belt

brown and bronze gladiators and my famous red sling bag with tassels.
in search of neon blue nail polish...

my motivation

i stumbled on a blog by a lady called Dulce. and this is her closet! oh my freakin Judas!!!! its gorgeous... she also has her office in her closet, now how cool is that.
  so well organized. now this defines walk in closet. i absolutely love it. she is a fashion blogger and also a MUM, that defines a whole new level of cool!
  she seems to have H&M in almost all her outfits like , she could be my lost sister.

how short is too short.

lately  i have been into short outfits.... it gets pretty hot and jeans dont always work for me. i have decided to invest in shorts, they are really a sexy attire, turns heads. they can be dressed up or down.
i searched Google and found a couple of really nice ones.












i cannot even pick a favourite, i love them all :)
