10 NATURAL HAIR TIPS FOR HEALTHY HAIR

July 6, 2024 28 Comments

Let’s talk about hair

Everyone wishes for long, silky, shiny hair but with natural hair, I aim mostly for health. I admit that I never really cared about taking care of my hair since I was used to braiding it all year round and not thinking much about it but after sometime, my hair texture changed and it became thin, brittle, full of split ends and just looked a mess until I decided to start taking care of it the right way and what suits me. These are 10 natural hair tips for healthy hair that have helped me with my 4c hair and still try to follow most of the time.

When it comes to natural hair, don’t lie to yourself and think that just because another person has natural hair, that you both have the same and that you should follow the same regimen, because everyone’s hair type is different and accepts different products and maintenance.

June 23, 2024 105 Comments

As much as I like being organised, there are moments where it gets out of hand and I end up going back to square one and restarting all over again. Most of the time it’s because I haven’t decluttered for a while and that goes wrong real quick and doing it after a while does help to feel that you’re getting a hand on what’s in your home. Plus once you remove all the clutter, it does feel good and makes your home cleaner and your life much more easier. That’s why today, I am here to tell you how to declutter your home.

1. ANALYSE

The first thing you need to do is analyse what you have around your house, go into each room see what you have and know which room to start with. If you were organised before and you just declutter once in a while, then you probably already know what’s in every room. I showed you a while back how I get organised and how it has made my life so much better. Once you’ve perused through each room, we now get into the nitty gritty and here are questions you will have to answer in the process.
